Heavy-duty solid end milling with superior performance
New grades for CoroMill® Plura HD increase productivity without compromising tool life or process security
Cutting tool specialist Sandvik Coromant expands its offer of CoroMill® Plura HD solid-end mills for heavy-duty roughing in steel and stainless steel with two new grades. This new generation of grades features the unique Zertivo™ 2.0 coating, which combines world-class productivity with exceptional metal removal rate and the highest possible process security.
CoroMill® Plura HD is Sandvik Coromant’s first choice optimized solution for heavy-duty applications up to 2×D in steel and stainless steel (ISO P and ISO M), offering safe and efficient solid end milling. Thanks to the new Zertivo™ 2.0 coated grades tool life, process security and productivity are improved even further.
“With Zertivo™ 2.0 we apply our comprehensive knowledge in coating technologies to our solid round tools”, says Antti Wikström, Global Product Manager, Solid end mills at Sandvik Coromant. “This gives us an opportunity to offer unique, custom-made coatings that will handle our customers’ machining challenges with superior performance and tooling efficiency.”
The new grades allow for 30% higher cutting speed recommendations in primary application areas ISO P and ISO M, as well as secondary materials ISO K and ISO S, due to their optimized flute shape, which provides effective chip evacuation. The grades designed for stainless steel machining come in two variants: one with internal coolant for improved temperature control and chip flow, and one without internal coolant.
The standard assortment offers diameters from 2–25 mm, a 2×D depth of cut, 4 to 5 teeth, and a ramping angle at 5° or 7°. Tailor Made® options are available within the Customized solutions range.
