The Sterling Edge Sweep Insert blends the clearance of a backdraft with the straight wall cleanup of a 90deg flat bottom. The smaller flat on the side wall and the bottom of the insert allows a larger step down or ramp rate and provides superior finishes on straight walls and pockets. Combined with a carbide or heavy metal shank holder this insert is highly cost effective for deep pocket finishing on both pre-hard and hardened applications, eliminating the need to EDM hardened pockets or the frustration of trying to get desired results with expensive long fluted end mills that chatter and deflect.
Cemented carbides are a class of hard materials used extensively for cutting tools, as well as in other industrial applications. It consists of fine particles of carbide cemented into a composite by a binder metal. Cemented carbides commonly use tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), or tantalum carbide (TaC) as the aggregate. Mentions of "carbide" or "tungsten carbide" in industrial contexts usually refer to these cemented composites. The cobalt content could vary from 5% to 23% base on application. 8% to 12% are the most common for cutting tools. Ruthenium is used to replace cobalt as a perfered binder for the best cutting performance.
Used in hard machining applications of 50-70 RC for abrasive materials where heat is an issue.
