GC4225 from Sandvik Coromant, the world's leading producer of tools for turning, milling and drilling, represents the next generation of P25 grades to enhance machining performance in the general steel turning area.

Over the past few years, Sandvik Coromant has carried out extensive R&D to establish the new P25 grade, GC4225, which is the next insert generation to make the general steel-turning area even broader, more productive and more reliable.

A multi-talented insert grade for steel turning
In general steel turning everything varies. The steel material varies from un-alloyed to high-alloyed bar-material through to various forgings and castings. The type of operation varies from rough to finish turning with conditions ranging from good to difficult.

GC4225 has an improved capacity to adapt to variations in workpiece material and operational demands towards the tougher end of applications, thus providing more versatility. The new black and yellow grade provides a new potential for increasing productivity through higher cutting data, backed up by improved reliability.

– Upgrading to the new GC4225 will be a great hit for the whole steel machining industry, says Camilla Engbrink, Manager Turning Tools at Sandvik Coromant.

– Thanks to its broad application area, from low-carbon steel to high-alloy steel, its strength and its predictability, it will become the No.1 choice for steel turning, Engbrink says.

The new grade is also more durable, partly through an increased ability to withstand thermal demands. As such it has shown itself to be even more suitable for various optimization requirements within the very broad area of general steel turning.

A combination of improved insert toughness and wear resistance has contributed to the GC4225 grade becoming a better all round grade. It is a multi-talented solution and through improved coating adherence has considerably elevated the edge-line security of inserts.

This makes it possible to use a P25 grade throughout an even wider area than before, which is especially advantageous for machine shops with varying one-off component production – but without losing the ability for higher metal-removal-rate optimization for large-volume machining.
