M-class negative inserts added to the NX3035 cermet turning series
September 03, 2007
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently developed and
manufactured new M-class negative inserts for the NX3035 cermet series.
A total of 132 items will start to be sold by Mitsubishi Materials Tools
Corporation (President: Osamu Takata, Headquarters: 1-6-1 Yokoami, Sumida-ku,
Tokyo).

The NX3035 cermet series for steel turning that was launched in July 2006,
offers excellent cutting edge stability even when using coolant. An area
where the use of conventional cermet grades results in unstable and unpredictable
tool life.
The NX3035 series is now supplemented with 132 different types
of M-class negative inserts in addition to the previous range of 226 items.
Key features of the new cermet grade, NX3035 for steel
turning
- 1.
- Special alloy binder
Cermet is a composite material made of hard particles such as titanium
carbo-nitride (TiCN) based ceramics and a metallic binder such
as Ni. The new NX3035, uses a special alloy binder that offers
even higher thermal conductivity and bonding strength and as a
result, NX3035 delivers highly improved thermal shock resistance
with reduced thermal cracking. This enables the NX3035 to exhibit
a high degree of tool life stability even when wet machining, an
area where conventional cermet grades lack in performance.
- 2.
- Optimised alloy structure
By forming the alloy structure from particles of an appropriate size,
high resistance to crack development and thermal conductivity is
maintained. This results in the rigidity and thermal-shock resistance
of NX3035 being higher than conventional cermet grades. NX3035
displays excellent fracture resistance under various cutting conditions,
ensuring improved cutting edge stability.
