Silicon Nitride Series: Key Benefits
- Long tool life at high speeds
- Broad speed and feed ranges
- Offers superior roughing and finishing capabilities
SX5 - Machine Hi-Nickel Based Alloys
SX5 is a composite ceramic cutting tool material
developed for high speed machining of nickel based alloys. SX5 is
capable of machining materials such as Inconel 718 (45HC) at speeds up
to 10 times faster than carbide. SX5 shows excellent notching
resistance.
Applications:
- Rough finish
turning or Ni-based alloys
- Milling of
Ni-based alloys
SX1
SX1 is an extremely wear resistant silicon nitride
ceramic, sintered by a special HIP process. SX1 combines both toughness
and wear resistance especially in applications where casting sand is
encountered.
Applications:
- Rough finish
turning of gray cast iron
- Milling of gray
cast iron
SP1, SP2
Both SP1 and SP2 are extremely pure grades of silicon
nitride. The multi-coated ceramic gold coating extends tool life over a
broad range of cutting speeds and makes edge wear easily detectable.
Use SP1 for higher speeds and where toughness is needed.
Applications:
- Rough and finish
turning ductile and gray cast irons
SX8
SX8 is our toughest silicon nitride ceramic. This
material is sintered by a special HIP process that combines both
toughness and wear resistance for longer tool life. Designed for use on
gray cast iron, SX8 is the perfect choice for both high speed
interrupted turning and milling. SX8 can be used with or without
coolant.
Applications:
- Rough turning
and milling of gray cast iron
