Wear Resistance CBN & PCD TURNING INSERTS PCD (SINTERED DIAMOND) aSuitable for materials such as aluminum alloy, non-ferrous metals, and fibre strengthened plastic. aSuitable for extremely high speed finishing. FEATURES B MD205 Grade Features .984 μinch For Continuous Cutting MD220.394 μinch MD205 Coarse grain diamond particles are sintered and wear resistance isexcellent. Use when wear resistance with MD220is insufficient. MD230.079 μinchMD2030<.039 μinch Materials for General MachiningMD220Sintered medium grain diamond particles. Wear resistance and fractureresistance are superbly balanced. Applicable to general finishing ofnon-ferrous metals, non-metal cutting, and similar machining. For Interrupted Cutting MD230 Fine grain diamond particles are used. Fracture resistance andcutting edge sharpness are excellent. Use when fracture and a high quality finished surface is demanded with MD220. Fracture Resistance For Heavy Interrupted Cutting MD2030 Strong sintering of ultra micro-grain PCD particles provides exceptionalfracture resistance. Chipping during high-speed finish turning can be controlled. y SELECTION STANDARD TURNING Recommended Grade Recommended Cutting Conditions Work Material MD205 MD220 MD2030 Cutting Speed vc (SFM) Feed f (IPR) Depth of Cut ap (inch) Aluminum Alloy (Si < 12%) e u 2625 (655 ─ 3935) ─ .008 ─ .039 Aluminum Alloy (Si >13%) e u 1970 (655 ─ 3280) ─ .008 ─ .039 Copper Alloy e 2295 (655 ─ 3935) ─ .008 ─ .039 Strengthened Plastic e 1970 (330 ─ 3280) ─ .016 ─ .039 Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic e 1640 (330 ─ 2625) ─ .010 ─ .039 Carbon u e 1310 (330 ─ 1970) ─ .012 ─ .039 Ceramics u 165 (100 ─ 260) ─ .004 ─ .039 Hard Rubber e 1970 (985 ─ 2625) ─ .006 ─ .039 Wood Inorganic Board e 4265 (985 ─ 13120) ─ .016 ─ Cemented Carbide e u 50 (15 ─ 65) ─ .008 ─ .020 Note1) e : 1st recommendation. u : 2nd recommendation Note2) Not suitable for steel. y NEW PETIT CUT INSERT SERIES a Economical Low cost is achieved by reducing the area of the diamond sintered body. In addition, tool management is economical because regrinding is unnecessary. aWith Breaker Chip breaker formed directly on the PCD portion delivers superior chip control. a Corner R.002" inserts are available, making it suitable for the machining of small work corner radii.
