Metal ceramic inserts are widely used positive angle precision machining lathe blades.
CCGT0602 belongs to small-sized inserts (with an inscribed circle of 6.35mm), and the rounded corners of the cutting edge are usually 0.1mm, 0.2mm, and 0.4mm.
Processing scenario: Suitable for precision machining with small margins and low feed rates, such as precision turning or boring of small diameter parts.
CCGT09T3 belongs to the medium specification insert (with an inscribed circle of 9.525mm), and the rounded corners of the cutting edge are usually 0.2mm and 0.4mm.
Processing scenarios: With a wider range of applications, it can be used for normal precision machining. However, due to the relatively sharp edge of the blade, if the margin is uneven, there may be a risk of insufficient blade strength. In this case, CCMT groove shape can be considered for use.
❌ Conditions to avoid:
Rough machining:
It is not suitable for rough machining processes with large cutting depth and feed rate.
Intermittent cutting:
The toughness of metal ceramic materials is relatively lower than that of hard alloys. When processing surfaces with cast black skin, keyways, and other intermittent surfaces, it is easy to cause blade breakage. Extra care should be taken or a grade with better toughness should be selected.
Wet cutting:
Due to its weak resistance to thermal shock, the intense alternation of hot and cold when using cutting fluid may cause thermal cracks in the blade. When conditions permit, dry cutting is the more recommended method.
