Carbide Rod Research

 

Carbide Rod Research Note

 

Hyperion cemented carbide tool life comparison - High performance series vs application specific series Hyperion Materials & Technologies has introduced three series of cemented carbide grades to help customers select the optimal grade best suited for their end-use application.

The choice of material used to produce end mills and drills for machining operations has a major impact on results.  Visit our PDF Download section for a research note presenting results from tests conducted in our Hyperion Technology Center (USA).

 

INCONEL® Milling with Grade H10F Carbide Rods

 

Hyperion cemented carbide grade H10F Inconel machining tool life comparison Hyperion Materials & Technologies' High Performance grade H10F has been engineered to give superior performance when milling INCONEL®.

In tests conducted in our Hyperion Technology Center (USA), carbide rods made from grade H10F outperformed conventional rods by up to 50% while exhibiting repeatable and consistent performance.  The grade H10F carbide rods exhibit an engineered balance of hardness and toughness. Visit our PDF Download section for a leaflet containing test details and additional results.
