COATED CBN SERIES

BC8020 / MBC010 / MBC020
FEATURES

With the expansion of BC8020, Mitsubishi can offer 3 coated CBN grades for machining of hardened steels. These 3 coated CBN grades cover a wide range of applications.

To achieve longer tool life, Mitsubishi uses a unique "Particle-activated Sintering Method", combined with increased cutting edge strength. With high crater wear resistance CBN grades and a wear resistant ceramic coatings, longer tool life and improved machine efficiency are obtained.

FEATURES

Grade Grade Features and Application Main Component Coating Layer
newBC8020 High effi ciency coated CBN
Increased cutting edge strength and high crater wear resistant CBN grade in combination with a highly wear resistant TiAlN coating, results in longer tool life and improved machining efficiency under heavy duty or interrupting cutting.
