Find your CVD- and PVD-coated carbide grades and uncoated cermets optimized for steel.
Grades GC4330 and GC4340 are CVD grades optimized for steel milling, offering substantially increased tool life and improved process security. GC4330 is the first choice for roughing to semi-finish face milling, while GC4340 is the first choice for rough shoulder milling and groove milling. Grade GC1230 is optimized for light roughing to finishing operations in steel milling. It covers general applications to challenging applications such as square shoulder, complex tool paths and deep cavities. This grade excels in both edge line toughness and wear resistance, allowing you to opt for a longer tool life or higher productivity, or to machine with a more sustainable approach.Technical features
