Newly Introducing CVD Turning Grade ‘YG3125’ for Steel

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.
