April 1, 2005
Kyocera Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, CERATIP Cutting Tool Division, is
pleased to announce the release of the highly anticipated CA5515
and CA5525 medium temperature CVD coated carbide grades suitable
for high-speed machining of a wide range of steels.
The technologically advanced coating system of the CA55 series goes
above and beyond anything available in the market today. The extra
smooth outer TiN coating reduces cutting forces, resists adhesion,
and prevents sudden fracture. An Al2O3 layer combats crater wear and
dissipates heat leading to longer tool life. The fine columnar TiCN
layer assists in increasing toughness and wear resistance. As a result,
these new products offer stable processing of steel where both
continuous cutting and interrupted cutting processes are involved.
Also introduced is the new PS chipbreaker. This versatile chipbreaker
complements the CA55-series grades for greater reliability in light to
medium roughing. The reliability comes from a wide contact surface for
stability in the pocket and a land providing good balance of sharpness
and durability. The PS chipbreaker and the CA55-series coated carbide
grades are offered in a wide variety of geometries.
