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.
Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
