Seco Tools Duratomic-Grade DP3000 Indexable Insert Drills

Seco Tools introduces the Duratomic-grade DP3000 range of indexable insert drills for very high feeds and speeds. The grade provides a balance of heat resistance, wear resistance, and strength, making it ideal for holemaking in a wide variety of materials.

Developed for use with Perfomax indexable drills, the grade’s properties allow it to provide reliable, cost-effective, and productive performance, even in challenging situations, such as angled entrances and interrupted cuts.

Available in all Perfomax insert geometries and sizes, DP3000 increases tool life and allows for the use of more aggressive cutting data. The grade’s balance of toughness and strength originate from concentrating its cobalt content near the surface of the substrate, coupled with a Duratomic coating comprised of titanium carbon nitride (TiCN) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

All Perfomax drills feature strong square inserts and offer high stability. Their low friction coating and unique chip flute design optimizes chip removal rates to boost productivity and process reliability. The tools’ versatility helps to reduce inventory and production costs.

Seco’s proprietary Duratomic process involves manipulating elements at an atomic level to create a harder, tougher, and smoother insert surface. This creates direct benefits in the areas of productivity, surface finish, tool life, and overall cutting capability. In addition to increasing the physical durability of the insert, Duratomic technology also provides superior thermal control to maximize process stability.
