Ceramic Series: Key Benefits
- Excellent wear resistance and long tool life
- Stability over a wide variety of machining
applications
- Produces excellent surface finishes
HC1, HW2
HC1 is a HIP (Hot Isostatic Press) processed highly pure
(Al2O3) white alumina
ceramic. This sintering process results in a highly dense and fine
grain structure which improves wear resistance, tool life, and
toughness. HW2 is similar to HW1. Use HW2 in applications were
increased toughness is required.
Applications:
- General turning
and boring of gray cast iron
- Rough and
finished cylinder liner materials
- Tube scarfing
HC2, HC5, ZC4
These grades of ceramic consist of properly proportioned
aluminum oxide and titanium carbide (Al2O3+TiC) sintered under
pressure. The resulting products are stable over a vast range of
machining conditions. HC2 is a general purpose ceramic. HC5 is a
premium grade for hard turning in steel mills. Gold coated
ZC4 has the finest grain structure which is best suited for hard
turning versus CBN applications.
Applications:
- General turning
and boring of gray cast iron
- Turning of hard
materials (under HRC65)
HC6
HC6 is a unique (TiC) ceramic composite material. This
grade is specifically designed to machine ductile cast iron. It
demonstrates superior wear at high speeds. As an added benefit, this
ceramic produces excellent surface finishes. HC6 toughness and thermal
shock resistance surpasses standard Al2O3
and TiC ceramics HC6 can be run with or without coolant.
Applications:
- Semi-finish and
finish turning of ductile cast iron
- High speed
cutting of gray cast iron
