The new era of Speed, Strength and Power
Phoenix Shield™ unbreakable on every challenge!
Palbit’s Phoenix Shield™ series offers you cutting edge performance across the board in every steel turning operation. PH2G grade series is an innovative combination of a highly dense and hard nanostructured coating base material, including new Al2O3 layer with improved wear resistance which provides superior performance during high-speed turning operations.
This new grade series features nanolayer optimization and cutting edge stability, achieved with pre- and post-coating process technologies, designed to improve adhesion between layers and fine-tune tensile stress within coating. Despite the high wear resistance, the new grades also display enhanced performance on chipping prevention throughout instabilities. This greatly boosts strength, wear and heat resistance as well as tool life when compared to the previous generation coating
The ultimate goal is machining process optimization, in order to address market demand for greater efficiency and higher cutting speeds. In addition, the increased use of highstrength materials in automotive components also demands for cutting tools with greater wear resistance. Longer lasting and more reliable, the new Phoenix Shield™ series are sure to give you a step up in productivity and process security.

Revealing the Layers
A Solid Foundation
Cemented Carbide Substrates
Palbit's cemented carbide substrates form the sturdy foundation of the Phoenix Shield™ coatings. Combining high strength with reliable toughness, these substrates provide the necessary stability for the layers above, delivering consistent and reliable performance in even the most demanding machining tasks.
Substrate
A solid foundation
Palbit’s cemented carbide substrates combine high strength and insert toughness.
Inner coating - Ti(C,N)
Fortifying Reliability
Very hard and abrasion resistant layer, produced from fine grain TiCN particles for greatly improved chipping resistance.
CVD - Alumina coating (Al2O3)
Pure Al2O3 Strength
The coating has been improved and developed to be an industry leading standard for crystal growth and densification on Al2O3 layer. This nano-control technology increases tool life and wear resistance due to the fine, dense crystal growth process.
Top coating (TiN)
Golden precision
Designed for easy recognition of insert tool life and wear pattern, combines with new surface treatment for lower adhesion, minimum built-up-edge and enhanced cutting edge stability. Also the special grinding treatment on both top and bottom surfaces, provides improved clamping stability widening the suitable range of applications.
Applications
Available in PH2G115 and PH2G125, these grades are suitable for a wide range of applications, including turning of steels and cast steels, covering both roughing and finishing operations.
PH2G115
Harder grade, with improved heat resistance;
For higher cutting speeds and continuous cutting;
PH2G125
First choice for the majority of steel turning applications;
Continuous or interrupted cutting, roughing or finishing;
Test Report
When performing external turning on Steel 34CrNiMo6 with a hardness rating of 26-28 HRC, the PH2G grade exhibited a 25% longer tool life, machining for 60 minutes compared to the 45-minute performance of equivalent competitor products.
