SUMITOMO AC8000P series (AC8115P/AC8020P/AC8025P/AC8035P) steel turning
Four brand positioning and coating substrate technology
All adopt the ABSO-TECH CVD coating system: high toughness alumina Al ₂ O Ⅲ layer+fine grain TiCN layer+high adhesion interface technology+special surface pre stress smoothing treatment; Pre stressing treatment is applied to the surface to suppress crack propagation and enhance the resistance to chipping. The golden surface facilitates wear identification.
Brand positioning focuses on core performance and applicable working conditions
AC8115P (new grade) high-speed continuous processing ultimate wear resistance, anti plastic deformation steel high-speed continuous precision semi precision processing; Both wet and dry methods are acceptable; Resistant to crescent shaped depressions and high-temperature plastic deformation; Replace the old model AC8015P
AC8020P has outstanding anti chipping performance in efficient machining and moderate cutting load; Continuous, slightly intermittent, resistant to impact and collapse damage
AC8025P universal main grade anti adhesion+anti collapse balance, with the highest comprehensive reliability. The steel is continuous and slightly intermittent; The top recommended grades for the vast majority of carbon steel and alloy steel
AC8035P heavy intermittent processing reduces residual tensile stress in coatings, resists fracture heavy impact, strong intermittent, rough processing of forgings with oxide skin, and prioritizes solving the problem of blade breakage
Applicable workpiece materials: low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, low alloy steel, high alloy steel, forged steel parts; Processing supports wet and dry cutting.
Complete chip breaker system (negative rake angle+positive rake angle)
Groove coverage: ultra precision → precision machining → light cutting → medium cutting → rough machining → heavy rough machining; Negative front angle is the main feature, while positive front angle is suitable for walking machines and small parts.

Performance test results
AC8115P (4137 steel): Whether it is conventional wet cutting, high-speed wet cutting, or dry cutting, its resistance to plastic deformation and crescent wear is significantly better than traditional grades; After the same processing time, the wear rate of the cutting surface is only half that of traditional cutting tools, and the service life is ≥ 1.5-2 times.
AC8020P (forged with intermittent 4137 steel): its anti chipping ability is 2.5 times that of traditional cutting tools; Suppressing coating cracks under multiple impacts, suitable for efficient production.
AC8025P (8620 steel end face): Surface smoothing process suppresses material adhesion; Resistance to adhesive fracture is twice that of traditional methods; Long term processing only produces normal wear and tear, without sticking or chipping of the blade.
AC8035P (4140 intermittent outer circle): The technology reduces the tensile stress of the coating, and the fracture resistance is twice that of traditional methods; Multiple impact tests have been conducted, and multiple cutting edges can continue to be processed. Competitors have failed due to premature blade breakage.
