Sandvik Coromant introduces two new grades of CoroMill® Plura HD solid-end mills which are designed to increase productivity without compromising tool life or process security. They feature the unique Zertivo™ 2.0 coating, which combines world-class productivity with exceptional metal removal rate and the highest possible process security.
CoroMill® Plura HD is Sandvik Coromant’s optimized solution for heavy-duty applications in steel and stainless steel up to 2×D. The new Zertivo™ 2.0 coated grades further improve tool life, process security, and productivity. “With Zertivo™ 2.0, we apply our comprehensive knowledge in coating technologies to our solid round tools,” says Antti Wikström, Global Product Manager, Solid end mills at Sandvik Coromant.
The new grades allow for 30% higher cutting speed recommendations in primary application areas ISO P and ISO M, as well as secondary materials ISO K and ISO S, due to their optimized flute shape, which provides effective chip evacuation. The grades designed for stainless steel machining come in two variants: one with internal coolant for improved temperature control and chip flow, and one without internal coolant.
The standard assortment offers diameters from 2–25 mm, a 2×D depth of cut, 4 to 5 teeth, and a ramping angle at 5° or 7°. Tailor Made® options are available within the Customized solutions range.
