Valenite's New Stainless Steel Turning Grades
We have recently extended our stainless steel turning insert line. These products are currently available on a limited basis, with full availability during summer of '07. Additions to this line include:

   Two new grades: VP8515 and VP8525
  • One new chipbreaker: M4


1) New Grade VP8515- First choice for finishing operations with continuous       cutting.
   High cutting speed (>200m/min) with small cutting depths
   Broad insert program includes the new M4 geometry combined with the existing:     F5, M6, M8, PM2, PM5

Valenite VP8515

VP8515 Characteristics:
   MT-CVD type fine yellow coating. Thin (TiCN/Al203/TiN) specific to turning of     stainless steels.
  • Excellent sticking and built-up edge resistance.
  • Reduction of flaking phenomenon
  • Great hardness when hot and great wear resistance owing to a hard subsrate.
  • Great resistance to notch wear.

VP8515 Advantages:

  • Continuous turning of stainless steels at high speed.
  • Reliable performances.
  • Extended insert service life.
  • Greater productivity.
  • Excellent results in austenitic and duplex stainless steels.


2) New Grade VP8525 - Priority choice for roughing operations with       continuous or interrupted cutting.
   High cutting speed (>150m/min) with large cutting depths
   Complete program of inserts with new M4 geometry combined with the existing      program: M6, M8, R9, PM4 and PM5.

Valenite VP8525

VP8525 Characteristics:

   MT-CVD type fine yellow coating.
   TiCN/Al203/TiN specific to turning of stainless steels.
   Excellent sticking and built-up edge resistance.
   Reduction of flaking phenomenon
   Good toughness and excellent resistance to plastic deformation, owing to a      specific substrate
   Great resistance to notch wear.

VP8525 Advantages:
   Turning in continuous or intermittent cutting of stainless steels at high speed      without risk of plastic deformation.
   Reliable performances.
   Extended insert service life.
   Greater productivity.
   Best choice in class M.
