MATERIALS EXPERTISE
We continue to develop new hard material alloys to
meet today’s industry challenges. Tool performance is
crucial when you’re dealing with harder rock and mineral
formations. The cemented carbide insert material’s
resistance to wear and fracturing is particularly important.
Dual Property (DP) cemented carbides are our patented
grades. Their properties are tailored to suit d rilling XT48
conditions causing exceptional load or cemented Sandvik’s standard cemented carbide grade for most

especially when drilling in rock that is not fully known.

DP65
DP65 has similar toughness to XT48 but considerably
higher wear resistance. This grade should be your first
choice when drilling in very abrasive rock with large
spherical inserts.
