Steeltec LCP15T
Efficiency increase in steel machining by no less than a third
…with the new Boehlerit cutting inserts Steeltec LCP15T, brand new turning grades and geometries for steel turning applications that are designed for a straight, uninterrupted cut.
An innovative, harder gradient hard metal ensures extra-high safety while the MT-CVD carbide layer is more resistant to wear and tear and ensures higher cutting speeds, in particular through an increase in the share of the TiCN layer. At the same time, Boehlerit has replaced HV2700Kappa Al2O3 (HV2350) with the more wear-resistant Alpha Al2O3 and increased layer thickness by 25%. “The higher the process temperature, the greater the level of isolation”, explains Heinz Gaber from Boehlerit Product Management in Kapfenberg, Austria.
FP = Fine ISO P, for the fine turning of steel with straight cuts.
FMP = Fine Medium ISO P, for fine and medium intermediate geometries.
MP = Medium ISO P, for medium steel machining.
MRP = Medium Roughing ISO P, for roughing intermediate geometries.
RP = Roughing ISO P, as a variant for heavy roughing.
BC / BCU = Boehlerit Copy Universal, for copying geometries with good chip-breaking properties. It is considered a real problem solver for steel and super alloys
In addition to harder metal and increased layer thickness, the new geometries that were developed in the chip channel also increase efficiency considerably. Using a high-speed camera, the breaking of the chip was analysed meticulously for each turning application to determine the optimum chip flow. The result – optimum turning geometries for highly diverse turning applications.

FN geometry determines the processing pace
The newly designed FN geometry perfectly complements the existing range thanks to its unique chip former that reaches far into the corner radius, thereby achieving a chip break even with smaller feed depths. Depending on the machining process, there are two grades available: The BCN10T (HC-N10) grade is ideal for the processing of alloyed aluminium materials and NF metals. Thanks to its PVD TiAlN layer, it is also suitable for stainless steels and grey cast iron. The BWN10T (HW-N10) milling grade, on the other hand, is best suited for the machining of low-alloy aluminium and NF metals with medium to high cutting speeds.
Alutec
BAL aluminium range
The Alutec range excels with the most advanced cutting materials and associated chip breakers. With LW610, LW612 and LC610T, Boehlerit has a very wide range of solutions for aluminium machining at hand.
Applications range from turning, parting and milling to the most universal Pentatec turning-drilling tool. Five machining operations can be carried out with this combination tool. Chip breakers such as BAL (Boehlerit Aluminium), ALM (aluminium for milling) or GF (Grooving Fine) are outstanding for their optimum chip flow.

Titanium grade BCS10T and super alloy
grade BCS20T for successful machining of super alloys
The leading hard metal experts from Boehlerit, Austria, have developed a special carbide grade for the machining of titanium; the tendency for plastic deformation of this grade is small which makes it the perfect choice for titanium that is extremely difficult to machine. The grade ensures a high degree of machining reliability on materials such as Ti – 6Al – 4V or Ti – Al – Sn. Thanks to the innovative, oxidation-resistant plasma CVD TiBN layer of the BCS10T turning grade, cutting speed is increased by 40 % while the service life is extended at the same time.
Boehlerit takes up the challenge of machining all materials that place the most exacting demands on the cutting material. The new turning grade BCS20T with an exceptionally fine-grained carbide substrate and a PVD layer enriched with aluminium has been developed for super alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy and Waspaloyy. The layer reduces the adhesive bonding tendency, ensures high temperature resistance and extends the service life by up to 30% to 50%. Both the BCS10T turning grade for titanium machining and the BCS20T grade for super alloys are available with the MT chip former ("Mittel Titan") in the most common ISO indexable inserts for medium and light roughing.

