MILLING JANUARY Page 1 / 6 Expansion of the HELIIQMILL 390 Line with New 15 mm Insert Geometries
JANUARY Page 2 / 6 Highlights ISCAR is expanding the range of the HELIIQMILL 390 Line inserts with additional geometries to meet more application requirements. Following market demand, ISCAR is expanding the HELIIQMILL HM390-15 triangular inserts family to meet the growing requirements of efficient milling in various industrial sectors and applications, by adding three new geometries, one in a cermet grade. HM390 TDKT 1505PDR-GW IC30N Generally, cermet features excellent wear resistance at high temperatures and reduced built-up edge formation (BUE) with respect to tungsten carbide. These properties contribute greatly to successfully applying cermet tools to high speed machining (HSM) and achieving superior finish cutting. ISCAR s cermet grade IC30N was designed for long tool life and excellent surface quality. The new insert is intended mostly for semi-finish and finish milling operations, providing a fine machined surface for general use applications. Features Cermet grade for longer tool life and superior surface finish Good choice for HSM due to high resistance to abrasion and oxidation wear Wide and sharp-edge wiper for improved quality of machined surface 0.8 mm corner radius Covers a wide milling application range on steel, stainless steel, cast iron and sintered materials, including finish operations with high accuracy and roughness requirements

The insert cutting edge continues to be sharp over a long period of time, maintaining low cutting forces and excellent surface quality - hence, the cermet inserts are a good choice for precise finish milling.
JANUARY Page 4 / 6 HM390 TDCT 1505PDR The peripherally ground TDCT 1505PDR insert with its special chipformer produces excellent surface finish, accurate machined dimensions and precise 90 shoulders. The insert enables smooth machining with low cutting forces, especially for milling the various high temperature alloys widely used in the aerospace and power generation industries. The above features lead to a smooth and light cut, minimize burrs and provide extremely long tool life in either wet or dry machining. Features Sharp ground cutting edge with special edge preparation All-around ground periphery, including contact areas for accurate clamping in the insert pocket of a milling cutter Wide and sharp-edge wiper for high surface finish High accuracy of produced 90 profile 0.8 mm corner radius Available in SUMO TEC carbide grades IC830, IC808 and IC380 Grade IC380 is a first priority grade for machining titanium, high temperature alloys and heat resistant alloys. In addition, it can be used successfully for milling austenitic stainless steel, carbon steel and hard steel at medium to high cutting speeds, even under unfavorable machining conditions or interrupted cuts. Moreover, its high resistance to thermal cracking makes it suitable for machining with wet cooling, in applications where reduction of generated heat is critical. The following field reports show the advantage of the new HM390 TDCT 1505PDR geometry.
