Inserts

CBN Grade WBH20C Indexable Inserts

WBH20C WL25 indexable inserts are full-radius copy turning inserts with Walter Lock positive engagement. The WL positive engagement provides maximum stability and precision for reliable machining of contours. With pocket support right under the cutting edge, and exceptional ability to prevent vibrations; the WL positive engagement is substantially better than the conventional V-shaped or even full radius grooving inserts.

EcoCut-P

The coating’s mechanical post-treatment induces a unique state of residual stress in the layer surface, which in turn increases process security. The DRAGONSKIN grade CTCP425-P with advanced AL2O3-TiN CVD coating is particularly well suited for when uninterrupted cuts are required. It delivers excellent wear resistance even at increased cutting speeds.

KBN020 CBN Grade

KBN020 excels as a 1st choice, general purpose CBN grade with a broad application range from continuous to heavily interrupted machining. Utilizing innovative new layering techniques, Kyocera has developed the MEGACOAT TOUGH coating technology. This coating combines a highly wear-resistant layer on the surface adhered to high-content CBN which is used to toughen up the edge for greater fracture resistance when encountering interruptions.

MP6 Geometry

To cover the widest possible range of applications, Walter offers the MP6 geometry in CCMT, DCMT, TCMT and VBMT basic shapes. Its short protective chamfer, which is characteristic of roughing inserts, ensures a high strength of cutting edge, even in challenging conditions, for example when machining forged parts or components with interrupted cuts. The 18° positive rake angle ensures excellent chip control during medium machining.

AH8000 PVD-Coated Grade Inserts With SDM Chipbreaker

SDM chipbreaker features unique T-land with variable widths and optimized rake angle that provide the insert with resistance against notch wear. Difficult metals like HRSAs are prone to cause notch wear on the insert cutting edge that can severely deteriorate insert tool life. A combination of SDM geometry and the AH8000 grade series will substantially extend tool life and provide superior predictability.
