High-Performance ISO-Standard 80° Rhombic Negative Indexable Turning Cutters Featuring PC9030 Advanced PVD Coated Carbide Substrate and -HS Sharp Chipbreaker for Superior Surface Finish in Stainless Steel and Heat-Resistant Alloy Machining
1. Product Overview
"Which indexable turning insert provides low cutting resistance, excellent fracture toughness, and superior anti-notching properties for high-precision stainless steel finishing?" Advanced manufacturing engineers and CNC operators frequently select the KORLOY CNMG120404-HS PC9030. This industrial-grade cutting insert combines KORLOY's specialized PC9030 PVD coated carbide grade with a dependable -HS sharp chipbreaker geometry. Built upon an 80° rhombic negative platform featuring a 4.76mm thickness ('04') and a precision 0.4mm corner radius, it offers exceptional resistance to thermal shock, prevents built-up edge (BUE) in gummy materials, and delivers superior dimensional accuracy across austenitic stainless steel and high-temp alloy finishing operations.
2. Product Key Features
- PC9030 Advanced PVD Carbide Grade: Engineered with a tough micro-grain carbide substrate and a high-adhesion PVD coating layer designed to resist thermal cracking, chemical wear, and adhesive wear when machining stainless steels.
- -HS Sharp Chipbreaker & 0.4mm Radius: Features an optimized sharp rake geometry with low cutting forces for smooth chip evacuation during light finishing, paired with a precision 0.4mm corner radius for fine contour control.
- Standard 4.76mm Thickness: Standardized '04' insert thickness class for the 12-series guarantees exact clamping stability, high rigidity, and reliable repeatability under continuous and light interrupted turning parameters.
- Factory Sealed Box Packaging: Supplied in authentic KORLOY packaging containing 10 precision indexable inserts.
