Hard Turning

Nowadays, time consuming grinding processes are more and more replaced by hard turning operations. Various work piece profiles with smallest tolerances and different surface qualities can easily be machined without further grinding. Furthermore, dry machining is one positive side effect leading to reduction in production costs.
Tungaloy is a pioneer in the production and development of PCBN and ceramic cutting materials. Already since the early 60ies and 70ies these high performance cutting grades have been produced inhouse and successfully applied in various machining processes. Our know-how and state-of-the-art product research and development enable us to offer PCBN and ceramic cutting materials as complete service package to solve different machining problems. It is the combination of these two exceptional cutting materials which provides for highly economic machining and effective utilisation of both potentials in hard turning for continuous cutting up to heavily interrupted cutting.
