RNGN 120400 Round Solid CBN Turning Insert for Turning of Slurry Pump and other Chromium CI Materials

Round Solid CBN (cubic boron nitride) is second only to diamond in hardness. CBN is a synthetically produced material for stable machining due to its high thermal conductivity. High hardness results in superior wear resistance and long tool life. High-speed cutting is applicable to heat-treated steel and cast iron. Heat conductivity is good, and prompt heat evacuation and stable cutting are possible. Since it was first introduced as a cutting tool material in the 1980s, the use of cubic boron nitride (CBN) has evolved to become a common machining solution. The application areas include hardened steels, cast irons, heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA), and powdered metals. These workpiece materials have one thing in common; they are generally recognized as being difficult to machine. A CBN insert can withstand the high cutting temperatures and forces and still retain its cutting edge. This is why CBN delivers a long, consistent tool life and produces components with an excellent surface finish.
