What Are Ceramic Inserts Used For

Ceramic inserts for metalworking under the spk brand ceramtec offers a unique program in terms of scope diversity and performance of indexable inserts made of ceramic cutting materials polycrystalline cubic boron nitrides cbn and cermets for turning grooving milling and boring in a wide variety of industrial applications.

What are ceramic inserts used for.

Ntk s premium ceramic grades ensure the user higher productivity. Ceramic plates are a form of composite armor. It s a very hard substance that has for many years been used in grinding wheels. Ntk offers many types of ceramic cutting tool materials silicon nitride based alumina based and whisker based in a variety of.

Products insert grade toolholder. All of the grades show superior high temperature hardness heat resistance and chemical stability. It is commonly used at high speeds on steel cast and ductile iron and high temperature alloys. Basically a ceramic insert is a very fine grained aluminum oxide grinding wheel.

Ceramic plates are commonly used as inserts in soft ballistic vests. The biggest difference between the two cutting tools is that the insert is manufactured without the porosity necessary for grinding. Al2o3 tic composite ceramic commonly known as black ceramic is suitable for machining hardened materials up to 65 hrc. Insert plates may also be made of steel or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.
