Greenleaf Corporation<br />
Greenleaf Corporation is a leading developer<br />
of cutting tool technology, specializing in<br />
the manufacturing of high-performance<br />
tungsten carbide and ceramic inserts as well<br />
as innovative toolholding systems. Greenleaf<br />
continues to build on 65 years of innovation,<br />
which centers on supplying customers with<br />
productive solutions to every metalcutting<br />
situation.<br />
Greenleaf Corporation is positioned to<br />
serve the evolving needs of companies in all<br />
major segments of the metalcutting industry<br />
including gas turbine, mold, steel, medical,<br />
roll turning, automotive, machine tools and<br />
rail. Greenleaf’s products are engineered to<br />
provide optimal performance against a wide<br />
range of materials under the most rigorous<br />
metalcutting conditions. In addition to<br />
specially engineered toolholding systems<br />
and a comprehensive line of carbide inserts,<br />
Greenleaf offers high-quality ceramic and<br />
ceramic-composite materials, which can<br />
be custom designed for specific machining<br />
applications.<br />
Greenleaf has multiple products beneficial<br />
to the moldmaking industry including the<br />
Excelerator® Ball Nose End Mills, Excelerator®<br />
XF High-Feed Mills, and the recently<br />
introduced WG-700 Whisker-Reinforced<br />
Ceramic Inserts. Greenleaf’s ball nose end<br />
mills are the only complete line of ball nose<br />
cutters designed to use both carbide and<br />
ceramic inserts in the same qualified cutter<br />
bodies. Greenleaf’s Excelerator® XF cutters<br />
are designed for high-feed milling on a wide<br />
variety of materials including hard steels<br />
and high-temp alloys. All Excelerator® XF<br />
cutters can use Greenleaf’s carbide or whiskerreinforced<br />
ceramic inserts.<br />
Greenleaf introduced the world’s first<br />
reinforced ceramic composite, WG-300®, in<br />
1985, which revolutionized the world of jet<br />
44<br />
engine manufacturing. Greenleaf has followed<br />
up on that success with innovation after<br />
innovation including the newest whiskerreinforced<br />
ceramic insert, WG-700. WG-<br />
700’s substrate benefits from an optimized<br />
whisker load, which improves its crack and<br />
wear resistance while increasing its overall<br />
strength. A new proprietary, nano-layered<br />
coating provides low-friction machining in<br />
wet and dry environments, high temperature<br />
stability, abrasion resistance, oxidation<br />
resistance and chemical inertness. WG-700<br />
is capable of higher metal-removal rates than<br />
other whisker-reinforced ceramic inserts.<br />
From its headquarters in Saegertown,<br />
Pennsylvania, and its office in Schimmert,<br />
The Netherlands, Greenleaf maintains its<br />
commitment to pioneering breakthroughs<br />
in cutting tool technology and delivering<br />
productivity solutions to customers<br />
around the world.<br />
