End Mill Grade Features Advanced Wear, Oxidation Resistance
Moldmakers can expect easier wear identification and longer machining capabilities using Kennametal’s latest KCSM15A solid carbide end mills.
Kennametal Inc. has added an efficient new cutting tool to its portfolio of solid carbide end mills, featuring enhanced wear and oxidation resistance. It is designed with a distinctive PVD coating technology that is reported to deliver extended tool life for job shops machining stainless steel, titanium and other high-temperature alloys for aerospace, energy, transportation, mold and die and general engineering industries.
The KCSM15A solid end milling grade features a new copper color design for easier wear identification, enabling improved tool life observation and reconditioning management. Enhanced process stability and minimized edge buildup allows the KCSM15A to level up a moldmaker’s machining operations, according to the company.
Available platforms include Harvi III, Harvi III Aerospace, Harvi II Long and RSM II.
