CN--1204-AC8020P

Sumitomo's AC8020P is a high-efficiency, multi-layered CVD-coated carbide insert grade designed specifically for steel turning operations. Introduced as part of the AC8000P series, this grade bridges the gap between high-speed continuous machining and heavily interrupted cutting by focusing on high-strength wear resistance.

Core Technologies & Features

Enhanced Alumina Layer: Features a heavily strengthened Al2O3 (alumina) coating that significantly suppresses chipping and crater wear during high-load operations.

Mill-Scale and Forged Material Specialist: It excels at peeling tough outer mill-scale on forged materials or high-carbon steels where cross-sections or surface conditions vary widely.

Gold-Coloured Indicator Layer: The outer coating includes a gold surface finish designed to make used cutting edges instantly identifiable in dark or automated CNC environments.

Unmanned Operation Stability: Engineered with specialized adhesion-resistant surface treatments to ensure reliable, predictable tool life, decreasing unexpected tool fractures during automated shifts.

Note: All AC8020P inserts are sold in packs of 10 pieces.
