LMT TeraSpeed sets new speed record for machining cast material
How about a combination of extremely high cutting speeds and extremely low wear and tear? The new TERAspeed coating for LMT indexable inserts does just that, allowing users to benefit from record cutting speeds and tool life in the machining of cast materials. This innovation offers a dramatic increase in cost-effectiveness as a result of a major breakthrough in coating technology. LMT TERAspeed is the world’s first AlTiN coating to be deposited using a CVD process. The inserts will become available in July.
The demands that are being made on machining tools are steadily increasing all the time: on one hand, new, challenging materials are being introduced and, on the other, there is a trend toward minimal lubrication or dry machining, both of which result in higher tool temperatures than wet processing.
