Rio Tinto Kennecott joins Terelion's Circularity Program focused on

ANT Industries, a leading manufacturer of aero engine and gas turbine components in Atherstone, Warwickshire, has announced a significant milestone in its commitment to quality and excellence.

Meanwhile, ACM200 is coated with ‘Super FF’ to provide high orders of wear resistance when machining PH stainless steels and ACM300 should be the first choice with its ‘Super ZX’ coating when highly balanced wear and fracture resistance is required on materials such as stainless steel.

Designed for dynamic milling with low radial engagement and full length of the cut, the KOR™ series has expanded to include a 5xD length of cut in the KOR™ 5DA series for milling in aluminum.

The new inserts bring processing benefits with the ability to maintain high levels or surface finish and each insert has a high rake with a curved wave form to the cutting edge. With a greater width to the insert this creates a more stable seating to support the cutting action. The seven grades: ACP100, 200 and 300, ACK200 and 300 and ACM 200 and 300 can cut to depths up to 5mm. ACP100 has the latest ultra-smooth Sumitomo ‘FF’ chemical vapour deposition (CVD) coating giving excellent wear and thermal resistance for high speed and light cutting of steel. ACP200 uses Sumitomo’s ‘Super ZX’ physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating on a tough carbide substrate enabling milling to be maintained at rates up to 1.5 times faster than conventional inserts. This also has the added benefit of high wear resistance. ACP 300 too has ‘Super ZX’ coating and is designed for use under more arduous roughing applications. The AXMT inserts extend the range of Sumitomo’s successful WEX Wave Mill Series of milling cutter bodies by introducing the WEX Type 1000 for 90° shoulder milling applications that also enable pocketing, helical boring, slotting, shoulder milling and ramping cycles to be carried out with the same tool. The three highly stable cutter body designs incorporate Short Type ‘E’ ‘EL’ and Shell Type ‘F’ which uses a smaller Sumitomo AXMT06 insert that has a high rake ‘wave’ style precision cutting edge. Inserts can be specified from seven substrates ACP, ACK and ACM and three chip breaker geometries –L with 25°, -G with 20° and higher edge strength –H which has 5°. Each is segregated to maximise performance when used respectively on high speed/light cutting, general purpose or roughing applications Each of the three variants of cutter body provide greater resistance to abrasion and corrosion with enhanced chip evacuation through internal coolant feed. Short Type ‘E’ is available from 10mm to 25mm diameter and has between two and seven insert pockets. Short Type ‘EL’ in diameters between 10mm and 20mm has between two and four teeth and Shell Type ‘F’ has outside diameters between 32mm with eight teeth to 63mm with 14 teeth. ACP100 has the latest ultra-smooth Sumitomo ‘FF’ chemical vapour deposition (CVD) coating giving excellent wear and thermal resistance for high speed and light cutting of steel. ACP200 uses Sumitomo’s ‘Super ZX’ physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating on a tough carbide substrate enabling milling to be maintained at rates up to 1.5 times faster than conventional inserts. The ACK200 geometry with its ‘Super FF’ CVD coating is for use in more general machining tasks involving grey and ductile cast irons and when milling the same materials and heavy interrupted cuts are involved, the ACK300, which is coated with Sumitomo’s ‘Super ZX’, provides a solution able to generate even greater levels of productivity. Meanwhile, ACM200 is coated with ‘Super FF’ to provide high orders of wear resistance when machining PH stainless steels and ACM300 should be the first choice with its ‘Super ZX’ coating when highly balanced wear and fracture resistance is required on materials such as stainless steel. www.sumitomotool.com

The KenTIP™ FS modular drill platform has expanded to include straight-flute drills for static applications on lathes and straight-flute drills for combined drilling and countersinking applications with holders. Additionally, the platform now includes the versatile KenTIP FS GTP insert with the GOdrill™ point design. The GOtip is the only insert in the KenTIP FS platform built for multi-material drilling and is ideal for customers looking for one tool to run in multiple workpieces when drilling medium and large hole diameters.

Solid carbide drills have been modernized in the high-performance Kenna Universal™ Drill platform. The upgraded drills include the B979 series with grade KCU15A for 12xD drilling which can be used without a pilot drill in multiple materials. Additionally, the platform has added the B73* series step drills with grade KCU15 for core-holes in traditional tap sizes.
