Stellram Introduces New Insert With 3F Geometry For Aerospace Applications

Stellram now offers a new precision ground insert with a geometry for stainless steels, aluminum, high temperature alloys and steels. The new 3F geometry is ideal for
aerospace applications where high accuracy is required.

Advantages of the new insert include:

* Periphery ground edges for high accuracy profiling and
excellent indexability
* Light hones and positive geometry for reduced built-up
edge and improved surface finish
* Small radii available for light depths of cut and for
producing small corner radii
* New PVD grades offer layer of lubricity for reduced
coefficient of friction plus extended wear
* New coating also improves heat resistance and optimizes
chip flow
