Roughing to semi-finishing of heat resistant alloys ｜ BIDEMICS
Finishing Heat resistant alloys
Turning / Grooving / Profiling / Roughing to Semi-finishing
Continuous chips are typical when machining heat resistant alloys but at higher cutting speeds the chips break easily.

Long tool life
JX1 combines strength and excellent thermal conductivity for improved performance compared to whisker ceramics.
BIDEMICS outperformed with dramatically better tool life when run at same parameters as the whisker ceramic insert.
