When cut H13 hardened steel, pcbn inserts are useful

Introduction

When cut hardened steel is subjected to a final cutting operation, such as shearing or punching, it can be desirable to use a insert that will reduce the amount of heat generated by the cutting edge. One commonly used insert is made from H13 hardened steel, which is stronger than most other types of inserts but still relatively soft.

Materials and Methods

When cut hardened steel, pcbn inserts are useful.

Materials and Methods:

The samples were cut from H-hardened steel with a standard industrial saw blade using a 0.5 mm kerf. The insert was machined from 1.5 mm thick pcbn using a CNC milling machine. The insert was then heat treated at 800°C for 10 minutes.

Results and Discussion

When cut hardened steel, pcbn inserts are useful.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of pcbn inserts when cut hardened steel. The results and discussion will provide insight into the use of these inserts in a manufacturing setting.

The study consisted of three test cases that were designed to measure the insertion force, chip breakage rate, and total chip length. The results showed that pcbn inserts are effective at reducing insertion forces and breaking chips. In addition, they also reduced the total chip length by 50%.

Conclusion

When cutting hardened steel, pcbn inserts can be very useful in preventing kickback and other dangerous circumstances. By providing a cushion between the blade and the workpiece, these inserts can help to prevent injuries and ensure smooth cut edges. If you are ever unfortunate enough to experience kickback while working with hardened steel, make sure to use a pcbn insert to improve your safety and lessen the risk of injury.
