CERATIZIT MasterGuide      Material Based on VDI 3323 CERATIZIT's MasterGuide divides materials into six main groups. Each is given a colour, according to the system partly adopted in ISO 513.

Blue: steel   Machining, cementation, tempered and constructional steels

Yellow: stainless steel   Ferritic Cr-steels, austenitic CrNi-steels, martensitic Cr-steels, duplex steels

Red: cast iron   Cast iron, grey cast iron, tempered iron, spheroidal cast iron, CGI, sintered iron

Green: non ferrous metals and non metals   Al wrought and Al cast alloys, copper, copper alloys, non metal materials

Orange: heat resistant alloys / titanium   Ni/Co-base alloys, Ti alloys

White: hard materials   Hardened steels (= 45 HRC), chilled castings, hard cast irons

 

Machining application type Each coloured segment is divided into three sections, and each section indicates the relevant machining application type: R = Rough machining M = Medium machining F = Fine machining

Turning Application The ideal application area for the insert is indicated by a black circle. Extended applications are indicated by an open circle. The CERATIZIT MasterGuide provides you with an easily understandable structure for choosing a product and enables you to reduce grade and geometry stocks. Main application Extended application

Milling Application The ideal application area for each insert is indicated by a black square. Extended applications are indicated by an open square. The CERATIZIT MasterGuide provides you with an easily understandable structure for choosing a product and enables youto reduce grade and geometry inventory.   Main application Extended application
