COATED CBN SERIES

MBC010 / MBC020
FEATURES
mbc010
MBC010
is a coated CBN grade for hardened steels. Offering high wear resistance enabling high-speed cutting.
MBC010 is a micrograin CBN resulting in a "high-grade" for excellent surface finish.
mbc020
MBC020 is a general purpose coated CBN grade suitable for machining hardened steel. It covers a wide range of applications from continuous to light interrupted cutting.
The CBN substrate with high cutting edge toughness and the coating based on MIRACLE coating technology improves wear resistance and allows MBC020 to cover a wider range of machining applications than conventional CBN grades.
Grade Grade Features and Application Main Component Coating Layer
mbc010 Coated CBN for High Speed Continuous Cutting
MBC010 makes the best use of special ceramic binder structure, resulting in high wear resistance. This enables continuous machining at high speed of over 985 SFM.
