P-Series and U-Series Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Lines
P-Series PCD is specially designed for tools used in machining nonferrous and nonmetallic workpieces for automotive, aerospace, electronics and other precision applications that demand consistent performance and long-term cost savings. U-Series PCD is explicitly designed for tools used in machining nonferrous and nonmetallic workpieces in woodworking, heavy machinery, and other utility applications
SG3P Carbide Grade
The SG3P carbide grade also enables shorter cycle times for thread production thanks to higher cutting values, including when processing materials that are difficult to machine. In addition, the combination of an ultra-fine grain carbide powder and the high temperature resistant coating results in high process reliability and better component quality. The carbide grade is available for all standard Horn thread whirling systems. Furthermore, in-house coating enables fast delivery times.
Carbide Grade IG3
IG3 when compared to previous generation offerings sets the new benchmark for tool life and machine time efficiency. IG3 offers similar performance to our previous standard, TH3, while in some instances increasing tool life beyond twice that of TH3. Making it a fantastic drop-in replacement in established processes.
Thin Dense Chrome Plating
The Iosso-FE process increases the hardness of the surface up to 72 R.C. and significantly increases the base metal life expectancy. The FE process provides smooth and consistent results, free from hydrogen faults, cracks, or blisters. You should also not expect any peeling, flaking, or spalling with our process. We provide one of the safest and most durable plating processes in the market, which is Rohs compliant and TCHP compliant.
