Ceramic Inserts RNGN,RCGX, CNGA and more
Premium SiC whisker-reinforced Ceramic Inserts are engineered for high-speed machining of superalloys, hardened steels and cast iron. The addition of silicon carbide (SiC) provides exceptional hardness—second only to diamond—while optimizing toughness and fracture resistance. Different ceramic grades deliver excellent flank wear, groove wear and thermal shock resistance for finishing, semi-finishing, continuous and light interrupted cutting. A wide range of RNGN, RCGX, CNGA, CNGX, DNGA, RPGX and other insert geometries and sizes is available to match different machining requirements.
