MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATION, Metalworking Solutions Company (Company President: Kazuo Ohara, Address: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku Tokyo) has added the PVD coated carbide grade MP9025 for machining difficult-to-cut materials and an AG type, M-class precision 3D chipbreaker to the MMT threading insert series. These will be available on July 18^th.

The MMT threading series comprises indexable inserts and tool holders that meet a wide variety of threading applications.

Mitsubishi Materials is pleased to announce the expansion of the MMT series with MP9025, a PVD coated carbide grade, and an AG type, precision M-class 3D chipbreaker type.
The grades MP9025 and VP20RT have been added to the existing insert types. 

Main features of the PVD coated carbide grade MP9025 and AG type, M-class precision 3D chipbreaker

1. The MP9025 grade uses “aluminium rich technology” that has an increased Al content to improve film hardness and stabilize high-hardness phases in the coating, thereby improving crater wear and adhesion resistance.
    
2. The AG type is for general purpose 60°/55° threading, and supports a wide range of threads per inch 48-8, and pitches of 0.5 to 3.0 mm. The precision M-class 3D chipbreaker improves chip control and also contributes to cost reductions.
