Hardened Steel
Grades BNC2010 / BNC2020 / BN1000 / BN2000 A
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. 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.
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. BN2000 :General purpose grade suitable for typical hardened steel machining applications. Provides a high degree of fracture and wear resistance.
