EVOLUTION

A NEW TECHNOLOGY – A NEW ERA FOREXCEPTIONAL GRADES
Duratomic is a new insert coating technology from Seco Tools that allows
us to design grades for optimal performance in all areas of metal cutting.
We have explored every possibility down to the atomic level in order to
increase toughness and wear resistance in our coated grades. The improved
mechanical and thermal properties are far beyond the capabilities of any
existing grade onthe market.

WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT: MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY
The Duratomic coating technology offers a new level of toughness and wear
resistance in the same grade, with more versatile grades, a wider range of
applications and a greater flexibility in cutting data.
This gives you higher speeds, increased cutting data, a longer and more
predictable tool life, a wider machining window anddramatically increased
productivity …

SIX NEW GRADES FOR
ALL YOUR MILLING APPLICATIONS
Seco is now introducing new powerful grades for milling. A full range of
grades especially designed to satisfy the needs for longer tool life, higher
reliability and a more flexible production.
For the broad range of ISO P, M and K applications, Seco offers four new
Duratomic grades that stand upto the heat of both normal and high speed
machining; MP2500 and MP1500 for steel and stainless steel, and MK1500
and MK3000 for cast iron.
A COMPLETE PROGRAMME FOR STEEL, STAINLESS STEEL AND CAST IRON
And to make the milling grade programme complete, Seco also introduces
two new PVD coated grades for optimal performance in medium machining
of cast iron and high speed machining of hardenedsteels; MK2000 for cast
iron and MH1000 for hardened steel.
MP2500 DURATOMIC™
MP2500 is the universal grade and first choice for milling in steel

all the new grades and is also suitable for unmanned production.
MP1500 DURATOMIC™
MP1500 is an extremely wear resistant grade for milling in harder

MP2500 – FIRST CHOICE FOR STEEL & STAINLESS STEEL

SECURITY AND SAFETY FOR UNMANNED PRODUCTION
MP2500 has a unique combination of wear resistance and toughness and isthe perfect grade when it comes to security and safety. It is the ideal grade
for unmanned production where long and predictable tool life are important issues.
MP2500 has the widest application area of all new milling grades and
is therefore our first choice for general steel milling, especially suitable for
face, square shoulder and disc milling.
Thanks to its superior performance, MP2500...
