Material Composition | Heavy-duty machining, high-temperature applications | Industry: HSS (ISO 598-1) ▲ Our Base: Tungsten Steel (ASTM A395) ▲ Our Advanced: Tungsten Carbide (ISO 3312) | Enhanced durability and heat resistance in Advanced versions. | Higher cost for carbide; requires careful handling for brittle carbide edges. |
Hardness (HRC) | Precision engineering, abrasive materials | Industry: 60 HRC (ASTM E18) ▲ Our Base: 65 HRC (ASTM E18) ▲ Our Advanced: 65 HRC (TiCN coating for edge retention) | Higher hardness reduces wear; coating improves longevity. | Base/Advanced may chip if misapplied (e.g., over-torqued). |
Coating | Corrosive environments, high-temperature machining | Industry: Uncoated/TiN (ISO 3294) ▲ Our Base: TiCN (2–3μm, ASTM E1354) ▲ Our Advanced: Multi-layer TiCN/Al₂O₃ (4μm, ISO 14577) | Advanced coating resists corrosion and extreme wear. | Multi-layer coating increases production complexity and cost. |
Control Mode | Precision CNC machining, complex geometries | Industry: Manual/basic CNC (ISO 230-2) ▲ Our Base: CNC-controlled (ISO 230-2) ▲ Our Advanced: CNC with adaptive feed control (ISO 230-4) | Advanced enables real-time adjustments for tight tolerances. | Requires skilled operators for advanced adaptive systems. |
Application Type | Aerospace, firearms manufacturing, construction | Industry: General metalworking (ISO 1940-1) ▲ Our Base: Metal/Plastic (ASTM D3746) ▲ Our Advanced: Chamber reaming, aerospace alloys (MIL-STD-461) | Advanced handles specialized tasks like gun chambering and exotic alloys. | Narrower application scope limits versatility for non-specialized users. |
Tool Life/Durability | High-volume production, long-running operations | Industry: 500 minutes (ISO 3685) ▲ Our Base: 1000 minutes (ISO 3685) ▲ Our Advanced: 1500 minutes (ISO 3685) | Longer tool life reduces downtime and replacement costs. | Higher upfront cost for advanced materials/coatings. |
