Secomax™ CBN170, designed to be the 1st choice in continuous semi-finish and finish turning of hardened nickel based superalloys 01:36

Superalloys are commonly classified as “difficult-to-machine” alloys. They describe a broad range of nickel, iron and cobalt based alloys developed specifically for applications demanding exceptional mechanical and chemical properties at elevated temperatures.

The SECOMAX grade CBN170 is the world’s first grade with a whisker reinforced binder.

This unique composition makes the inserts withstand the high forces, the high temperatures and the abrasiveness associated with machining of hardened nickel-based superalloys.

CBN170 is available in three different formats.

• Solid inserts.
• All corners on the insert are usable.
• Tipped inserts.
• All MDT-inserts are tipped on one side.
• Multi-tipped inserts.
• A solid tip is brazed onto a carbide blank. Both sides of the insert are usable.
