When machining turned parts with hardened surface layers or with an interrupted cut, users quickly reach the limits of CBN inserts. This is where the new grade comes in. In combination with the fine-grain carbide, the aluminium-titanium-silicon chromium nitride layer delivers high performance when machining hardened steels up to 58 HRC. The maximum allowable temperature is 1,200 degrees Celsius (2,192 degrees Fahrenheit). Due to the high flexural strength of the carbide substrate, (…)
