Key Features:
Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge: The polished, uncoated finish and positive geometry provide an extremely sharp edge for clean shearing of the material, minimizing cutting forces and power consumption.
Prevention of Built-Up Edge (BUE): The sharp, polished surface reduces the tendency of aluminum to stick and weld onto the cutting edge, which is critical for maintaining consistent size and achieving a good surface finish.
Optimized Chip Evacuation: The geometry often includes a chipbreaker designed to produce manageable, well-broken chips in aluminum, even at high feed rates, preventing chip bird-nesting.
High Gloss/Polished Surface: The insert's body is highly polished to a mirror-like finish to further reduce friction and material adhesion.
Applications:
Primary Use: Ideal for high-speed turning, facing, and boring of aluminum alloys, copper, and brass.
Industries: Widely used in automotive (pistons, wheels), aerospace, and general precision engineering where non-ferrous materials are prevalent.
