New MB8210 and MB8220 CBN grades for turning high-hardness steels

New MB8210 and MB8220 CBN grades for turning high-hardness steelsMITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATION, Metalworking Solutions Company (President: Kazuo Ohara, Address: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) will start to sell the new CBN grades MB8210 and MB8220 for turning high-hardness steels from July 16th, 2024.When turning high-hardness steels, crater wear tends to progress during machining, and chipping and fracturing may occur due to impact. The new CBN grades MB8210 and MB8220 use a heat-resistant binder that improves heat resistance and suppresses the progress of crater wear. The ultrafine-grain binder also suppresses cracking and provides a long tool life with stable machining performance.Main features of the MB8210 and MB8220 CBN grades1.Use of a heat-resistant binder also reduces the progress of crater wear.2.By dispersing an "ultrafine binder" and fine CBN particles in the CBN base material, the development of cracks are suppressed and sudden fracture during cutting is prevented.Product Name : MB8210 and MB8220 CBN grade for turning high-hardness steelsMB8210 43 itemsMB8220 37 items Total 80 itemsRelease Date : July 16th, 2024Standard Price : NP-CCGW03S102FS2 MB8210 4,810 JPY (5,291 JPY including taxes)NP-TPGB110308FS3 MB8210 7,610 JPY (8,371 JPY including taxes)NP-CNGA120408GA2 MB8220 5,310 JPY (5,841 JPY including taxes)NP-TNGA160404GA3 MB8220 6,890 JPY (7,579 JPY including taxes)
