Cutting Materials
Added value with SPK cutting materials.
Due to unbeatable wear resistance hardness and hot hardness SPK-Ceramics established itself as an ideal cutting material for mass production of cast iron parts, hard rolls and hardened steel. Machining speed is increased, production time shortened, output, productivity and efficiency are highly improved.
A wide range of products for SPK-WURBON® is completing the range of cutting materials for high performance machining of cast iron and hardened steel.
SPK-Cermets achieve best surface qualities and dimensional accuracy of the work pieces in finishing steel. They are ideal suited for finishing and fine finishing operations with low chip cross sections and uniform depths of cut.
