UC5105 Grade Technology
The UC5105 grade is Mitsubishi's specialized CVD coated carbide for ISO K05-K15 applications. It features a thick, highly crystalline Al2O3 layer that provides exceptional heat resistance. This grade is optimized for high-speed continuous cutting of cast iron where maintaining a sharp edge and resisting crater wear are the primary requirements.
SNMG Double-Sided Geometry
The SNMG geometry offers eight cutting edges per insert, providing excellent cost-per-edge efficiency. The 0.8mm radius is the versatile industry standard for medium roughing to finishing. Mitsubishi's integrated chipbreaker ensures stable chip control, reducing the risk of chip wrapping on the workpiece in automatic lathe operations.
