Iscar Develops An Innovative Line Of High Functioning Carbide Grades For Heightened Efficiency

A new family of Iscar turning inserts brings Sumo Tec performance and stability to CVD and DVD carbide grades. In the same tests in a variety of turning applications, the inserts outlasted their nearest competitors by 26 to 288 percent. The key to the longer life is the Sumo Tec specific treatment, introduced in late '07 in a limited range of milling inserts, that smooths the coated surface and diminishes surface tension stresses in insert coatings. These result cooler running, greater chipping resistance, reduced built up edge and reliably longer edge life in all workpiece materials. During the alumina coating procedure, internal tension stresses sometimes cause cracks. The new Sumo Tec treatment induces compression stresses, which aides to seal these cracks. The seven new Sumo Tec turning grades include two for cast iron; three for steel and one for heat-resistant alloys and hardened steel. All the most popular insert geometries are attainable from inventory, with new geometries being added frequently. Iscar also plans to add new grades as well.

Here are the grades available:

FOR CAST IRON
IC5005, with a hard substrate, MTCVD TiCN and thick Al2O3 coating, is recommended mainly for nodular cast iron. It also handles other cast irons at medium to high cutting speeds at stable or slightly unstable conditions. This grade may be used in hard cast irons when exceptionally high wear resistance is required.

IC5010, featuring a tough substrate, MTCVD TiCN and thick Al2O3 coating, targets gray cast iron. It is endorsed for interrupted cuts and unstable turning conditions in other materials.

FOR STEEL
IC8150, consisting of a incredibly hard substrate with a cobalt enriched outer layer, MTCVD TiCN and a thick alpha Al2O3 CVD coating. Featuring excellent thermal stability and resistance to chipping, this grade is endorsed for high speed turning of steel under stable or slightly unstable conditions. It can also handle stainless steel and interrupted cuts in nodular cast iron.

IC8250, a tough substrate with the same outer layers. It features excellent thermal stableness and protection to plastic deformation and is recommended for general machining of alloyed and stainless steel in a wide range of conditions.

IC8350, featuring a very tough substrate under the same outer layers. It delivers excellent shock protection and good wear resistance on alloyed and stainless steel.

For Alloys, Stainless Steel and Hardened Steel
IC807, with a tough submicron substrate under a TiAlN PVD coating, is suitable for turning heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel and hard steel at low to medium cutting speeds. In a test against its closest competitor on all three materials, the advancement in tool life was up to 150%.

Key Test Results
Prior to launching the new SUMO TEC turning tool line, ISCAR tested all grades against their nearest challengers in a variety of applications. Here are the key conclusions for grades 5005 and 5010 in cast iron. The advancement was 47% in SAE 1045 steel and 250% in 4140. In forging steel, the new Sumo Tec insert lasted twice as long.
