The Role of Hard Turning Inserts in Modern Precision Machining
Modern manufacturing demands cutting tools that can cut across the toughest of materials that can be accurate, consistent and product efficiently. With the trend towards using hardened steels and other challenging materials, conventional machining may not always offer the right balance of productivity and tool life. This is where Hard Turning Inserts have come into the picture of modern machining. Hard turning is a machining process that is applied to a part that has been hardened usually after heat treating. By using the appropriate tooling, manufacturers can obtain very good dimensional accuracy and surface quality, and may eliminate the possibility of any further grinding operations. The WNGA insert is a robust and well-suited geometry for precision turning, and is often recommended for use in turning applications. The choice of insert depends on the type of material, the hardness, the condition of the machine, the cutting conditions and the desired surface finish. Hard Turning – W...
