ISCAR Grades
ISCAR’s innovative and proven grades for a variety of applications include:
PVD coated IC882 for hard machining conditions
CVD coated IC5820 for milling with pinpointed high-pressure coolant supply
- Chocolate-color carbide grades for cutting titanium, high-temperature alloys, and stainless steel
- Post coating treatment ensures increased resistance to chipping, notch wear, and built-up edge formation, for longer tool life
IC5500 with multi-layer CVD coating and post-coating treatment
- Prolongs tool life in hole making operations
- Applications for some milling applications, e.g. round inserts in cutters for machining 3D surfaces such as blades in turbomachinery
PVD coated carbide IC806
- Designed especially for turning high-temperature superalloys
- Special applications in the aerospace industry
PVD coated carbide IC1010 and IC1030 for inserts from the TANG-GRIP and DO-GRIP families, for machining stainless steel and steel:
- IC1010 is a hard submicron grade for parting and grooving with high cutting speeds
- IC1030 is a tough grade for interrupted cut and unstable machining conditions
SUMOTEC grades for rough and heavy duty turning operations feature a special post-coating treatment for better tool life and reliability:
- Improved toughness and chipping resistance
- Reduced friction and built-up edge
- Golden-colored flank facilitates wear detection
