Mitsubishi WCGT020102L HTI10
Ultra-Sharp Uncoated Carbide for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metals
The Mitsubishi WCGT020102L HTI10 is a high-precision 80° trigonal positive-type carbide turning insert. Unlike coated grades, the HTI10 uncoated carbide provides an extremely sharp cutting edge, making it the industry standard for non-ferrous metal machining. This WCGT 0.60.50.5L ANSI equivalent is specifically engineered to prevent chip welding when turning aluminum alloys, copper, and brass on precision CNC lathes.

HTI10 Grade & Geometry Analysis
HTI10 Uncoated Carbide: Mitsubishi's HTI10 is a tungsten carbide grade with a fine-grained structure. It is renowned for its high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Because it is uncoated, it maintains a razor-sharp edge that effectively shears soft materials without creating excessive heat, making it the perfect aluminum turning insert.
G-Class Precision: Being ground to G-class tolerances, this insert offers superior repeatability and edge integrity, ensuring that your precision profiling remains consistent throughout high-speed production cycles.
Recommended Cutting Parameters
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) | Depth of Cut (ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Alloys | 300 - 800 m/min | 0.03 - 0.12 mm/rev | 0.1 - 1.0 mm |
| Copper / Brass | 150 - 400 m/min | 0.03 - 0.10 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.8 mm |

HTI10 is the master for non-ferrous metals due to its sharp edge. However, if you are machining hardened steel or require a mirror finish, we recommend the NX2525 cermet grade. For heavy stainless steel cuts, the VP15TF PVD coated grade offers superior thermal protection compared to uncoated carbide.
