IC806 PVD coated grade now available for face grooving high temperature alloys
ISCAR is introducing the IC806 complementary SUMO TEC PVD coated grade for face grooving high temperature alloys, especially Inconel 718 and austenitic stainless steel.
IC806 Grade – A Winning Solution for Inconel and Stainless Steel Machining ISCAR’s aim is to effectively machine Inconel and austenitic stainless steel and therefore has successfully developed grade IC806; a sub-micron grade with superior wear resistant properties and advanced PVD TiAlN. ISCAR’s SUMO-TECH coating exhibits better results when compared to competitor grades and other ISCAR grades. These materials are extensively used in the food, chemical and medical equipment industries.
IC806 has a hard submicron substrate with PVD coating and a special post coating treatment that provides substantially improved tool life and better reliability.
1. Substrate
• A very hard submicron grain size
2. SUMO TEC PVD coating
• Improves toughness
• Improves flaking & chipping resistance
• Provides very reliable and repeatable results
Recommendations
1. Turning Inconel 718 at moderate to high cutting speeds
2. Stable to slightly unstable conditions
The IC806 new grade was tested and compared to leading competitor grades with
advantageous results.
