Walter has introduced new PCBN grades for improved turning of hardened steel up to 65 HRC. These grades (WBH10C, WBH10 and WBH20) provide users with an array of benefits. High-quality surface finish due to unique new wiper geometry (MW2) and long tool life with the new TiAlSiN-coated grade (WBH10C) are just some of these benefits. Inserts with laser etched chipbreaker geometry TM-M2 are also available.

All inserts are ground for exceptional process reliability. These new grades are available in both positive and negative inserts and are suitable for both continuous and interrupted cuts.

Additionally, Walter has also introduced WBS10, a new PCBN grade for finishing high-temperature superalloys in either continuous or interrupted cuts. Available in both positive and negative inserts, WBS10 features sharp "EM2" microgeometry and superfine grain with ceramic binder.
