“Wanting to reduce the machining period with high-speed machining,” and “Wanting to reduce the insert replacement frequency” are improvements which everyone in the field of machining is hoping for.
Kyocera CA025P achieves stable machining with long tool life by adopting the new-generation CVD coating technique. By increasing to approximately twice the film thickness of the Al2O3 (alumina) layer, which excels in heat resistance with our proprietary crystal control, the wear resistance is improved dramatically. Productivity can be improved considerably with high-speed, long tool life machining.

Never Knowing when chipping or fractures will occur results in an unstable process.
CA025P brings improvements to unstable machining.
With the adoption of Kyocera’s proprietary special surface structure for the insert, suppression of adhesion on the cutting edge as well as chipping is addressed to improve machining stability.
It also has a brightly colored appearance, making it easier to identify the used corner and improves “waste” at the machining site, including replacing the insert even though there is an unused corner.

For CA025P, we also developed a new carbide alloy substrate.
High-temperature properties were improved by finding the optimal composition and baking conditions for tungsten carbide (WC), cobalt (Co) and other rare metals that are contained in carbide alloy substrate.
As a result, we were able to improve the heat-resistance and plastic deformation resistance.
This enables high speeds, a long tool life and stable and high-precision machining with a reduction of the cutting force.
CA025P adopts the latest coating and substrate technologies to shape our customers’ ideas into reality.
