Halnn CBN inserts solutions for hard turning gear

There are many types gears. In the face of different material, only the correct

cutting tool can be selected to solve the problem better and more effectively,

Halnn has developed different CBN grade cutting tools for the hardened steel

gears. The specific CBN grades are as follows:

Cutting Workpiece
CBN grade Processing Cutting condition
depth hardness
Semi-interrupt
BN-H21 finishing ≤0.5mm HRC62-HRC68
heavy interrupt

BN-H20 Semi-finishing ≤1mm Semi-interrupt HRC45-HRC63

BN-H11 Semi-finishing ≤1mm Continuous HRC45-HRC63

CBN inserts for hard turning hardened steel

CBN tool for hard turning hardened steel

Case of CBN inserts hard turning gear

(1) Continuous cutting conditions: Halnn CBN inserts BN-H05 and BN-H11 grade

are recommended for high-speed cutting, Compared to ceramic cutting tools,

the tool life is up to N times, while coated CBN inserts are available.

Workpiece material: 20CrMnTi (hardness HRC58-62)

Tool type: BN-H05 CNGA120408
Cutting parameters: Cutting speed(Vc)=180m/min,
Feed rate(Fr)=0.1mm/r,
Cutting depth(ap)=0.1mm
Processing method: dry cutting

Tool material Surface roughness Tool life

(2) Semi-interrupted cutting conditions: Halnn CBN inserts BN-H10 and BN-H20

are recommended. It can withstand the impact of the keyway during hard

turning. At the same time, whether the turning instead of grinding can be stably

carried out, affected by the machine tool used in the hard turning process, must

be confirmed before selecting the cutting tool plan, especially when there is

interrupt processing.

Workpiece material: 20CrMnTi (hardness HRC58-62)

Tool type：BN-H10 CCGW09T304
Cutting parameters: Cutting speed(Vc)=135m/min，
Feed rate(Fr)=0.08mm/r，
Cutting depth(ap) =0.25mm
Processing method: dry cutting

Tool material Cutting speed(Vc) Tool life Effectiveness

A European brand CBN 110m/min 600pcs ----

(3) Heavy interrupt cutting conditions: The brazed CBN inserts BN-H21 is

recommended. Hard turning the gears with group holes on the end face are

cost-effective, the cutting performance is stable, and the advantage replaces

the internationally renowned CBN inserts;

(4) Heavy-duty cutting conditions: choose the solid CBN inserts BN-S20, which

can withstand tooth surface impact during hard turning, stable cutting

performance, high cost performance, and replace the internationally renowned

CBN inserts;
