NTK Cutting Tools has released a new proprietary group of advanced composite cutting tool materials called "BIDEMICS." They are designed for machining high nickel alloys used in the aircraft and oil and gas industries. JX1 is the first "BIDEMICS" grade released that has a 1600-SFM speed capability in semi-finish and finish applications vs. whisker ceramics.
The second "BIDEMICS" grade is JP2, a coated multitipped finishing insert which competes directly against carbide and PCBN applications.

cutting tool materials
Cutting tool materials include cemented carbides, ceramics, cermets, polycrystalline diamond, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, some grades of tool steels and high-speed steels. See HSS, high-speed steels; PCBN, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride; PCD, polycrystalline diamond.
- polycrystalline cubic boron nitride ( PCBN)
polycrystalline cubic boron nitride ( PCBN)
Cutting tool material consisting of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride with a metallic or ceramic binder. PCBN is available either as a tip brazed to a carbide insert carrier or as a solid insert. Primarily used for cutting hardened ferrous alloys.
