Tungaloy is introducing a coated cermet grade, AT9530 for steel turning applications. The new AT9530 grade incorporates Tungaloy’s unique multi-layered coating technology and special post-surface treatment PremiumTec. This combination provides superior resistance to wear and fracture for improved productivity in finishing of steel during high speed machining.
The grade offers remarkable wear resistance particularly in alloy steel turning, thus making it the first choice grade for that material application range. This latest addition complements the existing NS9530 and GT9530 cermet grades to enhance their application ranges and productivity.
The new AT9530 grade is available with the –TSF and –PS style chipbreakers, the first choice chipbreakers for steel turning, in standard ISO turning inserts as well as ISO-EcoTurn inserts. A total of 111 items are introduced to cover a range of applications.

Well-balanced wear and fracture resistance thanks to special multi-layered (Ti,Al)N based coating
PremiumTec special post-surface treatment technology for machining stability
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
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 operation and other variables.

DrillMeister features simple and swift drill head indexing due to its self-clamping system. Tool replacement is easy: just replace the drill head. There is no need to remove the entire drill body from the toolholder and re-adjust the tool overhang, thus reducing a large amount of tool change time.
Tungaloy Corp. further expands its indexable-insert gundrill line, DeepTriDrill, with options down to a diameter range of 14-15.9 mm. Deep-hole drilling is a challenging operation and often creates a bottleneck in holemaking shops around the globe.
Tungaloy Corp. has expanded the TungTurn-Jet line, the turning tool system with high-pressure coolant capability. Until now, coolant was simply applied by flooding the cutting area, which can cause chips generated during machining to interfere with the coolant flow, preventing it from reaching the…
Tungaloy Corp. added threading inserts with sharp cutting edges to its TetraMini-Cut insert series, which allows undercutting and finishing of a flange wall. Complemented by the new PVD grade, SH725, TetraMini-Cut’s new threading insert features sharp cutting edges, making it suitable for cutting…
Tungaloy America Inc. offers the DuoJustCut parting tool for Swiss-style lathes. The clamping system rigidly clamps inserts, and the optimized overhang length delivers stable and productive machining, according to the company.
DoTwistBall from Tungaloy America is an ideal tool for die and mold, as well as general engineering. Combined with a rigid clamping mechanism, the insert’s unique twisted shape improves chip evacuation for stable machining and long tool life in roughing operations.
Tungaloy Corp. introduces TungTri-Shred, a new shoulder milling cutter for highly productive machining. With today’s dramatic growth in the performance of machine tools, high-speed machining is often the first choice for manufacturers.
DoMini-Mill is a copy mill developed for semifinishing operations, featuring Tungaloy’s latest H-class insert. The economical six-cornered insert with dovetail clamp technology has a double-sided geometry, yet positive flanks, providing sharpness and high cutting edge strength simultaneously.
Tungaloy Corp. offers MillQuadFeed, a new high-feed milling cutter. With a depth of cut up to 0.098” (2.5mm) and a feed rate up to 0.078” (2.0mm) per tooth, MillQuadFeed accomplishes astounding metal-removal rates in rough milling operation, according to the company.
DoTriple-Mill is Tungaloy’s latest facemilling cutter, featuring an innovative dovetail clamping system that will reportedly dramatically reduce insert lift up and excessive shear force imposed on the screws during heavy-duty milling. Compared with the last generation of facemilling platforms,…
