Wearable Parts with High Efficiency

At present, wearable castings have been widely used in mining, cement, electricity, road
construction machinery and refractory materials. Wearable castings are difficult to
machine because of the irregular surface, uneven hardness, a large number of hard spots
and other reasons. In addition, when machining the wear-resistant parts, it will produce a
greater cutting force and cutting heat, which will resulting in greater vibration and shock,
will accelerate the wear of the tool, if use ordinary carbide cutting tools, it will often chip,
which will result in processing costs increasing. In view of this phenomenon, We
recommend to use cbn inserts, especially BN-K1.

1. Features of CBN Insert

Cubic boron nitride (CBN) Tool , include solid cbn inserts and PCBN Inserts, PCBN insert
is put cbn layer on the forming tools with brazing method. It has the following advantage:
(1) High strength and wear resistance. The micro hardness of cbn is HRC8000~9000,
only second to diamond. And the wear resistance of cbn insert is higher than carbide
insert, ceramic and diamond, is the main materials for machining cast iron, hardened
steel and other alloy materials.
(2) Good thermal stability. The heat resistance of CBN is up to 1 400 ~ 1 500, it can
maintain the hardness at 1 200, which is almost 1 times higher than the diamond.
CBN tool has the ability to resist periodic high temperature, when used for high-speed
processing high-temperature alloys, the cutting speed will be 4~6 times of the carbide.
(3) Good thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of CBN Insert is much higher than
that of high speed steel, ceramics and cemented carbide, and the thermal conductivity
of CBN Insert increases with increasing temperature.
(4) Strong chemical stability. CBN is chemically inert and is stable in both neutral and
reductive media. It will begin to react with carbons In the case of high temperature of
2000, it is very suitable for processing ferrous metals.

2. The Application Case

Mill Rolls is one of the most important wear resistant parts, the material is BTMCr20,
which include Cr, Ni, Mn and Cu ect materials. The hardness after heat treatment will
above HRC58 and is difficult to machine. The size will be often 1.5~2.4m, the tools will be

Halnn BN-K1 Solid CBN Insert.

The cutting data: cutting depth will be less than 2mm, and the feed rate will be
0.05~0.4mm/r, cutting speed will be 80m/min.

Need to note that: youd better use dry cutting, because cbn insert will react with the water
vapor in the high temperature with 1000. If using cutting fluid, you need to use oil cold
method.

3. BN-K1 Advantages as follow

When machining hard materials, it has good Collapse resistance and High-temperature
fracture resistance which will help manufacturers save product costs.
(1) Suited Materials
BN-K1 Solid CBN Inserts mainly used for machining cold hardened cast iron, high alloy
cast iron ,wear-resistant cast iron, Heat-resistant alloy cast iron, Heat-resistant alloy, High
manganese steel, high-chromium cast iron and Ni-hardened alloy cast iron, ect.
(2) Application industry
Metallurgical Roll, industry pump, Cement machinery, power equipment and mining
machine large scale wear-resistant casting industry, ect.
(3) Cutting Parameters for reference

4. Conclusion
Cubic boron nitride Insert has become a special tool for machining nickel-chrome chilled
cast iron, high-chromium cast iron and already widely used for the wear resistant casting.
Practice has proved that CBN Insert processing efficiency, long tool life, low processing
costs, to solve the processing problems of wearable castings, material cutting is a
technological innovation. In addition, the application of CBN Insert to promote the
development of the coal mill industry, worthy of application promotion.
