In 2021, Metalworking Magazine launched the "Golden Feng Award" second cutting tool product innovation award selection activity. 52 domestic and foreign tool companies and 74 innovative tool products competed on the same stage, and the quality and scale of the participating products reached a new high. In the fierce competition, after the strict evaluation of users, experts, etc., the award-winning products stand out with solid and innovative technology.
Sandvik Coromant's new generation of steel turning grades gc4425 and gc4415 use the latest technology in every aspect, from powder manufacturing to post-treatment of coatings, which significantly improves steel turning performance.
gc4425 is the material of choice for steel turning and outperforms the competition in most steel turning applications. The new material's abrasion resistance, heat resistance and toughness have been improved, greatly expanding the range of applications.
When higher heat resistance is required, the material gc4415 can be used as a supplement to gc4425. It achieves high cutting speeds and long cutting times under stable machining conditions.
Take a look at the superior performance of gc4425 and gc4415 through the video.
