EDGE² SBN/SBD Insert Grade Selection
Uncoated (Base Grade) | with Coating | Description | Specifications |
---|---|---|---|
UC | Sub-micron tungsten carbide with high edge strength and good toughness. Good for machining steels, stainless steels, high-temperature alloys, cast iron, and nonferrous materials. | (C-2), (K10) | |
GLH SBN ONLY |
High-temperature and high-hardness coating. Proven performance and wear resistance in virtually all materials makes this a versatile and simple grade choice. | 3600 HV, 2000°F, .2 Co |
|
TS | New coating intended for general-purpose use across a wide variety of materials including steels and stainless steels. High-temperature grade providing excellent heat and wear resistance. Use for most applications. | 3800 HV, 2200°F, .2 Co |
|
HM | New coating intended primarily for high-temperature applications like hardened steels and tough PH-stainless steels. Highest hardness and heat resistance. Also excellent for irons. | 4000 HV, 2400°F, .2 Co |
|
FPDL | Diamond-like coating for achieving better tool life vs. standard PVD coatings in graphite and composite applications, without the high cost of diamond-tipped or diamond-coated inserts. | 5000 HV, 1000°F, .2 Co |
