1. Product Overview
The Kyocera CNMG120412C CA320 TME00733 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 Purpose chipbreaker (C) geometry ensures balanced chipbreaker geometry for general turning operations with moderate feed rates and stable chip control. With a 1.2 mm corner radius and 4.76 mm thickness, this insert is optimized for general turning, facing, continuous to light interrupted cuts.

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 |

8. Application Map by Operation
| Operation | Suitability | Recommended ap | Recommended f |
|---|---|---|---|
| External Longitudinal Turning | ✓ Primary | 3.0 mm max | 0.4 mm/rev max |
| Facing | ✓ Primary | 3.0 mm max | 0.4 mm/rev max |
| Chamfering | ✓ Secondary | ≤ 2.0 mm | ≤ 0.3 mm/rev |
| Profiling / Copying | ○ Conditional | ≤ 1.5 mm | ≤ 0.2 mm/rev |
| Internal Boring | ○ Conditional | ≤ 2.0 mm | ≤ 0.25 mm/rev |

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 – 0.4 | 0.5 – 3.0 | Wet / Dry |
| Nodular Cast Iron (FCD500) | 120-180 | 0.10 – 0.4 | 0.5 – 3.0 | Wet / Dry |
| Malleable Cast Iron | 150-200 | 0.10 – 0.4 | 0.5 – 3.0 | Wet / Dry |
| Interrupted Cut (FCD700) | 100-150 | 0.15 – 0.4 | 1.0 – 3.0 | 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).
