Introduction CBN
Ceramic tools offer high cutting speed and highly efficient
Endmills B4 machining thanks to their outstanding heat resistance and
chemical stability.
Rotating A wide range of tools in various shapes, made of different
Tools types of ceramic including silicon nitride, alumina and whisker

For high-speed cutting of hardened materials and cast irons

This material is made of CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) as the
base component and a special ceramic binder, giving a
high level of hardness at both room and high temperature
ranges. One of its superior features is that it causes very little
chemical reaction with work piece materials.
It is mainly used for machining of materials with high hardness
and high-speed cutting of cast iron.

The carbides in this grade has been developed by reducing the size of the WC hard Insert
grains, which are the main component of cemented carbide, to approximately 1μ. Item List
By coating such carbide by the PVD method with TiN, TiCN, or TiAlN,
these materials are the most suitable for precision cutting and cutting of General Turning
difficult-to-cut materials. Toolholders
PVD coating on such micro grain carbide offers much improved wear
resistance and thermal shock resistance. Unique

For cutting of non ferrous metals and non metal materials Threading

Using non-coated micro-grain ultra-hard carbide, which Shaper
provides ultra sharp cutting edges, this type of carbide usually,
has a mirror-like polished surface.
This type is the most appropriate tool material for machining of
non ferrous metals and resins, where especially sharp cutting
edges are required.

For more information, please go to … D2

For general cutting of steels and cast irons

This type of carbides, suitable for cutting steel and cast iron,
use carbide as the base material with coating applied by the
CVD method for extra wear and heat resistance.

PCD For more information, please go to … C4 Information

For high-speed cutting of nonferrous metals Index

As diamond is the hardest and lowest in affinity with nonferrous metals
cutting material , its deposition resistance as well as wear resistance
is excellent. However, as a tool material, its low toughness and
characteristically low chipping resistance posed problems.
PCD is the material that solved these problems by sintering micro-
grain diamond to make a polycrystalline structure without affecting the
diamond-specific characteristics.
This material allows you to cut non ferrous metals at a higher speed
than carbide cutting tools.

Diamond excels in deposition resistance with its low
affinity and has excellent wear resistance with high
hardness. But it also has a problem with fracture
resistance due to lack of toughness. PCD is the material
solving that problem without lossing original characteristics
of diamond by sintering fine grain diamond and generating
polycrystallization. It enables much higher speed machining
of nonferrous metals compared to carbide.
