Indexable Milling Grade Provides Thermal Fatigue Resistance
Kennametal’s KCSM40 indexable milling grade has an cobalt binder that provides thermal fatigue resistance and a proprietary AlTiN/TiN coating that enhances the wear resistance at the cutting edge.
Kennametal Inc.’s KCSM40 indexable milling grade has an cobalt binder that provides thermal fatigue resistance. In addition to the material substrate, Kennametal’s proprietary AlTiN/TiN coating enhances the wear resistance at the cutting edge, the company says.
The milling grade has results milling titanium at speeds up to 270 SFM (85 m/min.) at a lower radial depth of cut. According to the company, the KCSM40 is a grade that aligns with Kennametal’s market segments like aerospace (aero structure and engine components), energy (turbine blades and parts made from duplex stainless steels) and transportation (turbo chargers).
