Hard part turning, along with the machining of cast irons, high-temp alloys, and non-ferrous materials, can be accomplished through the use of inserts made from advanced materials. These advanced materials include ceramics, PcBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride), and PCD (polycrystalline diamond). Widia offers Improved performance. Greater wear resistance. Longer tool life. Ceramic Inserts Silicon-nitride based ceramic for cast iron machining. Mixed ceramic for hard machining and finishing of cast iron. Whisker ceramic for high-temp alloy and hard machining.
