HOUSTON - A new insert grade and two new chip-control geometries are the latest improvements from American National Carbide (ANC) for the non-ferrous materials ISO N area.

The new grade is AN6115, which has a PVD coating of titanium nitride over a fine-grained, hard substrate. AN6115 is ANC's preferred grade for machining aluminum and can also be used for other non-ferrous materials and high-temperature alloys.

AN6115 is available in the new HP and AR chip-control geometries, which are designed specifically for aluminum and non-ferrous machining. Both geometries are tailored for single-sided precision ground inserts and feature high-positive chip-control design.
