Precision Finishing Specialist | UC5115 CVD Grade | 0.4mm Radius
High-Speed Precision in Cast Iron
UC5115 Grade (CVD Coating): Optimized for the K-Class (Cast Iron) range, UC5115 features a thick Alumina layer that provides an exceptional thermal barrier. This prevents the heat generated by abrasive graphite flakes from reaching the carbide substrate, ensuring the insert maintains its shape and precision over long production runs.
CNMG Geometry & Chipbreaker: Unlike flat-top inserts, the CNMG geometry features a molded chipbreaker designed to manage chips at lower depths of cut. This is vital for finishing passes, as it prevents fine, hot chips from scratching the newly machined surface.
0.4mm (1/64") Radius: The small corner radius is specifically selected to reduce radial cutting forces. This is critical when machining thin-walled cast parts or using long-reach boring bars, as it prevents the chatter and vibration that ruin surface finishes.

Recommended Cutting Parameters
*Optimized for finishing. High speeds are required to achieve the best surface finish with UC5115.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gray Cast Iron (GG20/GG25) | 200 - 500 m/min | 0.05 - 0.20 mm/r | 0.20 - 1.50 mm |
| Ductile Iron (GGG50/GGG60) | 150 - 350 m/min | 0.08 - 0.25 mm/r | 0.20 - 1.20 mm |

UC5115: The ultimate general-purpose grade for all cast iron. It offers the shock resistance needed for ductile iron and the wear resistance for gray iron.
MC5015: If you are working exclusively with Gray Cast Iron at ultra-high production speeds, consider MC5015 for even higher abrasive resistance, but avoid it for interrupted cuts.
