Igetalloy
Grades Carbide (Carbide for Cutting Tools)
Igetalloy carbides have a solid history and a wide variety of grades to suit many different
applications. They are widely used and appreciated for their superior performance.
A The Igetalloy line-up consists of a variety of characteristics that correspond to the uses of the tools. This is possible by varying the
components: the WC structure (the main component) and the additives amounts such as TiC, TaC, and Co (the binder).
Grades
The wide selection of Igetalloy grades provide excellent wear resistance and toughness in various cutting conditions.

SUMIBORON Series
Grades CBN Coated SUMIBORON Series
High hardness and heat resistance for cutting high hardness steel and
hard cast iron. Long tool life with high-speed finishing of grey cast iron.
A In 1977, Sumitomo Electric successfully developed a revolutionary CBN sintered tool - SUMIBORON. The main component in
SUMIBORON is Cubic Boron Nitride with a special ceramic binder sintered under super high pressure and temperature.
Grades
As compared to other conventional tool materials, CBN has higher hardness and excellent heat resistance.
With these distinct characteristics, SUMIBORON can perform machining of hardened steel, high hardness cast iron and
exotic metals where previously only grinding was done. Furthermore, excellent efficiency and longer tool life can also be
achieved from high speed machining of cast irons.
