Application |
P
Steel, steel
castings and long chipping malleable cast iron. |
P10 |
|
SB10 |
For ordinary and
tracer turning at high speeds and with medium
chip section; also for thread chasign |
| P20 |
SB20 |
For turning with
medium speeds and chip sections; also with varying
depths of cut and peeling |
| P30 |
SB30 |
For rough turning
under severe conditions, such as greatly varying
depths of cut, sand inclusions, and shrinkage
cavites, for planing and wheel set machining |
P40
P50 |
SB40 |
For planing of
steel an steel castings and soft cast iron. Also
for rough turning at low speeds and with large
chip sections under unfavorable working conditions
and for interrupted cuts. |
M
Steel,
steel casting and austenitic manganese and austenitic
steels, free cutting steels alloy casts iron. |
M10 |
|
EB10 |
Machining of steel
grey and malleable cast iron, at high speeds and
with small to medium chip sections. The machining
of alloy grey cast iron involves less cratering
compared to group K grades. |
| M20 |
EB20 |
Turning at medium
speeds and with medium chip sections. For steel
and steel castings, austenitic manganese and austenitic
grades and grey. Alloyed nodular and malleable
cast iron |
| M30 |
EB30 |
Turning and
planing at low, speeds and with large chip sections.
Ideally suited for machinig of austenitic steel
calling for small Wedge angles when working
under severe conditions. For steel and steel
castings, free cutting steels, austenitic steels,
high temperature steels and alloys |
| M40
|
EB40 |
Turning at low
cutting speeds and under severe conditions. Suitable
for automatic and turret lathe service; outstanding
toughness affords cutting geometry similar to
high speed steel |
K
Grey, chilled
and short chipping malleable cast iron, hardened
steels non-ferrous metal plastics rock and wood |
K01
K10 |
|
HB10S |
Finish
turning and boring of chilled cast iron, hardened
steel AL-Si alloy, non-ferrous metals, plastics,
glass, porcelain, ebonite and the like also for
the scraping and reaming of steel and grey cast
iron of high hardness. |
| K10 |
HB10 |
Turning of grey
and chilled cast iron, steel below 500 N/mm2
tensile strenght, non-ferrous metals, glass, porcelain,
rock, plastics, natural wood, laminated wood and
compress. Grooving of chilled cast iron rolls,
and turning of hardened steel. A standard grade
for drilling, countersinking, reaming and precision
machining of steel on automatic lathes |
| K20 |
HB20 |
For turning
jobs requiring higher toughness than HB10. Standard
grade for planing of grey cast iron and for
rock drilling. |
| K30 |
HB30 |
Rough turning
at low speed and with large chip sections, under
poor working conditions and for interrupted cuts.
Planing slotting, and drilling of austenitic manganese
steel. Also for woodworking |
| K40
|
HB40 |
For woodworking
on natural wood, laminated wood and compregs.
For turning and planing slotting under unfovorable
conditions. |
