We offer two types of HMW milling inserts:
In addition to the classic PVD and CVD coatings, the HMW milling catalogue includes a section dedicated to the new frontier of coatings: HiPIMS coatings that we call “Capsule Line”.
These coatings, applied using PVD technology that works at higher ionization energy levels compared to traditional PVD technology (HiPIMS = High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering), provide the insert with a smoother surface, drastically reducing friction with the material being machined and preventing built-up edge formation.
For many milling inserts in our catalogue, we have replaced the classic CVD coating with a 12-micron TiAIN HiPIMS coating, which has shown greater density, increased hardness, and reduced crack propagation compared to CVD.
We offer, upon request, different types of HiPIMS coatings for specific materials (steels, stainless steels, cast iron, hardened steels, superalloys).
If the offered variety of geometries/chipbreakers/grades makes it difficult to decide, we are here to support you in choosing the best insert, optimizing your machining process and reducing costs.
For each insert in the catalogue, we specify:
