For austenitic stainless and common titanium alloys, two ZCCCT grades are most frequently quoted:
YBM253 – CVD-coated, medium-tough substrate.
ISO M20-M40, P20-P35. Recommended for continuous and mildly interrupted cuts on 304/316 series. Stocked in CNMG, WNMG, CCMT, DNMG.
YBS303 – PVD TiAlN/TiSiN finish.
ISO S25-S35. Polished flank face reduces edge build-up when machining Ti-6Al-4V or Ti-6242. Available in APKT, SDMT, LNMU styles.
YBS103 – High-speed PVD variant.
Permits 20-30 % higher surface speed on stable titanium workpieces; first choice for light-depth, high-feed five-axis roughing.
CUTOUTIL carries limited, ready-to-ship inventory of the above inserts and can supply small trial packs together with starting cutting data. For stock list or application notes, please e-mail cutoutil@hanvitools.com.
