YG-1’s First-Choice Grade for Steel Turning Applications
YG-1 has introduced a new CVD turning grade, YG3125, engineered for steel machining. Combining a specially developed substrate with advanced coating technology, YG3125 is positioned as a reliable choice for users who are seeking enhanced productivity in steel turning applications.
The YG3125 grade features a substrate that delivers excellent toughness and wear resistance, significantly extending tool life. The optimized WC size and binder content result in a well-balanced structure between hardness and toughness, allowing the insert to withstand high heat during machining. In addition, enhanced coating technology improves wear resistance and further extends tool life.
YG-1’s surface treatment amplifies these benefits and contributes to superior surface finishes and smooth chip evacuation. Its distinctive shiny gold appearance improves visibility of wear on used edges.
Key Advantages
- Designed for general steel turning applications
- Well-balanced wear resistance and toughness
- Suitable for mass production through stable and predictable tool life
- Minimizes built-up edge formation in mild steel, low carbon steel, and low carbon alloy steel due to the new post-treatment
- Delivers excellent surface finish on the workpiece
- Effective in both continuous and interrupted cuts
Target Applications
- High-production environments such as automotive components and general engineering requiring steel machining
- Suitable for automated mass production with consistent tool life
