In the modern mechanical manufacturing industry, CBN (cubic boron nitride) inserts and ceramic inserts are two very typical types of cutting tool materials. With performance surpassing traditional cemented carbides, they have become essential tools for machining difficult-to-cut materials such as high-temperature alloys and hardened steel. >>
Throughout the turning process, cutting parameters encompass cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The selection of these parameters directly affects machining efficiency, machining quality, and tool life. The ideal cutting state includes: short cutting time, long tool life, and high cutting accuracy. To achieve good cutting results, reasonable cutting parameters must be selected based on the workpiece material, hardness, shape, and machine tool capability. >>
Within the entire cutting system, the proper use of the cutting tool significantly impacts the final cutting results. To fully leverage the characteristics of PCBN tool material, besides rationally selecting high-speed, high-rigidity machine tools and choosing appropriate tool material grades and cutting edge parameters, reasonable cutting parameters should also be selected based on specific machining conditions to better "match" the workpiece material being machined. >>
Sintering synthetic diamond under high temperature and high pressure produces polycrystalline diamond (PCD). PCD possesses excellent mechanical properties, such as extreme hardness and wear resistance, high thermal conductivity, and a low coefficient of friction. Based on these properties, PCD cutting tools have found wide applications in industry. >>
High-speed machining is a method of metal processing utilizing CNC machine tools, characterized by higher cutting speeds and feed rates. Consequently, the requirements for cutting tool materials are very stringent. Proper selection of cutting tool materials is crucial for ensuring the quality of high-speed machining. >>
Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) is a superhard material composed of diamond powder and a cemented carbide substrate compounded under high-temperature and ultra-high-pressure conditions. It is widely used in industries such as petroleum and geological exploration, and mechanical machining tools. The cemented carbide substrate material, with its excellent toughness, hardness, and weldability, provides a solid foundation for the PDC. >>
PCBN (Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride) inserts are ultra-hard cutting tools synthesized from cubic boron nitride (CBN) micro-powder and binders under ultra-high temperature and pressure. They are primarily used for machining difficult-to-machine materials such as cast iron and hardened steel. >>
However, although both PCD and PCBN belong to the category of superhard insert materials, they differ greatly in their cutting applications. When choosing between a PCD insert or a PCBN insert, it is essential to determine based on the actual machining situation to achieve better machining results. >>
Determining the optimal cutting parameters for CBN inserts is a dynamic process requiring comprehensive consideration of factors related to the workpiece, tool, machine tool, and machining requirements. Always use the recommended parameters provided by the CBN tool manufacturer (Berlt) as the starting point. Then, based on specific on-site conditions, through careful test cuts, meticulous observation, and systematic adjustments, find the optimal balance point among efficiency, cost, and quality. >>
In the realm of efficiently processing high-hardness, high-wear-resistant materials, cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools have emerged as a critical solution due to their exceptional performance. Zhengzhou Berlt’s series of CBN insert grades, through scientifically optimized CBN content and binder formulations, enable targeted high-efficiency machining of cast iron materials (gray iron, wear-resistant alloy cast iron, high-chromium cast iron, ductile iron, chilled cast iron, etc.) and hardened steels (quenched steel, bearing steel, high-speed steel, high-manganese steel, wear-resistant steel, etc.). This offers manufacturing users more reliable and cost-effective solutions. >>
To ensure excellent wear resistance in CBN composite tool materials, Zhengzhou Berlt conducts extensive experimental analysis on every factor involved in the production process, laying a solid foundation for high-quality CBN composite tool materials. >>
Zhengzhou Berlt's black DL8500 series CBN monocrystals utilize premium-grade hBN with complete crystal structure and minimal impurities. Through optimized synthesis protocols developed over years of research, the process employs highly active lithium-based multicomponent composite catalysts. Precise temperature control with uniform chamber heat distribution ensures controlled nucleation, followed by high-pressure phase transformation from hexagonal to cubic structure and crystal growth. The resulting black CBN crystals exhibit distinct edges, multiple crystal faces, and exceptional impact resistance. >>