Performance where it really matters
With its latest indexable insert geometry MRM, Boehlerit has added yet another innovation to its ISO turning programme for the medium to rough machining of stainless materials, setting new standards in the process and making optimised indexable inserts available for a wide range of applications using stainless steels.
The new MRM chip breaker complements the BMRS geometry, which is well established on the market and covers a similar feed rate range but differs in terms of micro geometry due to the deeper chipping angle. In this way, the cutting forces are reduced, resulting in increased process safety and a prolonged lifespan on stainless steels with high hardness levels.
With the new MRM geometry for medium roughing on stainless steels, the carbide and tool specialists from Kapfenberg have launched the perfect addition to its already comprehensive ISO turning programme. Users who want to keep an eye on costs for their roughing operations and are looking for a cost-effective solution will make the right choice with the Boehlerit MRM geometry.

BCK10T and BCK20T
The revolution in cast iron turning
Austrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit has optimised the successful TERAspeed 2.0 coating for use in cast iron milling and now cast iron turning applications are also set to benefit. A thorough analysis of the market situation and coating tests that were completed internally paved the way for a new generation of coatings. The new cast CVD coating makes the most of the advantages of its individual components. Alpha-aluminium oxide is separated by means of targeted process management. It works as a heat shield and protects the indexable insert from high temperatures. Underneath, a medium-temperature titanium-carbon nitride layer provides the required wear resistance. A thickness of 20µm and the optimised roundings of the edges ensure a high level of edge stability and ideal cutting conditions. The current geometries of the casting programme are made with the latest generation of reference clamping systems. Compared to older systems, the increased rigidity and repetition accuracy makes for a reduction of the pressing gap, which in turn increases press quality (burr-free pressing). This has a positive influence on work flows further down the line and significantly improves productivity.
The new Boehlerit casting grades BCK10T and BCK20T offer top quality, excellent machining properties and optimal distribution of cutting forces.

Quattrotec
Intelligent turning-drilling applications now extended
With the introduction of the new Quattrotec tool system, Austrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit makes it possible for users to drive down costs further, in an even broader material range. Thanks to the special design of the base body, four machining operations – drilling into solid material (including off-centre drilling), inside turning, face cutting and longitudinal turning – may be performed with low vibrations and just a single tool. The EasySafe system is the uncontested highlight of the Quattrotec: A notch on the underside of the indexable insert ensures that it can be fitted into the seat speedily and 100% correctly. Easy to install, safe to use!
In a tried-and-tested, highly diverse range of grades, Boehlerit combines substrates of different levels of hardness, with either a wear-resistant CVD coating or a universal, process-safe PVD coating. The Kapfenberg-based tool specialist uses different carbide substrates that are coordinated in such a way as to achieve optimised machining properties. The market launch already saw no less than six directly pressed grades, and two more ground varieties for non-ferrous metals were added. The existing Quattrotec program with diameters of 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm was also expanded by two additional diameters, 18 and 25 mm. In addition, indexable inserts for aluminum machining were added to the program for all six tool sizes.
The innovative Quattrotec tool programme reduces machining and tool changing times, saves tool places and makes it possible to drill flat-bottomed blind holes. At the same time, this highly stable tool system that was developed from scratch also offers improved process safety and increases efficiency and flexibility during application.

Grooving
Systemised parting and turning. Easytec combines a wide range of applications with ease of handling.
Easytec makes reliable and safe grooving and parting of shafts, rods and pipes possible. It comes with single- or double-edged parting inserts that go into the same tool holder. This means shorter set-up times and reduced tool magazine occupancy.
The economic advantage becomes even more apparent when Easytec is used for longitudinal turning, face turning, copy turning or parting and grooving. The edge works all the time – especially when turning grooves and pockets on the outside, insider or on the face –while the other tools are often idle (with up to 50% empty runs). In longitudinal turning, where the wiper effect of the wide face is brought to bear, new standards are set in terms of surface quality – Easytec can in some cases even make up for grinding operations.
A wide range of chip forming equipment for parting (GM, GF, RU, UM) and parting and grooving (TM and TA) plus four carbide grades, one ceramic and one PKD grade ensure controlled chip evacuation and a highly economic tool service life.
