The Boehlerit range of carbide grades
solutions
Boehlerit is a true pioneer in the devel- opment of cutting materials from carbide and a European premium man- ufacturer whose outstanding expertise results from its close links with the steel industry. The result: high-end grade solutions for rotating carbide tools that are suitable for a wide range of applica- tions.
The Kapfenberg-based tool manufacturer looks back on many years’ experience with regard to carbide blanks and semi-finished products for the precision tool industry and offers a multitude of special material grades with varying grain sizes. Alongside the well-established micro-grain carbide grades HB10F, HB20F and HB30F, Boehlerit also offers two grades in the ultrafine-grain

range with the HB20UF and the HB44UF. HB20UF is ideal for the processing of com- posites as well as for HSC milling from 60 HRC. HB44UF is used for all rotating tools within the field of HSC technology and for the machining of hardened steels up to 62 HRC.
HB40T, a special carbide grade that was developed by Boehlerit, offers a combina- tion of toughness and wear resistance that is ideal for the roughing of titanium.
When it comes to milling titanium, its toughness poses a challenge for the cutting material used, as it leads to high temper- atures and wear levels on the tool blade. To counteract this, tools require a sophisti- cated combination of metallic hard mate- rials that have contradictory properties.
