IS80 CVD Coated Si3N4 IW7 AL2O3+Sic Whiskers
| High Speed Rough Turning | Main Advantages |
| on Grey Cast Iron | • High hardness (Hv 2,100) |
- Multi-layered coating on IS8 matrix
- High fracture toughness due to SiC (silicon
- Roughing and interrupted (1) cutting on cast iron carbide) whisker reinforced ceramics
- Excellent thermal shock resistance, which enables using coolant and interrupted cut machining
- Excellent for roughing and semi-finishing operations at 8-10 times faster cutting speeds when compared with carbide grades
- Good oxidation resistance due to its alumina substrate Cutting Speed (m/min)
IS9 Si3N4 Turning Nickel Based Alloys
- Very tough Si3N4 ceramic grade with high cutting edge stability
- Machining on nickel based high temprature alloys, in roughing to finishing applications
- Honing is the standard edge preparation
