Available INNOT grades
| Grade | ISO | Coating | Composition | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT5225 ★ | P · M · S | PVD | Multilayer PVD | First-choice grade for threading: steels, stainless steels and superalloys, excellent resistance to profile wear. |
| IT5125 | P · M · S | PVD | Multilayer PVD | Tough grade for threading in unstable conditions and interrupted cuts on steels, stainless steels and superalloys. |
★ Recommended grade. On request also CVD grades for steels and cast irons, uncoated carbide for aluminium and cermet for finishing.
Tips for use
- Decreasing depth of cut: lighter passes as you approach the thread root.
- Flank infeed (modified infeed at 3–5° on the flank) for better chip control and longer insert life.
- Choose the shim according to the thread helix angle: flanks that do not rub and a correct profile.
