BC8100 / MB8100 Series

New Generation CBN Grades

Wear and fracture resistance greatly improved for a wide
range of continuous and interrupted applications.

BC8100 Series

Newly Developed Special PVD Coating

BC8105

Offers excellent surface finishes.
Peeling resistance and adhesion strength are improved by having both lubricity and wear resistance.

BC8110

Chipping caused by built up edge is prevented with improved welding resistance.
Improved wear and adhesion strength to the CBN surface.

BC8120

Chipping caused by built up edge is prevented with improved welding resistance.
Improved adhesion to the coating to the CBN surface enhances peeling resistance.
The CBN is also improved in toughness by adopting new binder and sintering method.

BC8130

Peeling caused by severe impact and chipping are prevented with high fracture resistances.
Improved adhesion strength to the CBN surface.

Optimised Substrate Technology

■ The new ultra micro-particle binder prevents linear crack development to avoid sudden fracturing.

machining.

Wiper Insert

Improving Surface Finish
Under the same machining conditions as conventional breakers, but with the feed rate increased, the surface finish of the workpiece can be improved.

Improving Efficiency
High feed rates not only shorten machining times but also make it possible to combine roughing and finishing operations.

Increased Tool Life
When using at high feed conditions, the time required to cut one component is decreased, thus more parts can be machined with each insert. In addition, the high feed rate prevents rubbing, therefore, delaying the progression of wear and increasing tool life.

Improving Chip Control
Under high feed conditions, the chips generated become thicker and are more easily broken, thus, chip control is improved.
