Seco makes CP200 grade for parting-off, grooving

SINGAPORE - To further increase the versatility of this proven PVD product, the company has now made it available for MDT (multi-directional turning) applications.
While primarily intended for superalloys, including Inconel, Hastelloy and Waspaloy, as well as high-strength
steels, the new CP200 for MDT is also highly productive when cutting cast iron with low hardness and
martensitic stainless steels. The latest inserts feature an optimised micrograin and sharp, periphery-ground
cutting edge that allows them to excel in high-speed operations and maintain a high resistance to plastic

deformation.

In general, the CP200 grade complements Seco’s uncoated 883 grade, and can be paired with the
company’s Jetstream Tooling? to further enhance chip control, productivity, surface finish and overall
component quality. Jetstream Tooling delivers high-pressure coolant directly to the cutting edge to remove
heat from the cutting zone and facilitate higher cutting speeds.
The CP200 range includes three chipbreaker options: FT for fine turning and deep grooving; MP for medium
turning, profiling and grooving with good accessibility; and RP for fine and medium turning, profiling and
grooving. Furthermore, the grade is offered in single and double-ended inserts and in cutting edge widths
from 3 mm to 10 mm (0.125” to 0.25”).
