ISO Insert Series for Cast Iron Turning from Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has launched new ISO inserts to expand the series for cast iron turning.
MC5005, the CVD coated carbide grade for cast iron turning can perform at high speeds normally associated with ceramic grades (up to 600 m/min) and is able to realise high efficiency machining. MC5005 together with MC5015 are designed as coated grades that are able to reduce costs when machining cast iron parts. This is achieved by using high efficiency methods, made possible because of improved tool life and cutting edge reliability.
72 new inserts have been added. These additions further extends the range of sizes of corner geometries, corner radii and chipbreakers available to allow wider range of applications.
Features of MC5005 and MC5015
1. MC5005 achieves outstanding wear resistance by combining the latest coating technologies, an extra thick Al2O3 coating layer.
2. The optimized crystal growth, Nano-Texture Coating Technology gives outstanding wear and chipping resistance.
3. Proprietary TOUGH-Grip Technology prevents the delamination of the coating since the interface between the layers is controlled at the nano level, allowing the TOUGH GRIP layer extremely high levels of adhesion to prevent delamination.
4. Chip breakers for cast iron turning are selectable according to the machining conditions. The chip breaker range is available from a sharp cutting edge type for low cutting resistance through to chip breakers focused on cutting edge strength for interrupted cutting of materials with scale.
