GRADE CHARACTERISTICS |
| C1 |
Straight Tungsten |
Heavy-duty roughing to extremely heavy-duty roughing of cast irons, 200 and 300 series stainless steels, a broad varity of high temperatures, high strength alloys. Intended for severe applications at relatively low cutting speed. |
Excellence resistance to mechanical shock. Excellent toughness, with medium to low abrasion resistance and low resistance to cratering. |
| C2 |
Straight Tungsten Carbide |
Light roughing to heavy-duty roughing on nodular malleable, gray and chilled cast iron, 200 and 300 series stainless steels, a broad variety of high temperatures, high strength alloys. Intended for severe applications at relatively low cutting speed. |
Good abrasive resistance and excellent toughness. Low resitance to cratering. Very good resistance to thermal shock. |
| C3 |
Complex Tungsten Carbide |
Finishing to light roughing over a broad variety of cast irons. |
Good resistance to abrasion. Medium toughness. |
C5
C6 |
Complex Tungsten Carbide |
Medium roughing to extremely heavy-duty roughing over a broad variety of plain carbon steels, allow steels, tool steels, free machining steels, the 400 and 500 series stainless steels and alloy cast irons. |
Excellent resistance to thermo-mechanical shock with medium abrasive resistance. |
| C7 |
Complex Tungsten Carbide |
Light roughing to medium roughing over a broad variety of plain carbon steels, alloys steels, free machining steels, tool steels, the 400 and 500 series stainless steels and alloy cast irons. |
Excellent resistance to both temperature crater and deformation. Medium to low toughness with medium to good abrasion resistance. |
| C8 |
Complex Tungsten Carbide |
Finishing to light roughing over a broad variety of plain carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, free matching steels, and 400 and 500 series stainless steels. |
