INSERT SHAPE (C): 80° RHOMBIC (DIAMOND) SHAPE PROVIDING EXCELLENT CUTTING EDGE STRENGTH.
CLEARANCE ANGLE (N): 0° NEGATIVE CLEARANCE ANGLE DESIGNED TO PERMIT DOUBLE-SIDED USE AND OFFER MAXIMUM BACKUP RIGIDITY (PROVIDES MULTIPLE CUTTING EDGES).
TOLERANCE CLASS (M): CLASS M GEOMETRIC SPECIFICATION FOR PRECISE FLANK MOUNTING REPEATABILITY.
CROSS-SECTION DESIGN (A): FLAT-TOP GEOMETRY WITHOUT A BUILT-IN CHIPBREAKER, INTENDED FOR CHIP BREAKING VIA THE APPLIED TOOL PATH FEED OR BRITTLE METALS.
CUTTING EDGE LENGTH (12): NOMINAL CUTTING EDGE LENGTH MEASURING 12.9 MM (INSCRIBED CIRCLE OF 12.7 MM / 1/2 INCH).
THICKNESS (04): STANDARD INSERT THICKNESS MEASURING 4.76 MM (3/16 INCH).
CORNER RADIUS (08): PRECISION NOSE RADIUS OF 0.8 MM (1/32 INCH) ENGINEERED FOR HIGH-STRENGTH EDGES, ROBUST ROUGHING PATHS, AND INCREASED FEED RATES.
MATERIAL GRADE (A65): A PREMIUM CERAMIC SUBSTRATE (TYPICALLY AN AL2O3 ALUMINA MATRIX REINFORCED WITH SIC SILICON CARBIDE WHISKERS). THIS GRADE OFFERS EXTRAORDINARY RED-HARDNESS AND THERMAL-SHOCK RESISTANCE TO WITHSTAND EXTREME CUTTING TEMPERATURES.
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS & ADVANTAGES
MATERIAL SUITABILITY: SPECIALLY ENGINEERED FOR ISO K (CAST IRON, DUCTILE IRON), ISO H (HARDENED STEELS EXCEEDING 50-65 HRC), AND NICKEL-BASED AEROSPACE EXOTIC SUPER-ALLOYS (INCONEL, RENE).
HIGH-SPEED CAPABILITY: RUNS AT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER SURFACE FOOTAGE (SFM) COMPARED TO STANDARD CARBIDE INSERTS, LEVERAGING HIGH CERAMIC STABILITY TO MELT AND EFFORTLESSLY SHEAR HARDENED MATERIAL.
ROBUST EDGING: THE 0.8 MM CORNER RADIUS OFFERS INCREASED CRATER WEAR RESISTANCE AND BLADE TOUGHNESS COMPARED TO THE SMALLER 0.4 MM ALTERNATIVE.
