Mitsubishi Materials has launched a dedicated range of tool holders to complement the huge range of geometries and types available in the iMX series of solid carbide exchangeable end mills.

The popular MC6100 range of inserts has been expanded to include MC6135, a tough grade for applications ranging from continuous turning through to rough and interrupted cutting. This new grade will complement the existing range and provide end users a choice to machine a vast array of steels and of different applications. MC6135 utilises Industry-leading crystal orientation control technology that enables thinner but still impact-resistant coatings that provide improved chipping and wear resistance. Such features are optimal for use on the tough MC6135 grade. Additionally the coating is 50 % thinner compared to previous types.

Mitsubishi Materials reknowned range of solid carbide end mills includes the Alimaster series, designed specifically for ultra high efficiency milling of aluminium alloys.

Construction of a New Plant for Mining and Civil Engineering Tools in Thailand
- Doubling the manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand -

MMC RYOTEC Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary of Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, aims to enhance the manufacturing system for the mining and civil engineering tools it manufactures and sells and has decided to construct a new plant at OTEC (Thailand) Co, Ltd. (“OTEC”), its manufacturing base for those tools in Thailand, to expand the manufacturing capacity.

Mitsubishi Materials Corporation appoints a new Chief Strategy Officer in the Metalworking Solutions Company to drive business transformation.

Mitsubishi Materials has developed a very special series of grades that reaches across both milling and turning applications. The key feature of this innovative grades is due to the adoption of the newly developed AL-Rich coating method. This advanced CVD coating of Aluminium titanium nitride (Al,Ti)N is a compound of aluminium and titanium that is widely used as a coating for advanced cutting tools because of its extremely hard and heat-resistant properties.
