Release of the MC/MP7100 Series Coated Grade for Stainless Steel Turning

Mitsubishi Materials has the ability to combine coating and substrate technology to produce a series of grades to successfully machine stainless steels.

The New MC/MP7100 Series has Improved coating adhesion strength and dedicated carbide substrate suppresses notching during stainless steel turning. The standard Nano Texture Technology has been improved and developed to be an industry leading standard for crystal growth of Al2O3 coatings. This Super Nano Texture Technology increases tool life and wear resistance due to the fine, dense crystal growth process.

Key features of the MC/MP7100 series for stainless steel turning:

All three grades use “Super” nano-texture technology to achieve the industry’s highest level of crystal orientation control of the Al₂O₃ coating layer.

MC7115 - CVD coated carbide grade specialized for high speed cutting. For medium to large austenitic stainless steel parts, cutting speeds of 820 SFM or more reduce machining time.

MC7125 - First recommended grade Compatible with a wide range of applications, from continuous cutting through to interrupted cutting. Suitable for a wide variety of stainless steels.

MP7135 - PVD coated carbide grade that is resistant to the impacts of interrupted cutting.
It is ideal for intermittent cutting of workpieces, as well as for rough machining of forged and cast products.
