Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Advanced Materials & Tools Company has launched three new types of chipbreaker for the cermet grade NX2525 that is suitable for turning steels and cast iron materials.
Cermet grades are ideal for finishing and light cutting due to their excellent in high temperature hardness when compared with cemented carbide. Additionally it is able to maintain high quality surface finishes.
NX2525 has highly hardened Ti compound particles within its microstructure therefore the grade has both excellent wear and fracture resistance properties.
To allow a wider range of chip control, the FY breaker for mild steel finishing, plus the SY breaker for light cutting and also the SA breaker for carbon and alloy steels light cutting have been added to the NX2525 range.
Features of FY, SY and SA breaker
1.The new three breakers cover copying and back turning due to the wavy edge design.
2. The FY breaker effectively controls adhesive chips and is suitable for finishing mild steel.
3. The SY breaker effectively controls adhesive chips and is suitable for light cutting of mild steel.
4. The SA breaker offers superior chip control at small depths of cut when light cutting carbon and alloy steels.
