WIDIA CBN POSITIVE
Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
Pertanyaan umum tentang WIDIA CBN POSITIVE dari 3G Electric.
What materials are WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts designed to machine?
WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts are engineered for machining hardened steels (45–65 HRC), tool steels, and cast irons. The cubic boron nitride tip provides high hot hardness and wear resistance, making these inserts suitable for hard turning applications that would rapidly degrade carbide tooling. They are commonly used for finishing operations on components such as gears, shafts, and dies.
What do the insert codes like TCGW2151S0415MT mean for WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts?
The insert codes follow ISO 1832 standards. For example, TCGW2151S0415MT: T indicates triangle shape, C indicates clearance angle (7°), G indicates tolerance class, W indicates chipbreaker style. 2151 denotes insert size (inscribed circle diameter and thickness). S0415MT specifies the CBN grade (S), edge hone radius (0.0415 inch), and edge preparation (MT). These codes help match the insert to the workpiece and machining conditions.
Can WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts be used for interrupted cuts?
WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts are primarily designed for continuous finishing cuts on hardened materials. For interrupted cuts, such as keyways or splines, a tougher CBN grade or a different edge preparation may be required. The positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces, but interrupted cuts can cause chipping. Consult the insert specifications or 3G Electric for application-specific recommendations.
What is the difference between triangle (T) and diamond (D) shaped WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts?
Triangle (T) inserts, such as TCGW, have three cutting edges and are typically used for general turning and facing operations. Diamond (D) inserts, such as DCGW and CCGW, have two cutting edges and provide better access to tight corners and smaller diameters. The choice depends on the workpiece geometry and toolholder compatibility. Both shapes are available in the WIDIA CBN POSITIVE line.
How should WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts be stored to maintain performance?
Store WIDIA CBN POSITIVE inserts in their original packaging in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Avoid exposure to moisture, which can cause corrosion on the carbide substrate. Keep inserts away from abrasive dust and impacts that could damage the CBN tip. Proper storage ensures consistent cutting performance and extends insert life.
Does 3G Electric supply WIDIA CBN POSITIVE products?
