WhyPCBN&PCD?
ALL SET TO MEET CRITICAL NEEDS OF MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY, TODAY !!
PCD which is the hardest known substance has a hardness of about 6000 kg/mm2, the hardness of CBN (second hardest known substance) is about 4500kg/mm2. This, in addition to many other extreme properties, makes it the ideal cutting tool material for hard, abrasive workpieces. PCBN has greater chemical and thermal stability than diamond, which dissolves in iron and has a maximum temperature limit of approximately 700°C (1300°F).
LOW MACHINING COST
★ For turning it allows,
“Soft turn” and “hard turn” on same the machine.
★ Lower cost of tooling inventory.
★ Metal removal rates are 4-6 times greater.
★ Turning in complex contours is easier.
★ Multiple operations, performed in a single setup. ★ Easier to configure changes.
TOOLS THAT OFFER ENHANCED EFFICIENCY
★ Up to 8 edges per insert.
★ Low per-unit production cost.
★ Better surface finish due to finer microstructure.
★ Excellent toughness permits interrupted cutting.
★ The excellent hardness provides superior edge wear. ★ Chips take heat away from the part and tool.
