Hard Steel Cutting Tools
Hard steel refers in particular to hardened steel, bearing steel, die steel and other materials that are known for their high hardness, high strength, almost no plasticity and other characteristics. When cutting these materials, a large cutting force and a high cutting temperature are required, and a normal cutting tool is at an increased risk of cracking and higher wear.
In order to prevent these issues and lower products costs, a cutting insert with a high hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, and a certain bending strength and excellent thermal conductivity are required, such as a PCBN insert. Therefore, when we cut these materials, large cutting force and high cutting temperature are required. If you use normal cutting tools, you will find that blade cracking and wear are common problems. BNS301 and BNW30 and other PCBN inserts made by REALY feature a low PCBN content and a fine grain size. The PCBN content in these cutting inserts is about 50-74%, making them ideal for customers that need to cut hard steel.
REALY has produced the following PCBN inserts for cutting hard steel:(Square PCBN Inserts BNS-30 Series Cutting Tool)
