SINTERED COMPONENT MACHINING
● Advantages of cutting sintered components with CBN - SUMIBORON CBN - SUMIBORON has much smaller edge wear than carbide or cermet, and also has better wear resistance and can form a sharp edge easily. CBN - SUMIBORON is able to prevent burrs and chipping on the edges of the workpiece, achieving good machining precision and surface roughness.

Cutting Speed v C (SFM)
For general powdered metal, carbide and cermet grades can perform up to v c = 330 SFM. However, around v c =400 SFM, wear becomes rapid and surface roughness deteriorates with increased burrs. On the other hand, CBN (SUMIBORON) exhibits stability and superior wear resistance, burr prevention and surface roughness, especially at high speeds.
