Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Advanced Materials & Tools Company has added BC8110, a coated CBN grade for the GY series grooving system.

The existing GY Series has received a favourable reception as a grooving system that offers the ultimate in rigidity with a unique clamping technology called TRI-LOCK. This modular type holder system realizes high efficiency machining.

The coated CBN grade BC8110 prevents linear crack development that can cause sudden fracturing and achieves a stable tool life when turning high hardened steels. This new grade has been added to the GY series to complement the existing range of grooving tools.

Features of Insert Series for Steel Turning

• The newly developed special ceramic coating improves wear and chipping resistance.
• Dispersal of the new Ultra Micro-particle Binder in BC8110 prevents linear crack development that can cause sudden fracturing.
• Improved adhesion to the CBN surface provides increased peeling resistance
