Mitsubishi Materials Corporation appoints a new Chief Strategy Officer in the Metalworking Solutions Company to drive business transformation.

Mitsubishi Materials has developed a very special series of grades that reaches across both milling and turning applications. The key feature of this innovative grades is due to the adoption of the newly developed AL-Rich coating method. This advanced CVD coating of Aluminium titanium nitride (Al,Ti)N is a compound of aluminium and titanium that is widely used as a coating for advanced cutting tools because of its extremely hard and heat-resistant properties.

VQ, the top of the range series of carbide end mills from Mitsubishi Materials has recently expanded to include a new innovative type, the VQ4 MVM. This latest addition is ideal for machining stainless steels and difficult-to-cut-materials including titanium and heat resistant super alloys. The modern metal cutting world also demands versatility and a reduction of cutting tool inventory, therefore this new end mill is also suitable for carbon and alloy steel applications.
