TaeguTec has now launched its new TT6080 series of milling inserts for the milling of gray and nodular cast iron. This next generation of milling inserts covers the application range of both the existing TT6030 and TT6060 TaeguTec grades whilst delivering enhanced performance benefits for the end user.
This exciting new grade reduces costs, increases tool life and enhances productivity; delivering exceptional benefits and cost reductions for the customer. This grade will eventually replace its two predecessors. TaeguTec’s grades for machining cast iron will now come in two different types – the new TT6080 grade for machining both plain cast iron and nodular cast iron and the TT6290 for gray cast iron machining.
Compared to the existing TT6030 and TT6060 grades, the TT6080 has a wider application range catering for a more diverse material composition from ductile to gray cast iron – machining both at higher speed and feed rates. The innovative new TT6080 offers improved wear resistance and chipping resistance compared its predecessors with a TIN coating on a new AlTiN layer that has excellent adhesion to the substrate. The benefit to the end user is a tool life improvement that ranges from 30 to 100% improvement when machining gray and ductile cast irons.
Many of the standard inserts in the new TT6080 range utilise TaeguTec’s T-Mill Plus (TMP) technology. TMP is a specialised coating process that increases tool life, enhances swarf removal and reduces friction to prevent built up edges. The full range of TT6080 milling inserts will gradually be produced with the new TMP technology incorporated.
