Expansion of grade VP15TF by 43 inserts

---

Use grade VP15TF for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron and, most importantly, heat resistant alloys

---

• VP15TF features (Al,Ti)N coating with greatly increased heat resistance and adhesion strength
• Substrate is grade TF15, a micro-grain alloy with high wear resistance and toughness
• Use when roughing parts where impact resistant is paramount
• High transverse rupture strength
• Above average hardness of 91.5 (HRA)
• Available in chipbreakers, such as FJ, MJ, MS and GJ, suitable for machining heat resistant alloys

• Heat resistant alloys
• Stainless steel
• Cast Iro
• Steel
• Use when roughing parts where impact resistant is paramount

• Machine heat resistant alloys at maximum production rate
• Withstand high impacts when work piece engagement is interrupted by slots, holes and gaps
• VP coating oxidizes at higher temperature than TiN and (TiAl)N PVD coatings allowing higher cutting speeds
