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
