Automotive Cutting Tools PCBN Blade Inserts

Significant Improvements in Cycle Time Over Carbide Blades

For the automotive industry, efficient component machining is key to maintaining profitability. Parts such as engine blocks, cylinder heads and brake systems are usually machined from grey cast iron and as such are not suited to the use of cemented carbide blades.

Chain Headway’s PCBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) tools are specially treated to resist edge chipping and typically offer 10-20 times the life of cemented carbide blades in this type of application. This is a massive saving in cycle times and reduces operator intervention requirements significantly. We can adjust the blade profile based on our application experience to ensure it best matches the processing needs for each customer, improving cutting efficiency and tool service life.

For chromium molybdenum alloys or cast iron with a hardness of HRC 45 or more, PCBN tools can also deliver highly efficient processing and are an excellent all round choice for automotive industry cutting tool solutions.
