Sandvik Coromant has extended its insert geometries for the CoroMill® 311, expanding the list of suitable applications for the milling cutter. The latest additions include two new light cutting, periphery-ground geometries for radius inserts, which will suit applications in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
The -M30 will be available for size 11 inserts, with radius dimensions from 1.5 to 3.0 mm, and is characterized by its light cutting action. Grade availability includes GC1130, GC1020, GC3040, and the latest GC4330 steel milling grade.
The -L50 geometry has also been launched, which is intended for aerospace component, and oil and gas component machining. The -L50 is offered for size 11 inserts with radius dimensions from 3.0 mm to 6.3 mm, with light cutting action also being the principal attribute of the tough and sharp -L50 geometry, making it suitable for materials such as stainless steel, nickel-based super alloys, and titanium. Optimized for use in good operating conditions and heavy application areas, the available grade options are GC1040, GC2040 and S30T.
