PCD/CBN Inserts

PCD - Polycrystalline Diamond

Indexable's family of five PCD (polycrystalline diamond) grades satisfy all of your non-ferrous and non-metallic machining needs. From the roughest and most strenuous conditions and materials to the tightest tolerance and smoothest surface finish requirements, our PCD inserts deliver maximum productivity.

All PCD Grades

Grade	Type	Vol. %	Grain Size	Major Binder	Application
PCD	Carbide Backed	92	10	CO	General purpose grade Good surface finish Good wear resistance
PCD3	Carbide Backed	94	30	CO	Superior wear resistance Strong diamond bond
PCD-F	Carbide Backed	90	4	CO	Good surface finish
PCD-UF	Carbide Backed	90	2	CO	Excellent surface finish
PCD-XUF	Carbide Backed	90	0.5	CO	Excellent surface finish Good wear resistance Suited for woodworking applications

CBN - Cubic Boron Nitride

Indexable's line of CBN tooling (cubic boron nitride) offer great hardness and abrasion resistance, coupled with extreme chemical stability when in contact with ferrous alloys at high temperatures. It has the ability to machine both steel and cast iron at high speeds for long operating cycles.

All CBN Grades

Grade	Type	Vol. %	Grain Size	Major Binder	Application
CBN 45	Carbide Backed	45	1	Titanium Nitride	Low thermal conductivity Strong edge due to low edge compressiveness
CBN 50	Carbide Backed	50	2	Titanium Carbide	Good thermal stability and crater resistance High-speed continuous machining of hardened steel
CBN 60	Carbide Backed	60	2	Titanium Nitride	Combination of wear resistance impact strength General usage in continuous and interrupted cutting of hardened steel
CBN 70	Carbide Backed	70	2	Titanium Carbonitride	High degree of toughness due to fine microstructure of CBN and ceramic binder Rough and interrupted maching of hardened steel
CBN 80	Carbide Backed	80	3	Titanium Nitride	Combination of wear resistance and thermal properties Superior to other grades in machining superalloy
CBN 90	Carbide Backed	90	3	Titanium Nitride	Higher toughness and heat resistance as an alternative CBN 95 Machining non-homogenous cast iron and power metal alloys
CBN 95	Carbide Backed	95	3	Titanium Alloy	Extreme wear resistance due to high content CBN and metal binder Excellent at machining various cast irons
CBN 100	Carbide Backed	93	10	Aluminum Nitrade	Extreme wear resistance due to coarser CBN and metal binder Rough machining of cast iron and power metal alloys

Reconditioning Inserts

When considering a PCD or CBN insert from Indexable, remember that a majority of our inserts can be reconditioned. Whether it is relapping, resizing, or retipping, reconditioning an insert or catridge optimizes the cost-effectiveness of this tooling.
