Mitsubishi Materials | The Standard for High-Precision Cermet Finishing
The Mitsubishi SNMG120404 NX2525 is a premium cermet turning insert engineered for high-speed precision finishing. The NX2525 grade is a TiCN-based cermet that provides an excellent balance of toughness and wear resistance. Unlike standard carbide, this cermet grade features a low chemical affinity for steel, which prevents built-up edge (BUE) and results in an exceptional mirror surface finish on carbon and alloy steel components.

NX2525 Cermet Material
The NX2525 grade is Mitsubishi's micro-grain cermet (Ceramic-Metal). It is optimized for ISO P25 steel applications. Cermet provides superior crater wear resistance compared to standard carbide. Because it resists heat better than tungsten carbide, it maintains sharp cutting edges at high cutting speeds, making it the top choice for precision steel finishing.
Finishing Chipbreaker
The SNMG geometry features a double-sided, 8-edged design for maximum economy. The integrated chipbreaker is designed for light finishing. It ensures effective chip breaking even at small depths of cut, preventing long, stringy chips from scratching the workpiece surface during high-precision CNC turning.
