1. Product Overview
The Kyocera CNMG120404KG CA320 TME01015 is a precision-engineered CVD coated carbide indexable turning insert from the CA3 Series. Designed specifically for cast iron machining, this insert combines a specialized carbide substrate with a multi-layer TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiN coating to deliver exceptional wear resistance, thermal stability, and fracture toughness in demanding applications.
The General Cast Iron chipbreaker (KG) geometry ensures versatile k-series chipbreaker for a wide range of cast iron applications from continuous to interrupted machining. With a 0.4 mm corner radius and 4.76 mm thickness, this insert is optimized for general cast iron turning, continuous to light interrupted, long workpieces.

4. Grade Details – Key Grade Characteristics
CA320 is a premium CVD coated carbide grade from Kyocera's CA3 Series, engineered specifically for cast iron machining. The rose-gold colored coating consists of:
- Micro TiCN Base Layer: Provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance through micro-crystal structure.
- Al₂O₃ Intermediate Layer: Thick alumina coating offers superior thermal barrier properties and crater wear resistance at high cutting temperatures.
- TiN Top Layer: Gold-colored surface layer improves chip flow and reduces built-up edge formation.
The specialized carbide substrate is optimized for cast iron applications, providing the ideal balance between hardness and toughness required for interrupted cuts in nodular cast iron.
| Property | Value | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Coating Hardness | 1,570 HV | Superior abrasion resistance |
| Transverse Rupture Strength | 2,780 MPa | High fracture resistance under impact |
| Fracture Toughness | 15.4 MPa·m¹/² | Reliable performance in interrupted cuts |
| Coating Thickness | 15.0 μm | Extended tool life in continuous cuts |
| Coating Adhesion | +20% vs conventional | Prevents chipping and delamination |
5. Grade Comparison Matrix
Select the optimal CA3 Series grade for your cast iron application:
| Grade | Coating | Hardness (HV) | Primary Application | Machining Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CA310 | TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiN | 1,570 | Gray Cast Iron | Continuous to Light Interrupted |
| CA315 | TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiN | 1,570 | Nodular Cast Iron | Continuous to Interrupted |
| CA320 | TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiN | 1,570 | Nodular Cast Iron | Heavy Interruption / High Speed |

9. Recommended Cutting Conditions
Values below are starting recommendations. Adjust based on machine rigidity, workpiece condition, and desired tool life.
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed Vc (m/min) | Feed f (mm/rev) | Depth of Cut ap (mm) | Coolant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gray Cast Iron (FC200) | 180-250 | 0.10 – 0.45 | 0.5 – 4.0 | Wet / Dry |
| Nodular Cast Iron (FCD500) | 120-180 | 0.10 – 0.45 | 0.5 – 4.0 | Wet / Dry |
| Malleable Cast Iron | 150-200 | 0.10 – 0.45 | 0.5 – 4.0 | Wet / Dry |
| Interrupted Cut (FCD700) | 100-150 | 0.15 – 0.45 | 1.0 – 4.0 | Wet (high pressure) |
Note: For scale-covered or sand-cast surfaces, reduce Vc by 20–30%. For stable continuous cuts, increase Vc by 15–20%.
10. Operating Guidelines
- Toolholder Selection: Use 80° diamond toolholders with IC 12.7 mm pocket. Ensure pocket cleanliness and proper insert seating.
- Cutting Speed (Vc): Start at the lower end of the recommended range and increase based on tool life and surface finish requirements.
- Feed Rate (f): For roughing, use higher feeds with PH/KH chipbreakers. For finishing, reduce feed with WQ/ZS geometries.
- Depth of Cut (ap): Maintain ap ≥ 2× corner radius for optimal edge engagement and chip control.
- Coolant: Wet cutting is recommended for cast iron to control dust and improve surface finish. Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) acceptable for finishing.
- Insert Change: Monitor flank wear (VB). Replace when VB = 0.3 mm for roughing or 0.15 mm for finishing.
- Security: Ensure proper clamping torque on toolholder screw (recommended 3.5–4.5 N·m).
