Seco: Insert Grades
Seco has released three insert grades TP2501, TP1501 and TP0501, for steel turning with Duratomic coating technology to provide improved toughness, heat resistance and chemical inertness. This lengthens tool life and offers the potential for higher cutting speeds.
TP2501 suits a variety of workpiece material requirements and unpredictable working conditions with its highly secure edge toughness behaviour. TP1501 is well-balanced and suits applications requiring high wear resistance in low-alloy steel workpieces. TP0501 provides high wear resistance and cutting speeds, and suits stable machining conditions and situations requiring high output.
The TP grades also feature used-edge detection that do not impact tool performance, yet allows machinists to quickly and accurately identify used edges with the naked eye.
