SNMG120404-MA UC5115
Mitsubishi Materials | The Precision Standard for Cast Iron Machining
The Mitsubishi SNMG120404-MA UC5115 is a high-stability indexable turning insert designed specifically for cast iron finishing and medium cutting. Utilizing the specialized UC5115 CVD coating, this insert excels in the machining of gray cast iron (FC) and ductile iron (FCD). With its precise 0.4mm corner radius and MA chipbreaker, it provides the ultimate solution for operators requiring high dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish in challenging cast materials.

UC5115 Grade Advantage
The UC5115 grade is Mitsubishi's specialized CVD coated carbide for ISO K15-K25 materials. It features a robust TiCN + Al2O3 coating structure that provides exceptional heat resistance and suppresses thermal cracking. This makes it the "stable workhorse" for interrupted turning or machining ductile iron where mechanical shock is frequent.
MA Precision Geometry
The MA chipbreaker is a versatile medium-cutting geometry that excels in chip control. When paired with a 0.4mm radius, it provides lower cutting resistance, making it ideal for thin-walled parts or finishing passes. This geometry prevents chip entanglement and preserves the quality of your CNC turning projects.
