  • High hardness and fracture resistance enable effective machining of hardened steels and high hardness metallic materials.
  • High wear resistance and thermal stability ensure long tool life and consistent performance, even in high-speed machining.
  • Good chemical stability makes PCBN inert to iron family elements, reducing the risk of chemical reactions during machining.
  • Good weldability allows for easy tool reconditioning and extended tool life.
  • Excellent dimensional control and consistent surface finish deliver precision and accuracy in machining operations.
  • Higher material removal rate and increased efficiency result in improved productivity and reduced machining time.

 

Applications

PCBN is widely used in various industries for machining high hardness and hard processed ferrous materials. PCBN is suitable for machining various workpieces, including brake discs, brake drums, engine blocks, engine cylinder liners, engine covers, flywheels, gears, and mould and die parts. No matter the complexity or hardness of the workpiece, PCBN tools provide precise cutting solutions, ensuring optimal results. Some of the key applications include:

 

  • Machining of hardened steels and high hardness metallic materials, providing excellent cutting performance and precision.
  • High-speed machining of grey and hard cast iron, high-strength cast iron, cold and hot-work tool steels for efficient and productive operations.
  • Machining of powder metal alloys, such as heat-resistant sintered alloy and Iron-based materials, ensuring superior results in challenging machining scenarios.
  • Machining of nickel and cobalt-based super alloys commonly used in aerospace and other high-performance applications, delivering exceptional performance and tool life.

Quality Assurance

Our commitment to excellence is evident in every stage of our production process. Before our PCBN inserts are approved for use, they undergo a series of stringent tests to ensure their performance and durability. Our dedicated quality control team meticulously inspects each insert, conducting tests such as hardness assessment, dimensional accuracy verification, edge integrity analysis, and surface finish evaluation. These tests enable us to maintain the highest standards and guarantee that our PCBN inserts meet the demanding requirements of precision machining. With our unwavering focus on quality, you can trust that our PCBN inserts will consistently deliver exceptional results, maximizing your productivity and minimizing downtime.
