Recommended for semi-interrupted cuts

Versatile CBN designed for machining hardened materials at 55 HRC or above with light to medium interruptions

Features

  • CBN with a special TiCN binder achieves a combination of wear resistance and fracture resistance
  • Stable performance through light to medium interrupted machining
  • G6L (coated CBN):
    A special hard TiCN layer prevents a chemical reaction between the CBN and the iron in the work piece during material removal
    G37 (uncoated CBN):
    Ideal for machining the hardened material layer

Edge preparations

Performance comparison by edge preparation

As the edge preparation increases the tool pressure on the insert increases.
[ Cutting conditions ] SCM415(HRC63-65)  vc=200m/min  f=0.1mm/rev  ap=0.2mm  DRY
[ Insert ] TNGA160408
There is a direct correlation between an increase in the edge preparation and improvement of insert fracture resistance.
