NX2525 Cermet Grade & Geometry Details
NX2525 Uncoated Cermet: Mitsubishi’s NX2525 cermet grade is a Ti(CN) based material that bridges the gap between carbide and ceramic. Because it has a low affinity for workpiece materials, it virtually eliminates built-up edge (BUE). This is critical for dimensional accuracy and maintaining a consistent, high-gloss finish over long production runs.
Precision Ground Geometry: The G-class tolerance ensures extremely tight repeatability. Its sharp cutting edge is optimized for light cutting depths, allowing for exceptional chip control even at ultra-low feed rates without sacrificing surface quality.
Recommended Cutting Parameters
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) | Depth of Cut (ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon/Alloy Steel | 120 - 280 m/min | 0.05 - 0.15 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.7 mm |
| Stainless Steel (Finishing) | 100 - 180 m/min | 0.05 - 0.12 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.5 mm |
System Optimization
Maintain maximum rigidity in precision turning by pairing this WCGT 0.60.51L insert with our high-quality internal boring bars or external holders.

NX2525 is the industry standard for mirror-finish precision turning. If your application involves interrupted cuts or requires more shock resistance, consider the NX3035 grade. For non-ferrous metals (Aluminum/Brass), we recommend switching to the HTI10 non-coated carbide grade for the sharpest edge integrity.
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.
