Insert grades Uncoated CERMET MEGACOAT NANO CERMET A TN610/TN620 PV710/PV720 Insert grades Three attributes of the hybrid technology contributes to superior surface finish and machining stability. 1 Excellent surface finish • Combining the conventional cermet bonded phase (nickel, cobalt) Surface finish comparison Cutting conditions: Vc = 180 ~ 0 m/min (Constant rotational speed), and the special high melting point metallic bonded phase (In-house evaluation) ap = 0.5 mm, f = 0.1 mm/rev, wet, CNMG120404 type, workpiece: C10 • Provides high adhesion resistance to eliminate galling of the PV720 Competitor A workpiece Specialized strengthening technology High melting point Surface finish ø 49 ø0 “Hybrid bonded phase” High speed Conventional bonded phase Low speed Good Bad [µm] [µm] 10 10 Surface roughness 5 5 (ø 4 ~ ø15) 0 0 -5 -5 (Vc = 15 ~ 55 m/min) -10 -10 High melting point metallic bonded phase 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 [mm] [mm] 2 Excellent fracture resistance Improved strength with uniform micro grain hard phase and superior compressive stress with high melting point bonded phase. This combina- tion yields greater fracture resistance.
