Grade Details – Key Grade Characteristics
Grade CA515 is a PVD-coated carbide grade optimized for steel and stainless steel machining. The multi-layer coating provides excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and low friction at high cutting temperatures.
- Substrate: Fine-grained tungsten carbide (WC-Co) with high cobalt content for toughness
- Coating: Multi-layer PVD (TiAlN-based) for high-temperature hardness and wear resistance
- Hardness: ~1,600 HV (Vickers) – ideal for high-speed continuous cutting
- Transverse Rupture Strength: High TRS for interrupted cuts and stable performance
- Color Code: Bronze-gold (PVD coating identifier)
Grade Comparison Matrix
| Attribute | Grade CA515 | Typical Competitor Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Wear Resistance | ★★★★★ Excellent | ★★★★☆ Good |
| Toughness / Chipping | ★★★★☆ Very Good | ★★★☆☆ Moderate |
| Heat Resistance | ★★★★★ Excellent | ★★★★☆ Good |
| Surface Finish | ★★★★★ Excellent | ★★★★☆ Good |
| Price / Value | ★★★★★ Best-in-class | ★★★☆☆ Average |
Chipbreaker Profile
PX – Heavy-Duty Roughing
- Land Width: Optimized for stable chip curling and controlled breakage
- Groove Depth: Medium-to-shallow profile for steel machining
- Chip Control: Excellent across recommended feed range (fn 0.20–0.60 mm/rev)
- Rake Angle: Positive rake design for low cutting forces and reduced heat generation
Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials
| Material Group | ISO Code | Machinability | Recommended? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel / Low-Alloy Steel | P.1 – P.3 | Excellent | ✓ Primary |
| High-Alloy Steel / Tool Steel | P.4 – P.5 | Very Good | ✓ Recommended |
| Stainless Steel (Austenitic) | M.1 – M.2 | Good | ✓ Suitable |
| Stainless Steel (Martensitic) | M.3 | Good | ✓ Suitable |
| Cast Iron (Grey / Ductile) | K.1 – K.3 | Good | ✓ Suitable |
Application Map by Operation
| Operation | Suitability | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| External Turning | ★★★★★ Ideal | Primary application for this geometry |
| Internal Turning (Boring) | ★★★★☆ Very Good | Use with appropriate boring bar |
| Facing | ★★★★☆ Very Good | Excellent chip evacuation |
| Profiling / Contouring | ★★★★☆ Very Good | Nose radius 0.8 mm provides smooth transitions |
| Grooving / Parting | ★☆☆☆☆ Not Recommended | Use dedicated grooving inserts |
Recommended Cutting Conditions
Values are starting recommendations for continuous cutting in ISO P materials (steel). Adjust based on machine rigidity, coolant, and workpiece condition.
| Parameter | Symbol | Recommended Range | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cutting Speed | Vc | 120–200 | m/min |
| Feed Rate | fn | 0.20–0.60 | mm/rev |
| Depth of Cut | ap | 2.0–8.0 | mm |
Operating Guidelines
- Coolant: High-pressure coolant (70–100 bar) recommended for best chip control and tool life. Flood coolant acceptable for general applications.
- Tool Overhang: Minimize overhang to reduce vibration. Keep L/D ratio below 4:1 for boring bars.
- Insert Seat: Ensure toolholder seat is clean and free of chips before clamping. Use torque wrench for screw clamping (recommended 2.5–3.5 N·m).
- Edge Preparation: Do not touch the cutting edge with bare fingers. Oils can cause thermal cracking during initial cuts.
- First Cut: Reduce feed by 20% for the first 30 seconds to "break in" the edge, then increase to full parameters.
- Inspection: Check flank wear (VB) every 15–20 min. Retire insert when VB reaches 0.3 mm or when chipping occurs.
Toolholder Compatibility
| Holder Type | Compatible Series | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| External Turning (95°) | MCLNR / MCLNL (CN** 16 / 19) | Standard 95° toolholder for CN inserts |
| External Turning (93°) | MCBNR / MCBNL | For facing and profiling operations |
| Internal Boring (93°) | S16Q-SCLCR / S20R-SCLCR | Use with matching insert size (12 / 16 / 19) |
| Screw Clamp | Standard lever-lock or top-screw | Ensure correct chipbreaker orientation |
