Executive vice president-commercial, Bernie McConnell, welcomed the industry trade press to the event and illustrated the 71-year history of innovations at Greenleaf Corporation. Following the opening remarks, Jim Wyant, applications engineer/project development, and Jan Andersson, global manager, tech team and marketing, presented the technical merits and customer value offered by the new ceramic grade.
“Xsytin-1 has the potential to be as revolutionary as WG-300 was when it changed machining with its introduction in 1985,” Mr Andersson commented.
The attendees experienced an in-depth tour of Greenleaf’s insert manufacturing facility led by the company’s manufacturing leadership team. Greenleaf corporation president, Jim Greenleaf, offered closing remarks about the win-rate and performance of Xsytin-1 in the marketplace as well as the future opportunities for Greenleaf’s line of technical ceramic products.
Xsytin-1 is a phase toughened ceramic insert grade complementing Greenleaf’s established line of ceramic insert cutting tools, engineered to machine a wide range of materials and designed to mill, turn and groove difficult materials at high feed rates.
The strongest ceramic insert grade ever produced by Greenleaf, Xsytin-1 is ideal for use on interrupted cuts, removal of scale, roughing, semi-finish and finish cuts in heat resistant superalloy materials, cast irons, nodular irons, ductile irons, steel alloys and stainless steels.
