How to select the right turning grade for Hard Materials?
A mapping of Hard Materials Turning grades and how to select the right one.SMG H (Hard Material) is divided in 8 sub-groups, to capture specific material characteristics and reduce the complexity of every specific material.
Based on grade portfolio, you can find a starting grade recommendation which can be optimized depending on the application, based on below mentioned grade mapping.
