Carboloy Introduces New Grade Inserts for Turning Aluminum
Warren, Mich., November 21, 2002 - Carboloy Inc., has introduced 19 new inserts in a new Seco-Carboloy Grade KX. An uncoated cobalt micrograin grade, Grade KX is wear-resistant and tough, providing good tool life in a wide variety of aluminum alloy applications.
The new inserts are ideally suited for aluminum machining due to a highly polished rake surface, a 17° positive rake angle, and a sharp cutting edge. These combined characteristics reduce chip drag and often completely eliminate metal build-up, a major cause of poor surface finish and even chippage of the insert edge. This results in increased tool life, improved part finish and tighter tolerance.
The inserts are available in 7° center-lock inserts in CC-, DC-, TC- and VC-styles.
