Turning cutting insert LKT 100

ceramicfor cast iron

We are expanding our portfolio of high-tech cutting materials with the silicon nitride ceramic LKT 100 for the highly efficient turning of cast iron materials. This cutting material combines the toughness typical of silicon nitride ceramics with increased wear resistance. The improved performance behaviour is achieved through an innovative manufacturing process that allows to influence the composition of the cutting material in the outer functional zone. "LKT100 offers very good toughness with excellent wear resistance and particularly high notch dent resistance. It allows for high metal removal rates resulting in favourable cost-per-part machining. We have developed the new cutting material for turning and boring CI-materials from light to heavy interrupted cuts." Johannes Schneider, Senior Product Manager Cutting Tools
