GC100SX / K40XF

10% grade for drilling, end milling, and tapping. High hardness and toughness. Increased tensile strength for cutting-edge stability.

10% grade for drilling, end milling, and tapping. Increased wear resistance while maintaining a high toughness K1c value. Capable of running in Ti alloys, HRSA materials, austenitic stainless steels, grey cast iron, and CFRP materials.

Our toughest 10% grade for drilling and end milling demanding applications in materials <45 HRC, carbon steels, stainless steels, Ti and Ni alloys. Lower speeds but higher feeds and interrupted cutting conditions.
