CNMG160616-GH UC5115
The Cast Iron Heavyweight | UC5115 High-Speed CVD | GH Heavy Duty Geometry
Optimized for Abrasive Cast Iron Machining
UC5115 Grade (The Wear Specialist): The UC5115 is a specialized CVD-coated grade designed specifically for K-Class (Cast Iron). Cast iron is inherently abrasive, which rapidly dulls standard inserts. UC5115 features a thick, heat-resistant alumina ($Al_2O_3$) layer that maintains edge hardness even at high cutting temperatures, allowing for significantly higher cutting speeds and extended tool life.
GH Chipbreaker (Heavy Roughing Power): The GH geometry is Mitsubishi's strongest chipbreaker for CNMG inserts. It features a wide, reinforced land and a negative rake angle at the very edge to resist crater wear and mechanical shock. This is the "beast mode" geometry for removing massive amounts of material from rough castings.
1.6mm (1/16") Reinforced Radius: The large 16-radius is built for maximum feed rates and edge durability. It effectively dissipates heat and spreads the cutting pressure across a wider area, preventing the catastrophic tip failure common when roughing uneven casting surfaces.
Metric vs. Imperial Comparison
| System | Model Designation | I.C. (Inscribed Circle) | Thickness | Radius (RE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metric | CNMG160616-GH | 15.875 mm | 6.35 mm | 1.60 mm |
| Imperial | CNMG544-GH | 5/8" | 1/4" | 0.063" (1/16") |
Heavy Roughing Cutting Parameters
*The UC5115 grade excels in dry or wet cutting. For Grey Cast Iron, dry cutting is often preferred to prevent thermal shock.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grey Cast Iron (HT250/GG25) | 150 - 350 m/min | 0.30 - 0.70 mm/r | 2.00 - 8.00 mm |
| Ductile Cast Iron (QT450/GGG40) | 120 - 280 m/min | 0.25 - 0.60 mm/r | 2.00 - 6.00 mm |

Shop DCLNR 16 HoldersPro-Tip: UC5115 vs. UC5105
UC5115 (The Tough Workhorse): This grade is the standard for cast iron roughing. It handles interruptions and varying depths of cut better than UC5105.
UC5105 (The High-Speed Finisher): Switch to UC5105 only for continuous, ultra-high-speed turning in stable Grey Cast Iron applications to achieve maximum wear resistance.
