Korloy CCMT060208-HMP PC9030: PVD-coated carbide insert (80° diamond, ultra-fine grain) built for medium/heavy interrupted stainless roughing. Fewer stops, high edge life, excellent chipping resistance—trusted across automotive, aerospace, die & mold, general engineering.
The Korloy CCMT060208-HMP PC9030 is a premium carbide insert engineered for heavy-duty, interrupted cutting—especially in stainless steel machining. Featuring an 80° diamond (CCMT) geometry with a 6.35 mm inscribed circle and 0.031 in nose radius, it balances strength and precision. Coated with PVD TiAlN over a fine-grain carbide substrate, the PC9030 grade excels in medium to heavy roughing by resisting chipping and welding under aggressive cutting conditions. The HMP chipbreaker ensures stable chip control across varying material hardness.

PC9030 is Korloy’s PVD-coated TiAlN grade, formulated for medium to heavy roughing in stainless steel, offering excellent chipping and welding resistance
The HMP chipbreaker is optimized for medium cutting and excels at managing chips in interrupted cuts, ensuring smoother operations
It’s engineered primarily for roughing tasks—great for taking deep cuts and handling hard, segmented work. For fine finishing, a different geometry/grade would be better.
It’s best suited for stainless steels, especially during interrupted cutting. It also handles exotic alloys well due to its wear-resistant substrate
The PVD TiAlN coating protects against wear and heat, while the ultra-fine substrate improves edge stability—resulting in longer tool life and fewer changes.
