Material Representative Grades / H Hardened Steel Work Application Examples Hardened Steel Grades BNC2010 / BNC2020 / BN1000 / BN2000 BNC2010:For high-precision finishing requiring good surface roughness and dimensional accuracy. Enables stable machining and provides excellent surface roughness thanks to coating and CBN substrate with excellent notch wear resistance. A Grades BNC2020:General purpose grade suitable for typical hardened steel machining applications. Achieves long tool life thanks to highly- wear-resistant and highly-adhesive coating and tough CBN substrate with excellent wear resistance and bonding strength. BNC2010 / BNC2020 BN1000 :For high speed machining. Provides the highest wear resistance of all uncoated SUMIBORON grades. Features improved fracture resistance while still placing a priority on wear resistance. Steel BN2000 :General purpose grade suitable for typical hardened steel machining applications. Provides a high degree of fracture and wear resistance.
