WG-600® World’ s Most Productive Whisker-Reinforced Ceramic Insert. 

WG-600® is the only commercially available coated whisker-reinforced ceramic cutting tool.  Greenleaf’s proprietary coating gives WG-600® the advantage of offering 2-3 times longer tool life over uncoated whiskered ceramics.  WG600® excels at machining high-strength alloy materials, hardened steels and other difficult to cut materials; and, it is particularly well suited for demanding applications in which extended tool life is critical.

WG-600® can outperform carbide and Silicon Nitride-based ceramics in heat resistant alloys, hard steels, weld overlays and 400-series stainless steels.  WG-600® has outstanding thermal and mechanical shock resistance making it the grade of choice for intermittent cut applications, such as milling.

Grooving and turning applications can also benefit from using WG-600® by reducing cycle time and extending tool life.

WG-600® performs at higher speed and feed combinations than any other cutting tool material on the market.

Available in all standard insert geometries and styles, as well as special geometries customer designed to you unique need.
