Seco Tools has brought out the MP3000 milling grade, which provides optimal performance in milling steel and tool steels with relatively thin average chip thickness.
The new grade is especially effective in square shoulder and copy milling applications where wear resistance and tool life need to be improved.
In these applications, MP3000 has shown a 40 per cent increase in tool life and up to a 200 per cent increase in machined components as compared with competitive steel machining grades.
The new MP3000 cemented carbide makes the grade hard and tough.
A slightly thicker PVD coating increases wear resistance over a large application range and an improved coating process increases coating adhesion, edge quality and edge integrity.
Although developed to enable higher speed capabilities in milling of steels, MP3000 is also suited for use as an optimising solution for machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant alloys.
The new grade is offered in a range of insert geometries to cover face, square shoulder and copy-milling applications.
It is especially effective when paired with Seco's new Square 6 milling cutter, serving as a first-choice tool for a variety of general machining operations.
Seco Tools is part of Seco Tools AB (Fagersta, Sweden), a world leader in metalworking technologies.
