TUNGSTENX CNMG Carbide Inserts – Engineered for Aluminum Excellence
Unlock peak performance in aluminum machining with the TUNGSTENX CNMG Carbide Inserts. Designed for CNC turning and facing operations, these PVD-coated inserts deliver razor-sharp precision, extended tool life, and flawless chip evacuation – even at speeds exceeding 1,000 m/min. Ideal for high-volume production of automotive, aerospace, and electronics components, TUNGSTENX ensures reduced cycle times and superior surface finishes.
Key Innovations
🔹 BUE-Free Cutting – Proprietary edge preparation and polished rake face eliminate built-up edge (BUE) in sticky aluminum alloys.
🔹 Nano PVD TiAlN Coating – 3X harder than uncoated carbide, resisting abrasive wear in dry or wet machining environments.
🔹 Optimized Chipbreaker – Controlled chip curl design prevents entanglement during high-speed continuous cuts.
🔹 Versatile Geometry – CNMG120408 (ISO CNMG432) inserts handle roughing to finishing on 6061, 7075, and cast aluminum.
🔹 Low Power Consumption – Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces by 25%, minimizing spindle load.
