The Sumitomo AC6030M is a high-performance, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coated carbide grade designed as the primary "first choice" for general-purpose turning of stainless steel (ISO M-class materials). It is engineered specifically to overcome the common challenges of machining stainless steel, such as work hardening, built-up edge adhesion, and thermal cracking.
Key Technologies & Features
Absotech Platinum Coating: Utilises Sumitomo Electric's proprietary CVD coating technology featuring a highly protective titanium boride (TiB2) outermost surface layer. This micro-structure delivers twice the anti-chipping resistance compared to conventional coatings.
Advanced Multi-Layer Architecture: Combines a high-hardness, fine-grained TiCN layer for extreme wear resistance with a high-toughness alumina (Al2O3) layer to combat thermal cracking and ensure long, stable tool life.
Edge Smoothing Treatment: The cutting edges undergo a specialized surface smoothing process that prevents chips from welding or adhering to the tool, significantly decreasing adhesion-induced micro-chipping.
Note: All AC6030M inserts are sold in packs of 10 pieces.
