Performance
GC4325 vs. GC4425
Tests conducted: Thermal intermittence (mechanical damage), basic toughness and wear resistance.
Result:
- Improved wear resistance and toughness with GC4425
- The edge-line security test was stopped when GC4425 achieved 100% higher performance compared to GC4325
Time in cut = 40 min
Time in cut = 54 min
Tool wear comparison: The crater wear limited the tool life. The dashed line indicates the position of the flank wear on the primary cutting edge.
