NTK Newsletter - Topic ST4 Grade
Topic: ST4 Carbide Grade
Best Grade for Tough Materials
PVD - CrAlN Coating
Higher hardness and oxidation resistance
Extends tool life and allows efficient machining of stainless steels such as: 304, 17-4PH, and other hard to cut materials like Nitinol.
Improved bonding force and surface smoothness
Achieves stable cutting by preventing Built Up Edge problems when machining stainless steel for: Excellent Surface Finish & Extended Tool Life
ST4 + Unique Insert Design = Success
YL, CL, AM3 for Positive Inserts styles: C,D,VUL, ZP for Neutral Insert styles: C,D,TTFX Inserts for large depth of Cuts (up to 5mm) |
BM - ChipbreakerWiper flat on cutting edge creates excellent surface finishes. Max. Depth of Cut .209" (TBP) and .256" (TBPA) |
CX ChipbreakerExcellent chip control - curls chips resulting in reduced cycle time and superior surface finish. |
TH ChipbreakerStrenghtened edge improves fracture resistance to achieve longer tool life. |
GX ChipbreakerExcellent chip control - curls chips resulting in reduced cycle time and superior surface finish even when side turning.
