Grade Details — Key Grade Characteristics
CA515 is a high-performance PVD-coated carbide grade specifically developed for steel turning applications. The coating architecture consists of a nano-layered TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) structure deposited over a fine-grain tungsten carbide substrate.
- Coating: Multi-layer PVD TiAlN (≈ 3.5 µm total thickness)
- Substrate: Fine-grain WC-Co (6% Co binder) with 1.2 µm grain size
- Hardness: 1,650 HV (Vickers hardness)
- Transverse Rupture Strength: 3,200 MPa
- Oxidation Threshold: 850°C (1,562°F)
- Thermal Conductivity: 45 W/(m·K)
- Coefficient of Friction: 0.35 (dry against steel)
- Color Code: Bronze-copper (typical TiAlN appearance)
Grade Comparison Matrix
| Grade | Coating | Substrate | Best For | Speed Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CA515 | PVD TiAlN | Fine-grain carbide | Steel turning, general to finishing | Medium–High |
| CA510 | PVD TiAlN | Ultra-fine carbide | Hardened steel >45 HRC | High |
| CA520 | PVD TiAlN+TiN | Tough carbide | Interrupted cuts, roughing | Low–Medium |
| CA530 | CVD Al2O3+TiCN | Medium carbide | High-speed steel turning | Very High |

Recommended Cutting Conditions
High-feed geometry optimized for roughing and heavy interrupted cuts.
| Parameter | Roughing | General | Finishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cutting Speed (Vc) | 100 m/min | 100 – 200 m/min m/min | 200 m/min m/min |
| Feed Rate (fn) | 0.50 mm/rev mm/rev | 0.15 – 0.50 mm/rev mm/rev | 0.15 mm/rev |
| Depth of Cut (ap) | 5.0 mm mm | 1.0 – 5.0 mm mm | 1.0 mm |
| Coolant Recommendation | Emulsion 6–8% / 80–100 L/min | Emulsion 5–7% / 60–80 L/min | Emulsion 4–6% / 40–60 L/min |
| Entry Strategy | Ramp entry at 45° | Direct plunge or ramp | Direct plunge at reduced feed |
Operating Guidelines
- Tool Overhang: Keep toolholder overhang to ≤ 1.5× shank diameter for external turning; ≤ 4× for internal boring.
- Insert Seating: Clean seat pocket with compressed air before insert change. Verify no chip residue under seating surface.
- Torque Specification: Tighten clamping screw to 2.5–3.0 N·m (11 mm insert) or 3.5–4.5 N·m (16 mm insert).
- Edge Preparation: Do not re-sharpen or re-coat. Kyocera CA515 inserts are designed for single-use indexing.
- Index Frequency: Index every 30–60 minutes of cutting time or when flank wear (VB) exceeds 0.20 mm.
- Surface Finish Tip: For best Ra values, use highest possible cutting speed within recommended range and lowest consistent feed.
- Safety: Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during insert indexing. Handle carbide with care—edges are extremely sharp.
Toolholder Compatibility
This V-Insert insert requires V-type (35°) toolholders with 60° wedge clamping.
| Holder Series | Shank Size | Insert Size | Clamping |
