Inserts from CeramTec's latest generation of ceramic cutting materials. Designed specifically for high-performance machining of cast iron materials.
SPK® Cutting Materials
Ceramic Inserts for Metalworking
Under the SPK® brand CeramTec offers a unique program in terms of scope, diversity and performance of indexable inserts made of ceramic cutting materials, polycrystalline cubic boron nitrides (CBN) and cermets for turning, grooving, milling and boring in a wide variety of industrial applications.
A cutting material’s performance is the basis for optimum machining of a workpiece. Its use behavior greatly influences the key machining parameters tool life, cutting speed and surface quality. There are so many different machining tasks that can be efficiently and economically solved with CeramTec’s range of cutting materials and indexable inserts for workpieces made of cast iron, steel, hardened steel and special materials. Together with the tool head systems and comprehensive engineering services, CeramTec delivers practical machining solutions designed for very high productivity at low costs.
SPK® Cutting Material Grades and Applications in Machining
Silicon Nitride Ceramics –
Uncoated and Coated
The proven performance standard for efficient machining with indexable inserts made of ceramic cutting materials.
Mixed Ceramics
Mixed ceramics are ceramic cutting materials with exceptional edge stability for precision finishing and roll machining.
Oxide Ceramics
Inserts made from classic ceramic cutting materials for continuous cuts and which are also ideal for grooving.
CBN Cutting Materials
CBN indexable inserts (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) for efficient machining of cast iron materials and sintered steels for turning, milling, boring and grooving.
Cermets
Indexable inserts with very high hardness and wear resistance. An excellent cutting material for finishing in continuous cutting, for medium machining with minimally interrupted cutting and for grooving steel parts.
HD-LINE
The cutting material for hard turning with the highest cutting data, excellent surface quality and optimum wear characteristics.
