Carbide Rod Research
Superalloy Milling with Grade AM110™ Carbide Rods
Hyperion Materials & Technologies' innovative Application Specific grade AM110 has been engineered to give superior performance when machining superalloys.
Testing conducted in our Hyperion Technology Center (USA) indicated 35% more cuts in INCONEL® workpieces can be made using tools made with grade AM110, as compared to comparable tungsten carbide grades. The grade AM110 carbide rods exhibit the hardness, toughness, and galling resistance required for demanding machining.
