VP20RT, a New Insert Grade for the APX3000 Multi-Functional Cutter Series
May 02, 2005
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently developed and manufactured a new insert grade, VP20RT, for the APX3000 series of indexable milling cutters. This new range of inserts will start to be sold by Mitsubishi Materials Tools Corporation (President: Osamu Takata, Headquarters: 1-6-1 Yokoami, Sumida-ku, Tokyo).
The innovative APX3000 end
mill series, launched in October 2004, originally designed to achieve a high level of
the three main factors necessary for efficient machining—low cutting resistance,
high fracture resistance and long tool life, has so far been successful in the market.
The range of inserts for the APX3000 has now been expanded with a new MIRACLE coated
grade, VP20RT, that offers long tool life for milling of stainless steels and other materials
that tend to work harden when machined.Key features of VP20RT coated inserts for the APX3000 are as follows.
- 1.
- Use of a specially developed cemented carbide substrate that provides superior resistance to fracture and thermal cracking.
- 2.
- MIRACLE coating, popular for high wear and oxidation resistance and high adhesion strength.
- 3.
- A combination of the substrate and the coating achieves long tool life, especially when machining stainless steels.
- Product name:
- 4 different geometries, VP20RT coated inserts
