The Prodec® range comprises stainless steel grades that are optimized for consistently superior machinability.
Download technical machining articleOver the past decade Outokumpu has conducted extensive tests on Prodec® performance against competing bars in the US Market.
Watch the enclosed videos that shows what happens with when running the bars in high speeds. Prodec® bars give amazing 300%–350% longer tool-life than competing bars in the market.
Prodec® stainless steel bars are available in 316L, 304L, 303, and 17-4PH.

Outokumpu has just recently published a Machining Handbook, that introduces special considerations to machining stainless steel. We are happy to offer you a possibility to read an extract of the book. You can get a quick overview of the machining techniques – be it turning, milling, drilling, threading or sawing stainless steel bar.
Please fill in your email address and you’ll be able to download the technical article right away.
Based on V15 testing results you can optimize machining speeds for Prodec® 304L up to 800 sfm. Using higher speeds can lead to significant cost savings per component.
Prodec® can double tool lifetime. Normally, you increase tool life by decreasing cutting speed. With Prodec®, when you increase cutting speed, you increase tool life.
Prodec® expands the machining window, leading to superior chip formation while avoiding built up edge and tool wear.
Fill in your details and we’ll get back to you soon.
Best wishes,
the Outokumpu team
