B6K/B36For light to medium interrupted machining ｜ CBN for machining hardened material

High performance, low cost CBN

Recommended for semi-interrupted cuts

Versatile CBN designed for machining hardened materials at 55 HRC or above with light to medium interruptions

Product video

Features

  • CBN with a special TiCN binder achieves a combination of wear resistance and fracture resistance
  • Stable performance through light to medium interrupted machining
  • B6K (coated CBN):
    A special hard TiCN layer prevents a chemical reaction between the CBN and the iron in the work piece during material removal
    B36 (uncoated CBN):
    Ideal for machining the hardened material layer
