CBN cutting hardened steel: the leader of superhard tools

As a material with high strength and hardness, quenched steel has a wide range of applications in the industrial field. However, due to its extreme hardness and easy wear, traditional tools are often unable to meet the needs of efficient machining of hardened steel. This article will focus on the characteristics and advantages of CBN cutter grains in the field of hardened steel processing, as well as its wide application in the processing of high hardness materials.

Advantages of CBN Inserts

CBN (cubic boron nitride) cutter grain is a new type of superhard material, which is widely regarded as an ideal choice for machining high hardness materials such as hardened steel. Compared with traditional knives, CBN knives have the following advantages:

1. Superhardness: The hardness of CBN cutter grain is close to that of diamond, which enables it to achieve high-efficiency cutting on hardened steel and other high-hardness materials and maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge.

2. Wear resistance: CBN grains have excellent wear resistance, which can prolong tool life, reduce replacement times and downtime. 

3. Thermal stability: CBN cutter grains can maintain good hardness in high-temperature cutting environments, and are not easy to anneal and wear, which is conducive to improving cutting quality.

4. Strong adaptability: CBN cutter grains are suitable for various types of hardened steel materials, and can meet diverse processing needs.

Application of CBN Inserts in Processing of Quenched Steel

CBN cutter grains have been widely used in the processing of hardened steel, and have achieved remarkable results, which are manifested in the following aspects:

1. Efficient processing: CBN cutter grains have high cutting speed and feed speed, which can quickly and efficiently cut hardened steel and improve production efficiency.

2. Excellent processing quality: CBN cutter particles can achieve high-precision cutting, ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of hardened steel parts, and improve product quality and reliability.

3. Reduce cutting vibration: CBN cutter grains have good rigidity and stability, which can reduce cutting vibration and surface burrs, and ensure the stability and controllability of the processing process.

4. Long tool life: The wear resistance advantage of CBN Insertsgrains enables it to prolong the service life of the tool, reduce cutting costs and replacement times, and improve production efficiency.

Selection and Application Suggestions of CBN Inserts

When selecting and applying CBN cutter grains for hardened steel machining, the following recommendations need to be considered:

1. Select the appropriate CBN cutter grain according to the specific hardened steel material and processing requirements, including the grain type, edge shape and blade size, etc.

2. Set appropriate cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth, to ensure processing quality and improve processing efficiency.

3. Regularly check the wear of CBN cutter grains, and replace the blades in time to maintain the cutting effect and tool life.

4. Combined with the actual situation of hardened steel processing, optimize the processing technology design and tool path to improve the processing effect and product quality.

As the leader of superhard tools, CBN cutter particles have shown excellent performance and wide application prospects in hardened steel processing. Vic Tools will combine the actual needs of users, select appropriate tools and processing solutions, and provide high-quality and high-efficiency solutions for hardened steel processing.
