Material characteristics
- *1 The harder the material, the more resistant it is to wear.
- *2 The higher the amount of cobalt (Co) in the material, the higher the fracture toughness value is.
Thus, chipping and breakage of the cutting edge are less likely to occur. - *3 The lower the amount of cobalt (Co) in the material, the better the thermal conductivity is.
For this reason it is difficult for heat to accumulate in the cutting edge during machining.
