Offering excellent wear resistance while ensuring operational reliability and accuracy. The T8010 has enhanced plastic deformation resistance, which provides a stable cutting-edge prolonging durability. The New Pramet T8010 allows for high cutting speeds resulting in high productivity.

A gold finish on the insert provides a simple wear indicator, while a hard substrate and PVD coating has been optimized to deal with interior residual stress, helping to improve tool life.

Glossary terms in this article

  • plastic deformation
    Permanent (inelastic) distortion of metals under applied stresses that strain the material beyond its elastic limit.
  • residual stress
    Stress present in a body that is free of external forces or thermal gradients.
  • wear resistance
    Ability of the tool to withstand stresses that cause it to wear during cutting; an attribute linked to alloy composition, base material, thermal conditions, type of tooling and ope…
  • superalloys
    Tough, difficult-to-machine alloys; includes Hastelloy, Inconel and Monel. Many are nickel-base metals.
