A Hard Advantage
PCBN (Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride) is an ISCAR PCBN and ceramic inserts are the first
excellent choice of material for producing cutting choice for HPT at high cutting speeds and are
tools, particularly as it can be used at extremely available in a wide range, including:
high cutting speeds. Second to only synthetic
diamond on a scale of hardness, PCBN is 1.Brazed PCBN - Carbide as a base with brazed
characterized by its innate durability, as well as CBN tips or top layer for finishing operations. PCBN INSERTS
its thermal shock and chemical resistance. 2.Solid PCBN - for more aggressive
machining conditions.
ISCAR offers a wide range of PCBN and 3.Coated / Uncoated Ceramic inserts - for
ceramic grades for HPT (Hard Part Turning). different kind materials.
HPT refers to the turning of difficult materials 4.Dimple Ceramic inserts - for high
such as hardened steels (45 up to 70HRC), feed machining.
