In-Depth Understanding of Cermet Inserts

In the grand stage of industrial production, cermet inserts, with their unique characteristics and wide applications, have become a form of "hardcore power". They play an important role on various production lines, improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. Today, we will delve into cermet inserts.


Characteristics of Cermet Inserts


Cermet inserts are high-performance cutting tools composed of both metal and ceramic materials, combining the toughness of metal with the hardness of ceramic. This allows cermet inserts to exhibit excellent wear resistance and heat resistance during cutting, maintaining good cutting performance under high-speed cutting conditions. Another feature of cermet inserts is their long cutting life. Due to their excellent wear resistance and heat resistance, cermet inserts wear out more slowly during the cutting process, resulting in a cutting life far superior to traditional inserts.


Processing Range of Cermet Inserts


The processing range for cermet inserts is very broad. Thanks to their excellent cutting performance, cermet inserts can be used to process various high-hardness materials such as hard alloys, high-temperature alloys, stainless steel, cast iron, etc.


In addition, cermet inserts can be used in various cutting methods such as turning, milling, drilling, and boring. Whether it is flat machining or contour machining, cermet inserts can handle it.


How to Select and Use Cermet Inserts


When selecting and using cermet inserts, multiple factors need to be considered. First, the appropriate cermet insert must be chosen based on the hardness of the material being processed and the cutting conditions. Secondly, the appropriate shape and size of the insert must be chosen based on processing needs. When using cermet inserts, it is important to pay attention to the cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth. 


The selection of these parameters directly affects the cutting performance and the service life of the insert. Hence, it is necessary to reasonably select these parameters based on the actual situation.


With their unique characteristics and wide processing range, cermet inserts have become the "hardcore power" of industrial production. They play an important role on various production lines, improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality.
