Engineered for stable conditions, Sandvik GC2220 is a dedicated turning grade optimized for stainless steel applications. It offers excellent plastic deformation resistance and features advanced Inveio™ coating technology for improved wear resistance and extended tool life—especially under high cutting forces and elevated temperatures. GC2220 is ideal for machining austenitic and duplex stainless steels, delivering consistent performance and long-lasting durability in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts at average to high cutting speeds.
The Steiner Metalworking application team can help you select the right inserts for your stainless-steel machining needs and provide expert guidance on process improvements to increase yield and reduce costs.
Consistent Performance with Inveio™ Coating Technology
Grade GC2220 delivers long, predictable tool life through Sandvik’s Inveio™ coating, which features tightly packed, uni-directional crystals forming a strong barrier at the cutting zone. This reduces heat buildup, improving resistance to crater and flank wear and extending time in cut.
In combination with a robust substrate, optimized cutting edge geometry, and post-treatment, GC2220 is a top-performing solution for ISO M (stainless steel) machining.
