Sandvik Coromant Expands CoroMill 490 Family to Steel and Cast Iron Milling
Sandvik Coromant Expands CoroMill 490 Family to Steel and Cast Iron Milling
Fair Lawn, New Jersey, July 30, 2008 – Sandvik Coromant has announced an expansion to its CoroMill 490 family of milling tools. Perfect for face and shoulder milling, the new additions are designed for applications in steel and cast iron.
The CoroMill 490 is a versatile tool, capable of offering high performance for contouring, edging and slot, shoulder and face milling. The tool’s design is compatible with the latest insert geometries and grades developed by Sandvik Coromant.
As the first mill with a true 90-degree square shoulder, the CoroMill 490 can produce a finished piece with a single pass, typically reducing machining costs by up to 25%. Additionally, the tool’s flexibility allows it to replace multiple cutting tools, simplifying production and increasing efficiency.
The new additions to the CoroMill 490 family ensure that its higher cutting data and increased productivity are available for a much broader array of applications.

Valenite Grade VP8525 for Stainless Steel
Valenite LLC has introduced two new tooling grades—expanding its targeted and application-specific lineup that allows users to better match machining operations and workpiece materials with tooling inserts for optimum production efficiencies, quality and economies. The new cutting technologies are the ValProTM VP8515 and VP8525 MT-CVD series of inserts. Both are being developed to augment the existing VP8535 grade and provide a complete range of turning capabilities for 304 and 316 stainless steels, Inconel and heat resistant alloys. The VP8515 is for finishing operations and the VP8525 is used for general duty semi-roughing/finishing. The existing VP8535 is for heavy metal removal tasks and roughing operations.
The VP8515 grade is set for high cutting speed (>200 m/min) at typical finishing
cut depths and has broad applicability with F5, M4, M6, M8, PM2, PM5 geometries. This grade is ideal for continuous turning of austenitic and duplex stainless steels at higher speeds providing reliable and predictable performance, with extended insert service life. Inserts using VP8515 grade have a thin yellow TiN outer coating for easy visual wear identification, an Al2O3 layer for thermal protection, a fine MT-CVD TiCN coating that helps to prevent flaking and reduces flank wear. Also incorporated in the tooling is a gradient area for added surface toughness, and a hard substrate offering greater resistance to wear and plastic deformation.
The TiCN/Al2O3/TiN coating is formulated specifically for turning of stainless steels and to resist sticking, notch wear and edge build-up, for enhanced hardness when hot.
The VP8525’s performance characteristics deliver high cutting speeds (>150 m/min) with mid- to large cutting depths…inserts have M4, M6, M8, R9, PM4, PM5 geometries to cover a myriad of cutting parameters. This grade is a basic choice for general duty M-class turning—continuous or intermittent cutting of austenitic and duplex stainless steels. These tools reduce the risk of plastic deformation and, like the VP8515, provide reliable performance and extended tool life. The VP8525 grade has similar coating technologies, layering and substrate construction as the finishing grade, including the TiCN/Al2O3/TiN coating for the efficient turning of stainless steels.
——————————–
Valenite, continuing its extensive product development programs, has introduced the new VP8515 and VP8525 tooling grades…engineered for high speed, high productivity turning operations for finishing and semi-finishing 304 & 316 stainless steels, Inconel, and heat resistant alloys.

GC4225 – the next generation of high-performing first choice insert for general steel turning
GC4225 from Sandvik Coromant represents the next generation of P25 grades to enhance machining performance in the general steel turning area.
Over the past few years, Sandvik Coromant has carried out extensive R&D to establish the new P25 grade, GC4225, which is the next insert generation to make the general steel-turning area even broader, more productive and more reliable.
A multi-talented insert grade for steel turning
In general steel turning everything varies. The steel material varies from un-alloyed to high-alloyed bar-material through to various forgings and castings. The type of operation varies from rough to finish turning with conditions ranging from good to difficult.
GC4225 has an improved capacity to adapt to variations in workpiece material and operational demands towards the tougher end of applications, thus providing more versatility. The new black and yellow grade provides a new potential for increasing productivity through higher cutting data, backed up by improved reliability.
