Features • Honeycomb structure CBN / Ceramic combine a hard, wear-resistant core Shell and a tough shell into one insert. • The tough shell stops cracks that form in the core. • CBN is suitable for interrupted machining of exceptionally hard material and ceramic is suitable for heat-resistant alloys Features of honeycomb structure CBN / Ceramic Classification Grade Color Main component Advantages and applications • Honeycomb structure CBN composite material consisting of wear resistant CBN (core) and tough CBN (shell) Hard materials KBN35M Blackish red CBN • Heat-resistant MEGACOAT on tough Honeycomb structure CBN (MEGACOAT) • Application: Stable machining of hardened steel at interrupted machining Heat-resistantalloys CF1 • Honeycomb structure ceramic composite material consisting of wear resistant ceramic (core) and tough ceramic (shell)GrayCeramic• Application: Machining of heat-resistant alloys like Ni-base heat-resistant alloys KBN35M (MEGACOAT honeycomb structure CBN) Tough CBN (shell) prevents crack growth Internal evaluation Wear-resistant CBN (core) KBN35M Conventional CBN A Conventional CBN A Conventional CBN B Conventional CBN C Tough CBN (shell) 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 35,000 40,000 Number of impacts Application map Hard materials Heat-resistant alloys KBN05M CF1 KS6030 KBN25M KBN10M KS6040 KBN35M Low Fracture resistance (Toughness) High Low Fracture resistance (Toughness) High Continuous Light interruption Interruption Heavy interruption Continuous Light interruption Interruption A18
