Tantung has a high transverse rupture strength, low coefficient of friction and excellent resistance to corrosion. It is tough, readily absorbs shock and impact, and is non-magnetic...it likes to work. As a cutting tool, it is ideal for all turning, facing, boring, milling , and cut-off applications on nearly every type of metal as well as non-metallics. Tantung performs best at speeds of 100-250 SFPM and can be used to excellent advantage on machines where speed, power, and rigidity are limited. In addition, it will not anneal or lose its cutting edge as will H.S.S. when subjected to high-red heats generated during the cutting cycle. Tantung G is recommended for general purpose machining of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal and general woodworking operations. For catalog items, Tantung G Hardness is 60 to 63 Rockwell C and Transverse Rupture Strength is 300,000 psi minimum. Call or email if you have any questions.
