The Sumitomo AC6020M is a high-performance Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coated carbide grade specifically engineered for high-speed, high-efficiency turning of Stainless Steel. It is designed to handle continuous to light-interrupted cutting conditions (covering the ISO M05 to M25 application range), offering an optimal balance between wear resistance and substrate toughness.
Key Technologies & Features
Absotech Platinum Coating: Employs Sumitomo's proprietary CVD coating technology that dramatically reduces the internal stress of the coating layer. This enhances coating adhesion and provides superior resistance against chipping and peeling.
Advanced Multi-Layer Composition: Features a high-hardness, fine-grained TiCN layer for severe wear resistance combined with a high-toughness alumina (Al2O3) layer to protect against high heat deformation.
Surface Smoothing Treatment: The specialized post-coat surface treatment prevents workpiece material from adhering to the cutting edge, reducing the risk of built-up edge (BUE) failures.
Extended Tool Life: Compared to older legacy grades (like AC610M), the AC6020M series delivers up to 1.5x better wear resistance and up to double the tool life under optimal parameters.
Note: All AC6020M inserts are sold in packs of 10 pieces.
