Machining cast stainless steel requires turning inserts with high wear resistance and toughness to ensure stable cutting and reduce tool wear. Below are the key features of inserts suitable for cast stainless steel:
- High-hardness alloy material: such as TNMG160408 MS RMC8825, suitable for machining 303, 304, 316L, and other stainless steel grades.
- Special chip-breaker groove design: Ensures smooth chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge affecting machining quality.
- Heat-resistant coatings (e.g., TiAlN, TiCN): Improve wear resistance and heat resistance, suitable for high-speed machining.
