Hardened Steel BNC160

Bearing Steel

High precision machining with surface finishes

down to 1,6 Rz possible thanks to smooth coating!

General

Use the copper coloured Sumiboron grade BNC160 to

improve surface integrity as well as machining accuracy.

The TiCN based smooth surface ceramic coating and the

newly developed Sumiboron substrate enhances edge

strength and wear resistance making high precision machining

with surface finishes as low as 1,6Rz readily achievable.

This new grade is ideal for turning components that previously

relied on precision grinding machines for final machining.

Advantages Excellent surface roughness!

- l

A consistent surface roughness is maintained for hours because wear at the boundary is

so gradual.

l High Precision Machining

High precision work previously ground, can now be turned.

l Enlarged scope of application!

A wider range of hardened steels can be cut using Sumiboron the result being high

productivity on close tolerance machining applications.
