Designed for rough forgings and castings, the HR2 features a stable geometry for improved tool life and performance. It offers reliable chip formation and evacuation at high feeds (0.7 mm/rev). This promotes a continuous production process with less machine downtime.

HR2 is available with a new turning grade, the T9226. It provides high insert reliability and durability in adverse cutting conditions due to a new functional gradient substrate which contains a high amount of cobalt binding and finer grain structure. A special treatment added to the coating’s surface promotes reduced adhesion to the workpiece and resistance to the formation of heat-related cracks.
