Both grades offer higher productivity and consistent, repeatable performance during roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new grades feature High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (High-PIMS) technology that provides a smoother insert surface and optimal layer adhesion for less flank wear \u2013 one of the leading causes of insert failure,\u201d says Gil Getz, Product Manager, Kennametal. He notes that the new coating technology also increases cutting edge strength. \u201cThe result is high-performance milling in a broad range of cast iron alloys, including grey cast iron, ductile cast iron, and compacted graphite cast iron.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18241\" src=\"https:\/\/mfgtechupdate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/54601_FlankWear_Group.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mfgtechupdate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/54601_FlankWear_Group.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mfgtechupdate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/54601_FlankWear_Group-300x112.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"223\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flank wear comparison: KCK20B on the left and another grade on the right.

These include rotor hubs used in windmills, pump housings, steering knuckles and gear housings for heavy equipment, and automotive components like crankshafts and cylinder heads. While KCK20B delivers higher productivity in roughing and semi-finishing operations, KCKP10 is applicable for finishing operations, but also works exceptionally well when profiling and copy milling cast iron and steels up to 45HRC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor customers where high tooling cost and downtime associated with tool changes are especially important, KCK20B and KCKP10 grades promise to increase tool life tremendously,\u201d says Getz. \u201cAnd for those who wish to increase throughput, the new grades deliver there as well.
