Seco-Carboloy introduces grade CBN050C offering a new low CBN-content substrate in combination with a PVD coating that allows for machining in the range of 650 to 825 sfm. The inserts are available in solid, full-face and brazed multi-corner and single tip shapes to suit all hard-finish machining techniques. Cutting edges on round inserts, either solid or full-faced, are clearly marked and each cutting edge on solid and multi-corner formats is visibly identified.
These cutting tools are coated with an (Ti, Si) N coating compared to traditional (Ti, Al) N alloy coatings, giving Seco-Carboloy's inserts increased tool life. The color of the coating provides visual indication of worn edges to the tool operator.
