Carbide Insert For Interrupted Cuts - Tough Grade

Carbide Insert for Interrupted Cuts - Tough Grade

Premium Tough-Grade Carbide Inserts for Heavy Interruptions & Maximum Uptime

When the cut is stop-go, the insert must be TOUGH.
Our Carbide Insert for Interrupted Cuts – Tough Grade is micro-grain WC–Co produced by 10-MPa hot-isostatic pressing, then TiAlN/TiSiN nano PVD coated for 1 200 HV surface hardness. The result: 35 % higher transverse-rupture strength than standard CVD inserts, 40 % longer tool life on scale, forgings, cast skins and cold-work seams-exactly the pain-points of interrupted cuts.

Key Advantages
✓ Sub-micron substrate-TRS ≥ 3 800 MPa
✓ High-edge-toughness geometry eliminates micro-chipping
✓ Nano-PVD coating resists thermal fatigue at 900 °C
✓ Mirror-polished flank reduces built-up edge on low-carbon steels
✓ Stocked in 40 standard shapes for instant dispatch

Typical Applications
• Face milling of forged crankshafts
• Rough turning of weld-overlayed rolls
• Grooving of nodular cast-iron hubs
• Interrupted cut gear-hobbing on 42CrMo4
• Heavy-duty milling of ASTM A36 flame-cut edges

Customer Success Snapshot
"Tool life jumped from 18 to 27 parts after we swapped to CUT-TG1 CNMG120408. Edge chipping on the forging skin disappeared completely."
