BCU20T - Outstanding performance in thread turning even under difficult conditions

With the BCU20T grade, Boehlerit, the specialist for carbides and tools, is presenting a new ultra-fine grain grade for thread turning. It has a TiAlN coating and is perfectly suited for general use. The BCU20T grade is a reliable option for demanding applications as it has excellent fracture toughness even under difficult conditions. In addition, Boehlerit has expanded its threading range to include direct-pressed indexable inserts. These are available in various part profiles with 55° and 60° as well as in ISO metric, American UN, Whitworth, NPT, BSPT and API round and represent an economical solution for threading applications. The direct-pressed plates can be easily identified by the abbreviation ‘BD’ and are characterised by excellent performance and high quality.

Innovative thread rolling process with Wagner rolling systems powered by Boehlerit: Highest precision and efficiency

The Styrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit has concluded a worldwide sales co-operation (with the exception of Germany) for thread rolling systems with Wagner Tooling Systems Baublies GmbH from Pliezhausen in Germany. Thread rolling is an advanced technique for producing threads by cold forming the material using high pressure. A permanent plastic deformation is achieved, whereby thread rolling precisely displaces the material from the thread core and directs it towards the thread tips. Thanks to this method, the fibre flow in the metal is not interrupted, but merely changed in order to produce threads with high strength, profile and dimensional accuracy.
