Roughing Powerhouse | UC5115 CVD Grade | 1.2mm Heavy-Duty Radius
Engineered for Maximum MRR
UC5115 Grade (CVD Coating): The UC5115 is a high-performance CVD-coated grade optimized for K-Class (Cast Iron) materials. It features a specialized thick Alumina layer that provides extreme heat resistance. This allows the insert to withstand the high temperatures generated when machining abrasive Gray Iron and high-strength Ductile Iron without losing edge hardness.
CNMG Geometry & Roughing Chipbreaker: This insert features a robust chipbreaker designed for medium-to-heavy roughing. The 80-degree diamond shape provides four usable cutting edges with high structural integrity, ensuring stable chip control even at deep depths of cut.
1.2mm (3/64") Heavy-Duty Radius: The larger 1.2mm radius is the key to this insert's success in roughing. It strengthens the corner against thermal cracking and chipping, enabling the operator to push higher Feed Rates (fn) while maintaining a stable cutting edge through surface scale and interruptions.
Metric vs. Imperial Comparison
| System | Model Designation | I.C. (Inscribed Circle) | Thickness | Radius (RE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metric | CNMG120412 | 12.7 mm | 4.76 mm | 1.20 mm |
| Imperial | CNMG433 | 1/2" | 3/16" | 0.0472" (3/64") |
Recommended Roughing Parameters
*The 1.2mm radius generates significant radial forces. Ensure your setup is rigid and the machine has sufficient torque.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gray Iron (GG25/Class 35) | 150 - 450 m/min | 0.25 - 0.60 mm/r | 1.20 - 5.50 mm |
| Ductile Iron (GGG60/80-55-06) | 120 - 320 m/min | 0.20 - 0.50 mm/r | 1.20 - 4.50 mm |

UC5115: Use this for general-purpose roughing where toughness is required. It is highly reliable for interrupted cuts and ductile iron.
MC5015: Choose this for pure high-speed stable turning of gray iron where wear resistance (crater wear) is the primary concern and production volume is high.
