ISCANITE is a cutting tool material containing over N 6000 90 percent silicon nitride. ISCANITE is produced by unique hot pressing methods to achieve full density, and provides superior toughness along with high 5000 thermal-shock resistance. These characteristics make ISCANITE an ideal cutting tool material with impact resistance near that of coated carbides, and the heat 4000 and wear resistance of aluminum-oxide ceramics. 75kW Which material can ISCANITE machine? 3000 C B ISCANITE is primarily used on cast iron and high temperature alloys, brass and composites. Cutting Force Fc 37kW 2000 Steel is the only material usually avoided because 18.75kW of various chemical incompatibilities. 7.5kW 1000 ISCANITE Benefits A ISCANITE will increase your productivity, reduce your machining costs and can drastically reduce tool forces.

Cutting Speed Vc m/min Machining costs are reduced with increased tool life, along with less downtime for indexing, gauging, and adjustments. Cutting Speed and Cutting Force It is preferable to machine at higher cutting speeds and lower cutting forces (Point A is preferred over Point B.) In this case, pressure is reduced on the workpiece and any tendency of the workpiece to move or vibrate. If the available machine power is higher, or the machine can be stepped up. The use of higher cutting speeds of 750 m/min is possible, with the same cutting force as at Point B. (See Point C.) The positive influence of cutting speed and feed on machining conditions: higher cutting speeds are recommended and possible for silicon nitride inserts. 206 206 ISCAR ISCAR
