NEW SILICON NITRIDE CERAMIC FOR TURNING CAST IRON

The ceramics specialist CeramTec is expanding its portfolio of high-tech cutting materials with the silicon nitride ceramic LKT 100 for the highly efficient turning of cast iron materials. The new cutting material combines the toughness typical of silicon nitride ceramics with increased wear resistance. This increased performance behaviour is achieved through an innovative manufacturing process which allowed CeramTec to influence the composition of the cutting material in the outer functional zone.
