What’s new?
GC1205 and GC1210
GC1205 and GC1210 are the most recently developed grades for machining aged nickel-based HRSA materials. With the latest technology of substrate and coatings, these grades have the ability to withstand wear, leading to high productivity gains for your aero-engine components.
Features and benefits
- A hard, very fine-grained substrate offers excellent flank and notch wear resistance
- Superior edge-line security contributes to a more consistent tool life
- Optimized cutting-edge integrity reduces flaking
- The combination of the hard substrate and PVD coatings allows for a significant increase in cutting speed (GC1205) and tool life (GC1210)
S205
S205 is a new chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grade developed for last stage machining applications with aerospace engine components in the area of HRSA turning.
S205 offers increased productivity through higher cutting speeds in semi-finishing and finishing applications, without compromising on tolerances and surface conformity.
Benefits of the S205 grade:
- 30-50% higher cutting speeds than the competition without compromising on tool life
- Higher cutting speed translates to improved productivity
- Excellent resistance to flank and adhesive wear, resulting in longer tool life

CC6160
SiAlON-based ceramic is designed to optimize performance in nickel-based materials under relatively stable conditions and offer high security and predictable wear as a result of high notch resistance.
GC1205
PVD-coated carbide grade with good adhesion and flank wear resistance. The combination of hard substrate and coating allows significant increases in cutting speed.
CC6060
SiAlON-based ceramic for optimized performance in pre-machined materials under stable conditions.
S205
CVD-coated grade for high speed finishing in the cutting speed range between grade GC1205 and CBN grades.
CC675
Whisker-reinforced alumina-based ceramic with excellent bulk toughness designed for turning and grooving.
CC6165
SiAlON-based ceramic, optimized for machining difficult surfaces in heat resistant super alloys. Offers excellent toughness and security in operations demanding toughness.
GC1210
PVD-coated carbide grade with good crater wear resistance. Complements grade GC1205 when more toughness is required.
H13A (for titanium)
Uncoated carbide grade that combines good abrasive wear resistance and toughness for medium to rough turning of titanium alloys.
