Grade Details - Key Grade Characteristics
The KW10 grade is a fine-grained uncoated tungsten carbide (WC-Co) substrate classified under ISO K10. Key characteristics include:
- High hardness (HRA 91.5) with excellent wear resistance
- Fine grain structure (0.5-0.8 μm) for sharp cutting edges and mirror finish
- Optimal cobalt binder content (6%) balancing toughness and hardness
- Uncoated surface prevents built-up edge (BUE) on aluminum and titanium
- Chemically stable at high temperatures, ideal for non-ferrous machining
Grade Comparison Matrix
Select the optimal grade for your workpiece material and cutting conditions:
| Grade | ISO Class | Coating | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| KW10 | K10 | Uncoated | Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous, Non-Metals, Titanium |
| KW20 | K20 | Uncoated | General Purpose, Interrupted Cutting |
| CA310 | P10 | CVD | Steel, Stainless Steel |
Chipbreaker Profile
The B chipbreaker geometry features a precisely ground groove and land configuration designed for excellent chip control in external turning applications. The chipbreaker width and depth are optimized for the 0.2mm corner radius, ensuring manageable chip forms across the recommended feed range. This profile minimizes cutting forces and reduces heat generation at the tool tip.
Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials
- Cast Iron: Gray cast iron (GG20-GG40), nodular cast iron (GGG40-GGG70) — stable cutting, excellent finish
- Aluminum Alloys: 1xxx, 2xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx series — prevents BUE, mirror finish
- Copper & Brass: Pure copper, brass (CuZn), bronze — clean cutting, no edge buildup
- Titanium Alloys: Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn — chemically stable, reduced diffusion wear
- Non-Metals: Plastics, composites, graphite — sharp edge prevents delamination
Application Map by Operation
| Operation | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| External Turning | ★★★★★ Excellent | Primary application, continuous to light interrupted cuts |
| Facing | ★★★★★ Excellent | Triangular geometry ideal for facing to center |
| Profiling | ★★★★☆ Very Good | 0.008" radius enables fine contouring |
| Copying | ★★★★☆ Very Good | Stable for form turning and copy lathe work |
| Back Boring | ★★★☆☆ Good | Use with appropriate back boring bar, moderate depths |
| Undercutting | ★★★☆☆ Good | Suitable for groove undercuts with reduced depths |
Recommended Cutting Conditions
Starting parameters for wet and dry machining. Adjust based on machine rigidity and workpiece condition:
| Parameter | Cast Iron | Aluminum | Titanium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cutting Speed Vc (m/min) | 80-200 | 160-400 | 48-120 |
| Feed fn (mm/rev) | 0.08-0.25 | 0.08-0.25 | 0.06-0.20 |
| Depth of Cut ap (mm) | 0.2-2.0 | 0.2-2.0 | 0.1-1.0 |
Operating Guidelines
- Use sharp, rigid toolholders with minimal overhang to prevent vibration
- For cast iron: dry cutting recommended; for aluminum: use air blast or mist coolant
- Titanium machining: use generous coolant flow to prevent heat buildup and work hardening
- Ensure secure clamping; verify insert seat cleanliness before mounting
- Index insert when flank wear reaches 0.2-0.3mm or when surface finish degrades
- Store inserts in original packaging away from moisture and corrosive environments
Toolholder Compatibility
STGCR, STGCL, MTJNR, MTJNL series toolholders with 60° triangular pocket. Compatible with standard DIN 4973 (ISO 5611) shank sizes.
Ensure the toolholder pocket angle matches the insert included angle (60°). Verify clamping screw torque per manufacturer specification (typically 2.5-4.0 N·m for M2.5 screws).
