Grade E10F

Cost-competitive performance for short, fast tool runs. Some of the benefits are:

• Supports value-positioned tool programs while allowing toolmakers to differentiate through custom geometry
• Designed for high-volume runs where tool changes are simple and convenient
• Delivers dependable general-purpose drilling and milling performance in steel, cast iron, non-ferrous materials, and select single-layer CFRP
• Supports select titanium and superalloy operations under stable cutting conditions
• Balances hardness and toughness for everyday industrial drilling and edge milling across common workpiece materials
• Provides a practical option when cutting performance matters more than maximum tool life

Thanks to its balanced 10% cobalt composition, grade E10F carbide rod blanks can be used for cost-competitive round tool production across aerospace, automotive, and general machining applications.

Aerospace

In applications where tool changes are convenient, grade E10F is a practical option for aluminum or stainless-steel wing rib drilling and titanium fan casing edge milling when cutting conditions fit the grade’s performance window.

Automotive

For combustion engine vehicle programs, Essentials by Hyperion grade E10F provides the hardness and toughness needed for drilling steel and cast iron, including abrasive cast iron workpieces.

General Purpose Machining

Grade E10F is suited for everyday industrial drilling and edge milling in materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, and other non-ferrous materials.

Physical and Mechanical Properties

Binder includes cobalt and other materials. Composition by weight can vary by ±0.2% to ±0.3%.
