SECO Tools recently introduced the MP2051 grade, designed to deliver exceptional durability and versatility for long, unmanned machining sessions. Engineered to perform reliably under high-temperature and tough cutting conditions, the new grade offers consistent results across a wide range of materials, reducing the need for multiple inserts.
A reinforced binder phase enhances the toughness and safety of the insert, while the PVD coating ensures high reliability and extended tool life. This combination allows manufacturers to machine for hours without interruption or the need for frequent quality checks.
The MP2051 grade addresses one of the biggest challenges in extended machining—maintaining workpiece quality despite risks such as plastic deformation, micro chipping, or tool failure. With less frequent tool changes required, the solution enables continuous machining of large components, saving time, reducing costs, and improving surface finish quality.
Makes dry Milling in high temperatures a reality
The MP2051 grade is designed to be aggressive in tough machining conditions. It can be used when roughing hard scale as well as interrupted cuts. Developed to handle the heat, putting up a fight against plastic deformation and comb cracking, this insert is totally reliable in operations on large components where a long time in cut is needed.
Hot machining conditions with interrupted cuts often generate fluctuating temperature cycles, leading to comb cracking on inserts and plastic deformation that disrupt the machining process. The MP2051 grade from SECO Tools addresses this challenge with exceptional resistance to both plastic deformation and comb cracking, making it particularly well-suited for dry milling and high-temperature applications. Its durability ensures reliable operations and high wear resistance, even under the most demanding conditions.
Versatile Across Materials and Industries
The MP2051 grade is adaptable and can be used in a wide variety of materials, including ferritic and martensitic stainless steels, precipitation-hardened steels, high alloyed stainless steels, high alloyed steels, duplex stainless steel, HRSA, and titanium. This versatility means you can use it for all sorts of applications, whether you’re in the energy sector, aerospace or general engineering.
Finding a single grade capable of handling a wide range of materials and machining conditions can be challenging, often requiring multiple grades and frequent tool changes. The MP2051 grade from SECO Tools solves this problem with its versatility, delivering consistent performance across diverse materials and applications while reducing the need for multiple inserts and minimizing tool changes.
Sustainability and Recyclability
The cemented carbide in the MP2051 grade is made from recycled raw materials, and these inserts can then be recycled through Seco’s buy-back program. This commitment to sustainability helps reduce environmental impact and supports a circular economy.
Reducing environmental impact while maintaining high-performance machining can be challenging. The MP2051 grade from SECO Tools addresses this by incorporating recycled materials and offering recyclability through SECO’s buy-back program, providing a sustainable solution without compromising on reliability or durability. It enables manufacturers to achieve their sustainability goals while ensuring consistent high-performance operations.
