Tungaloy-NTK America Inc. expands its AH3225 PVD-coated grade, now available across a wider range of milling tools including high-feed cutters (MillQuadFeed), face milling cutters (DoOcto), shoulder milling cutters (TungTriShred) and ISO insert geometries such as SDKN42** and TEEN32**.

Tungaloy developed AH3225 with a “Triple Nano Coating,” offering a combination of wear resistance, fracture toughness and oxidation resistance. This technology provides long tool life, minimizes dimensional variation and delivers consistent machining quality even under demanding conditions.

Key benefits and features include:

  • Superior wear resistance and stability
    • Outstanding resistance to crater and flank wear for extended tool life
    • Reduced frequency of tool changes and stable machining across long production runs
    • Maintains surface quality and tight tolerances over time
  • Higher productivity at elevated cutting conditions
    • Enables faster cutting speeds and feed rates without compromising tool integrity
    • Well suited for high-feed and high-speed applications, reducing cycle times and overall machining costs
  • Versatility and compatibility
    • Available across milling tool families such as MillQuadFeed, DoOcto and TungTriShred
    • Compatible with ISO insert styles (SDKN42**, TEEN32**), offering flexible tooling solutions tailored to varied machining environments

The expansion of AH3225 provides users with a powerful cutting solution  that meets growing demands for durability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in steel and stainless steel machining. The tools are designed to provide optimized performance across a diverse range of tool bodies and applications.
