ISO Designation Breakdown

The designation is structured according to ISO 1832 standards, providing a complete technical fingerprint of the insert:

Engineering Dimensions & Geometry

The features precision-ground geometry optimized for . Key dimensional specifications include:

• Shape: with ° included angle
• Inscribed Circle (IC): — determines holder pocket size and tool reach
• Thickness (S): — provides insert rigidity and heat capacity
• Nose Radius (r): — influences surface finish and edge strength
• Hand: — compatible with corresponding toolholder orientation
• Cutting Edges: Multiple usable edges per insert for cost efficiency

The geometric tolerances meet ISO 1832 Class H standards, ensuring interchangeability across qualified toolholders and consistent cutting edge positioning.

Grade Details — Key Grade Characteristics

represents Kyocera's advanced grade technology for steel machining. The substrate combines high hardness with excellent toughness, while the multi-layer coating provides superior thermal insulation and chemical stability at elevated cutting temperatures.

Key performance characteristics of grade :

• Substrate: Fine-grained with high cobalt content for toughness
• Coating Architecture: Multi-layer with TiN/TiCN/Al₂O₃ layers
• Hardness: Optimized balance between hardness and fracture resistance
• Thermal Resistance: Superior oxidation resistance up to 900°C cutting temperatures
• Application Range: General to interrupted machining of carbon steel, alloy steel, and cast steel
• Post-Coating Treatment: Specialized surface finish to reduce built-up edge and adhesion

Grade Comparison Matrix

Note: Grade is positioned as a versatile, high-reliability grade for general steel machining with excellent interruption tolerance due to its thickened alumina coating and specialized post-treatment.

Chipbreaker Profile

chipbreaker geometry delivers consistent chip formation for . The optimized profile balances cutting force reduction with edge integrity for extended tool life.

Technical characteristics of the chipbreaker:

• Chipbreaker Code:
• Intended Application:
• Chip Control Range: Optimized for standard feed rates in steel
• Surface Finish Capability: Good to excellent depending on feed and speed selection
• Edge Strength: Balanced for reliability in continuous and light interrupted cuts

Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials

The with grade is specifically recommended for the following applications and materials:

• Primary Operations:
• Workpiece Materials: Carbon steel (C45, C50), alloy steel (4140, 4340), tool steel, cast steel, and general structural steels
• Material Hardness Range: Up to 350 HB (ideal range 150–280 HB)
• Operation Type: Continuous cutting, light interrupted cutting, and high-speed finishing
• Industry Sectors: Automotive, aerospace, general engineering, energy, and metal fabrication

Application Map by Operation

Recommended Cutting Conditions

Recommended cutting parameters for the in steel machining:

• Cutting Speed (Vc): 150–280 m/min for continuous cutting; 120–200 m/min for interrupted cutting
• Feed Rate (f): 0.15–0.40 mm/rev depending on chipbreaker geometry and depth of cut
• Depth of Cut (ap): 0.5–4.0 mm for general applications; up to 6.0 mm for heavy roughing
• Coolant: Wet cutting recommended for optimal tool life and surface finish; high-pressure coolant enhances chip evacuation

Operating Guidelines

For optimal performance with the :

• Ensure toolholder rigidity and minimal overhang to reduce vibration
• Use precision insert seating to maintain consistent cutting edge height
• Verify chipbreaker orientation matches cutting direction
• Monitor flank wear (VB) and replace insert when reaching 0.3 mm wear land
• Maintain coolant flow to cutting zone to prevent thermal cracking
• Store inserts in original packaging to protect cutting edges from damage

Toolholder Compatibility

Toolholder requirements for :

• Pocket style: with ° included angle
• Insert size: ( inscribed circle)
• Hand:
• Thickness compatibility:
• Clamping type: Lever lock or screw clamp depending on holder design

Always use genuine Kyocera toolholders or precision-manufactured equivalents to ensure insert seating accuracy and cutting performance.
