Hardened Steel Chipbreaker and Grade Selection Guide for Turning

Hardened Steel

Grades BNC2010 / BNC2020 / BN1000 / BN2000

BNC2010 : For high-precision finishing requiring good surface roughness and dimensional tolerance. Maintains excellent surface roughness thanks to coating with high boundary wear resistance and CBN substrate. BNC2020 : General-purpose grade suitable for typical hardened steel machining applications. Achieves long tool life thanks to highly wear-resistant, highly adhesive coating and tough CBN substrate.

BN1000 : For high-speed machining, BN1000 provides the highest wear resistance of all uncoated BNC2010 / BNC2020

SUMIBORON grades, improving fracture resistance while maintaining an emphasis on wear resistance. A

BN2000 : General-purpose grade for general hardened steel machining with a high degree of fracture and wear resistance.
