CITCO & Gardner Diamond PCBN

Product catalog summary
Overview of CITCO Diamond & cBN Products:
CITCO, a part of Cinetic Landis Corp., specializes in high-precision cutting tools using Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN) materials. These tools are designed for machining hardened steels and other challenging materials, offering enhanced tool life and precision.

PCBN Grades and Applications:
  • B25 Grade: Ideal for continuous hard turning of hardened steels and powdered metallurgy components (45-65 HRC). It supports cutting speeds up to 250 m/min (800 ft./min) and provides excellent wear resistance and tool life.
  • B26 Grade: Suitable for both continuous and mild interrupted hard turning of steels up to 65 HRC. It performs well at speeds up to 200 m/min (650 ft./min) and features a titanium nitride binder for improved toughness and chip resistance.
  • B31 Grade: Best for heavily interrupted operations requiring toughness, such as machining hardened steels, tool steels, and hard cast irons. It contains over 90% cBN with a Cobalt-Nickel binder, offering high abrasion resistance and reliable performance.

Product Specifications:
The document lists various PCBN insert models with specific dimensions and corner configurations, suitable for different machining applications. These inserts are designed for fine finishing and are available in multiple configurations to meet diverse industrial needs.

Catalog excerpts

CITCO & Gardner Diamond PCBN-1

CITCO Borpax® PCBN Grade B25 – Recommended for high precision continuous hard turning Excellent for continuous cutting of a wide range of hardened steels and powdered metallurgy components from 45-65 HRC. Provides excellent tool life at cutting speeds up to 250 m/min. (800 ft./min.). The extremely uniform microstructure and consistency of the cBN material distributed throughout the ceramic binder facilitates high quality cutting edges. Precisionground edges (T-lands and hones) are capable of machining to sub-micron finishes. B25 is an extremely wear resistant material that offers a significant increase in tool life while retaining the integrity and hardness of the cutting edge. CITCO Diamond & cBN Products CITCO Borpax® PCBN Grade B26 – Recommended for high precision continuous and mild interrupted hard turning Suitable for cutting light to moderate interrupted hardened steels up to 65 HRC. Has shown improved performance at cutting speeds up to 200 m/min. (650 ft./min.). This is a low content, sub-micron grain cBN material with a titanium nitride (TiN) binder. B26 is a stronger, tougher material with improved chip resistance. This provides the highest quality cutting edges for the most demanding precision hard machining applications. High hot hardness and wear resistance deliver longer tool life while maintaining tight work piece dimensional tolerances. CITCO Borpax® PCBN Grade B31 – Recommended for excellent toughness behavior in heavily interrupted operations Optimum grade for toughness, demanding applications on hardened steels, tool steels, hard cast irons, gray cast irons, and powdered metallurgical components. High abrasion resistance for machining outlet valve seat alloys and alloyed work piece materials with high carbide content. Reliable and consistent performance on interrupted hard turning, milling and the most demanding applications. The material comprises over 90% cBN of 2-4 microns in size with a Cobalt-Nickel based binder. The combination of strength and toughness provides fine, smooth cutting edges which may be used up-sharp or honed. Positive geometry tools have minimal loss in edge strength. Sometimes desirable for fine precision finishing or where it is critical to minimize tool pressure.
