Inserts

INSERTS

Cutting blades are essential metalworking tools that are used for cutting and scraping. The metalworking industry materials which are commonly used include carbide, PCD, PCBN, and especially PCBN solid inserts. Carbide inserts possess high hardness and strength, making them suitable for cutting a wide range of metals. PCD inserts are diamond cutters with excellent resistance to wear that are used to process delicate materials. PCBN inserts and PCBN solid inserts offer high precision and thermal stability in hardened metal manufacturing. Choose the suitable type and brand of blades for the application and materials to ensure high-quality processing and safety.

Classification

ADVANTAGES

PCBN INSERTS
  • Extremely hard and wear-resistant, making them ideal for machining hardened steels, cast iron, and other hard materials.
  • High heat resistance, allowing for high-speed machining and longer tool life.
PCBN SOLID INSERTS
  • Higher wear resistance: Solid CBN inserts have a thicker CBN coating on the insert surface, which can provide a longer cutting lifespan.
  • Better thermal stability: The ceramic material used in solid CBN inserts can effectively increase the thermal stability of the insert top, preventing deformation or cracking during high-speed cutting.
  • Higher cutting efficiency: The cutting performance of solid CBN inserts is more stable, which can handle different materials and shapes of cutting tasks well.
PCD INSERTS
  • Extremely hard and wear-resistant, making them ideal for machining non-ferrous metals, composites, and abrasive plastics.
  • High abrasion resistance, providing longer tool life.
CARBIDE INSERTS
  • Toughness and wear resistance, making it ideal for general machining of steels, cast iron, and other materials.
  • Low cost compared to CBN and PCD inserts.
