KBH10 Hard Turning Inserts Provide Rxtreme Wear Resistance
Kennametal Inc.’s KBH10 polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) hard turning inserts provide wear resistance needed to turn hardened metals up to 65Rc, especially where very fine surface finishes are required.
Kennametal Inc.’s KBH10 uncoatd polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) hard turning inserts are designed specifically for the challenges of today’s demanding marketplace. These inserts provide wear resistance needed to turn hardened metals up to 65Rc, especially where very fine surface finishes are required.
The substrate has a PcBN composition designed for up to 20-percent higher cutting speeds while providing equivalent or in some cases greater tool life. Because the substrate is available in different geometries and edge preparations, it’s used by manufacturers for many turning applications.
With its edge preparation, rather than the traditional waterfall or radiused hone applied to most PcBN cutting tools, Kennametal has developed a shape that is both sharper and freer cutting than competing solutions, yet still tough enough to withstand the rigors of hard turning.
