Series Overview & Technological Features

Kyocera's milling insert series are designed to meet diverse industrial machining demands, focusing on reducing cutting resistance and enhancing stability[citation:1].

• Advanced Coating Technology: Features PVD and CVD coatings (like PR1210, CA5525) with specialized microstructures (e.g., micro-columnar coating structure) to significantly improve toughness and wear resistance, enabling higher speeds and extended tool life[citation:1][citation:9].
• Low-Resistance Chipbreaker Design: Specially designed chipbreakers (e.g., EK, HQ style) effectively lower cutting resistance, ensure stable chip control, and improve surface finish quality[citation:1][citation:3].
• Wide Application Range: Suitable for various milling operations such as face milling, back milling, T-slot milling, and chamfering on materials like cast iron, steel, and even titanium[citation:3].
• Diverse Geometry & Grades: Offers multiple cutting edge geometries, rake angles (positive/negative), and dedicated grades tailored for specific materials (ISO P, M, K) and machining conditions (finishing to roughing)[citation:1][citation:3][citation:9].

Primary Milling Insert Series & Specifications

Kyocera's milling insert portfolio includes several key series, each optimized for particular machining styles and material removal rates[citation:1].

Applications & Technical Guidance

• Primary Work Materials: Carbon & Alloy Steels (P), Stainless Steel (M), Cast Iron (K), Heat-Resistant Alloys (S), Non-Ferrous (N), Titanium[citation:3].
• Common Milling Operations: Face Milling, Shoulder Milling, End Milling, Profile Milling, Chamfering, Back Milling, T-slot Milling[citation:3].
• Cutting Direction & Geometry Selection: Many inserts are neutral/neutral cutting for flexibility. Select positive rake for lower cutting forces on less rigid setups or difficult-to-machine materials; negative rake for higher rigidity and stronger cutting edge on stable setups[citation:3].
