Damage and material analysis
Inspection of third-party products
A metal-cutting tool is a complex system, consisting of the base material, the cutting-edge geometry and, in some cases, the coating. These individual components must work in perfect harmony to deliver an optimum result on the workpiece. Should problems with service life or even tool breakages occur when using the tools, then the cause needs to be found.
As an independent test centre for carbide, Ihle is an expert at finding answers. Our detailed test reports and recommendations help our customers to optimise their operating processes.
