Sandvik, a developer and manufacturer of products in advanced stainless steels and special alloys, will be launching new generation Sanmac® in September, offering a stainless steel material which can significantly increase machining rates.
Year on year Sandvik Research & Development has applied and tested process improvements upgrading the melt of Sanmac material. The result is the introduction of new generation Sanmac, a dedicated stainless steel material available in a range of grades that not only offer machinability at similar rates to carbon steel, but also exhibit excellent chip breaks and have consistent machinability from heat to heat and lot to lot. Thus greatly reducing operator set up times.
The company works in close collaboration with sister company Sandvik Coromant, developing stainless bar and hollow bar materials concentrating on enhanced machining capabilities, such as increased speeds, improved component finishes and consistently longer tool life.
