TetraForce-Cut – outboard motor parts – AH6235

IMPROVE TOOL LIFE

For grooving operations on SUS304 outboard motor parts, consistent machining quality and reliable tool performance are essential due to the material’s toughness. In this project, the Tungaloy TetraForce-Cut with AH6235 grade was introduced and demonstrated stable processing throughout a trial run of 15 units, meeting all requirements without any issues. The tool’s advanced insert geometry and wear-resistant grade proved highly effective for this application, supporting the customer’s acceptance for full production under the campaign.
