Kyocera Corporation's (President: Tetsuo Kuba) Cutting Tool Division announces the introduction of two CA45 Series grades for machining cast iron. Featuring the new Bright Black (BB) Coating technology, the CA45 Series improves the cutting tools' resistance to wear and fractures.
The new CA4515 is capable of a wide range of machining – from continuous to heavily interrupted — placing emphasis on reliability in general-purpose materials such as gray cast and ductile cast iron. The new CA4505 grade is capable of high-speed and efficient machining while providing superior wear-resistance and durability.

Development Background
Manufacturers of automotive components continually demand improved machining precision and higher productivity. Accordingly, the need has also grown for improved durability and stability in cutting tools used for machining widely used materials such as gray cast and nodular cast iron.
Kyocera's new BB Coating technology for machining cast iron offers reduced cutting resistance and improved insert durability. This combination leads to increased machining efficiency with improved cost reduction.
New Product Features
|
1. New coating layer developed exclusively for cast iron machining The coating is primarily composed of an ultra-fine TiCN layer, an α-alumina layer, and Kyocera’s proprietary special top surface layer, optimized to provide consistent and extended tool life and improved machining efficiency. The multi-layer coating structure reduces chip adhesion and offers improved anti-peeling performance through an optimal layer composition and surface treatment. |
|
2. Improved adhesion-resistance and anti-layer peeling performance provides consistent and long tool life.
Metallic chips generated during machining can adhere to the insert, resulting in increased cutting-resistance and inconsistent tool life. Kyocera's proprietary Physical Innovation for Coating Advantage (PICA) technology, a special surface processing method, provides both high-quality surface finishes and consistent tool life by controlling chip-adhesion that can lead to sudden insert failure.
