A new era in aerospace machining
Inconel, Rene, Waspaloy, the whole heat-resistant superalloy family — the metals that make turbine and engine work brutal on tooling. We bring the Tungaloy NTK BIDEMICS and ceramic grades that turn and mill them at carbide-beating speeds, the Korloy MSD Plus-S carbide drills that put clean holes through them, and the application specialists to prove it on your machine. Fewer tools, faster cycles, lower cost per part.
BIDEMICS: twice the speed, or twice the life
BIDEMICS is a patented composite grade built for nickel-based superalloys. Against whisker ceramics you can run roughly double the cutting speed — or hold the same speed and get dramatically longer tool life. JX1 handles rough-no-scale and semi-finish turning in rigid setups with excellent notch-wear resistance; JX3 adds toughness for corners, grooving, and lower-rigidity work; JP2 finishes up to 520 m/min, beating CBN and carbide on both speed and surface finish.

Carbide strength, ceramic speed — now for milling
The new CERAMATIC Brazed end mills join an SX9 SiAlON ceramic cutting end to a carbide shank, so you get ceramic milling speed on Inconel and other HRSA without the breakage risk of a solid-ceramic tool. About 25% more rigidity than a solid-ceramic shank keeps it stable even at 3–4× diameter overhang, and the line starts at ø6 mm. NTK reports up to 16× the tool life and up to 12–15× the productivity of carbide end mills on aircraft Inconel 718 parts — run dry, at 300 m/min and up.
Hole-making built for the alloys that break drills
When the hole is in Inconel, Rene, or a titanium alloy, an ordinary carbide drill work-hardens the wall, packs its flutes, and snaps. The Korloy MSD Plus-S is a solid-carbide, internal-coolant drill built for exactly that cut: notch-control cutting edges and special edge preparation stop the chipping and sudden breakage, while wide chip pockets, an optimized 140° point, and a back-tapered margin flush heat and chips clear of the hole. The new PC325T coating holds its edge through the high-temperature, work-hardening conditions that end most drills early. In Korloy’s own Inconel 718 testing it drilled twice as many holes as the competing drill at a lower, steadier thrust — and the range now runs from 3×D up to 8×D and 10×D for deep-hole work in the same alloys.
