AddForceCut – Tubing Pipe – AH6235
IMPROVE TOOL LIFE
During parting-off operations on oil well tubing pipes made from 13cr alloy, the previous tool exhibited limited tool life and occasional edge chipping, particularly when processing mixed material lots.
By introducing Tungaloy's AddForceCut system equipped with AH6235 grade inserts—recognized for their high hardness and advanced PVD coating that delivers superior wear and fracture resistance—greater stability was achieved in these demanding conditions.
This switch enabled a significant increase in parts processed per cutting edge, extending tool life by approximately 47% compared with the previous solution.
