CARBIDE — Tungsten Carbide with the addition of titanium carbide, tantalum carbide and cobalt as binding agents. Depending on the ISO Group, these are suitable for rough- and finish-boring of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. CERMET (CT) — A combination of titanium carbide and titanium nitride. They have high thermal and abrasion resistance and are suitable for finish-boring and light rough-boring of steel at high cutting speeds. CUBIC BORON NITRIDE (CBN) — This CBN grade feature an extremely high wear resistance and is suitable for finish-boring hardened steels up to 70 HRC and hard nickel alloys. CUBIC BORON NITRIDE (CBN-CH) — Suitable for high-speed finishing gray cast iron in optimal conditions, this type features a T-land edge prep for superior wear resistance. CUBIC BORON NITRIDE (CBN-CHN) — Cast iron grade with radius honed cutting edge for suitable for high-speed finishing of gray cast iron in less-stable conditions. POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND (PCD) — Extremely hard and abrasion-resistant cutting edge for high-speed finish boring of non-ferrous materials and composites.
