Crystallizing a New Approach to Today’s Tungsten Carbide Turning Needs

Engineering productive and profitable tungsten carbide turning operations for common but demanding steel materials, such as the ISO P25 material classification, is a challenge. Steel workpiece materials in this category are found in a range of applications—from automotive parts to heavy-duty fasteners to aerospace components. Many of these parts are made in high volumes.

Sandvik Coromant, has been focusing on promising developments in tungsten carbide turning insert technology specifically targeted to P25 turning applications. The result of these development efforts—a new grade of tungsten carbide turning inserts for P25 steels—is already in the hands of selected U.S. manufacturers as part of the company’s final field testing and evaluation procedures. The new grade is designated GC4325.

One of these manufacturers, GKN Walterscheid in Woodridge, Illinois, reports a significant gain in productivity with this tungsten carbide insert grade. In one test, these inserts outlasted previous insert choices by 50 percent. (Sandvik Coromant indicates that these results are typical for the entire test group, which includes numerous shops in the United States and Europe.)
