Milling Grades
Stellram offers the following grades for milling.

Coated Grades - X-Grade® Technology
Grade X400

Also coated with TiAIN by PVD, X400 is a high performance grade with a high level of toughness and high wear resistant, thin layer PVD coating, for use in demanding conditions of high metal removal rates or interrupted cuts. This grade allows high levels of cutting pressure and offers increased security of the cutting edge. For use on low and medium carbon steels, tool steels and hardened steel (52-56 HRc).

(US Patent #7,244,519)

Grade X500 
Coated with TiN-TiC-TiN by CVD. Coating thickness 3-5 microns It has almost the same application range as PFZ. The grade X500 is different because of its improved edge toughness. For use in difficult conditions on exotic alloys and low cutting speeds. X500 also contains Ruthenium.
New!! Grade X700 

X700 is the newest addition to ATI Stellram’s X-Grade™ Technology milling cutter inserts.

X700 grade inserts are coated with TiAlN by PVD and are designed for milling stainless steel, aermet 100 and titanium alloys while generating lower pressure and stress during machining operations. In these difficult to machine materials it is most suited for high cutting speed and low cutting feed.

(US Patent #7,244,519)

     

Coated Grades
Grade MP91M 
TiN-MT TiCN-Al2O3 by CVD
Coating thickness 4-7 microns
For use on steel, alloyed steel and cast iron. With its aluminum oxide coating, the grade MP91M is recommended every time wear characteristics are more important than toughness.
Grade PFZ 
Coated with TiN-TiC-TiN by CVD. Coating thickness 3-5 microns For use on steel, alloyed steel and stainless steel, with or without coolant With coolant, PFZ performs well when milling titanium or nickel based alloys, and ductile iron.
Grade SC3025
CVD coated grade for milling of cast irons. 
Excellent wear and abrasion resistance for extended tool life.

Case Study Case Study: Grade SC3025
Grade SFZ 
Micrograin carbide with TiN PVD coating. For operations requiring a sharp edge condition.
 
Grade SP1064 
Micrograin carbide with TiAlN and lubricity layer PVD coating. For semi-finish and finish machining. Ideal for ball nose cutters at higher surface speeds, or for greater wear resistance
Grade SP4036 
Micrograin carbide with multi-layer TiAlN PVD coating. It has a lower friction coefficient and a lower cutting energy during finishing. The sharper cutting edge reduces the built-up edge damage and gives the work pieces an excellent surface finish. Recommended for alloyed steel and grey, spheroidal, nodular, malleable and compacted graphite cast iron at higher speeds.
Grade SP6564 

Carbide coated with TiAlN and lubricity layer PVD coating. It has a lower friction coefficient and a lower cutting energy during finishing. The sharper cutting edge reduces the built-up edge damage and gives the work pieces an excellent surface finish. Recommended for stainless steel and iron, in either higher speed or dry machining applications.

Uncoated Grades
Grade SF30
A tough grade intended for milling of steel, alloyed steel and stainless steel. The grade SF30 works well with or without coolant.
Grade X44
Grade containing Ruthenium for use on steel and alloyed steel. The grade X44 is recommended where toughness is more important than wear. Application area: Alloyed steel.
Grade GH1 Micrograin 

Micrograin grade designed for use on cast iron, hardened steel (52 to 60 HRc) and also, bronzes, aluminum's, Kevlar, etc. The grade GH1 works well with or without coolant. Coolant is recommended for machining of hardened steel.
