EXM1 Series.
Experts in cutting stainless steel.

Stainless steels are very popular in industry not only because of their corrosion resistance. they are also hygienic. temperature-resistant and extremely durable. Stainless steels are mostly used in the food industry. medical technology. the pharmaceutical industry. the chemical industry and in the off-shore sector.


Durability

Designed for high productivity and lasting durability

PERFORMANCE

Ultra-fine grain substrate specially developed for demanding material structures. Maximum bending strength and fracture toughness combined with moderate hardness

Geometry

Innovative tool geometries ensure a wide range of uses and enable use in a wide variety of milling techniques

Alpha Nox Navy X

State-of-the-art. nano-structured multi-layer coating specially designed for machining stainless steel

Hofmann & Vratny - EXM1 Series

The new EXM1 Series

The H&V EXM1 Series was developed to reliably machine these different structures and also to withstand components such as nickel, manganese, tungsten or titanium.

THE EXM1 SERIES IN COMPARISON WITH THE COMPETITION

The tool matrix for our EXM1 Series compares the performance of individual milling cutters within the series. The values clearly show the performance in relation to the respective property in order to help you choose the right tool for every requirement.

Hofmann & Vratny - ALPHA NOX NAVY X

ALPHA NOX NAVY X

ANNX | state-of-the-art. nano-structured multi-layer coating specially designed for machining stainless steel.


Particularly when using super duplex steels, there is immense pressure on the cutting edges. Thanks to the multi-layer, nano-structuring of our new AlphaNox Navy X coating, a high level of elasticity is achieved and the internal stress of the coating is reduced. There is very controlled wear and the coating wears off very evenly. Layer spalling and premature breakouts are effectively prevented.

Surface Quality

Improved surface quality during finishing

Chip Disposal

Optimised chip disposal due to smooth chip spaces

Stability

Maximum stability for coating and cutting edges

Optimization

Reduction of built-up edges and chips sticking on the tool

Friction coefficient

Absolute smoothness for a reduced friction coefficient (0.4)
