Kyocera is proud to announce the release of the new CA115P/CA125P next-gen CVD coated carbide, a cutting-edge solution for steel machining. This new offering combines an innovative coating, carbide substrate, and chip breakers to deliver exceptional performance, wear, and fracture resistance. The CA115P/CA125P series revolutionizes steel machining with remarkable endurance and longevity.

Kyocera has designed the CA115P/CA125 series to provide extended tool life and superior performance in a variety of machining scenarios. The CA115P is ideal for continuous to light-interrupted machining, offering highly efficient and precise results. Conversely, the CA125P is optimized for continuous to heavy interrupted machining, making it a versatile general-purpose tool for steel machining.

The newly developed proprietary coating and carbide substrate of the CA115P/CA125P series offers unmatched wear and fracture resistance. The coating properties on the rake and flank faces are optimized to provide excellent wear resistance. The black and gold appearance and stark contrast are beyond cosmetic in nature. The black rake face is composed of a highly uniform alumina layer reducing wear, suppressing cratering, and diminishing fracturing. The striking gold flank includes a hard surface layer, a highly uniform alumina layer, and a unique TiCN layer. All these layers on the flank work together to improve the wear-resistant properties of the insert and to suppress surface abrasion. Below the coating, the new carbide substrate displays enhanced resistance to plastic deformation and exhibits increased temperature resistance.

A key advantage of the CA115P/CA125P series is its expansive lineup of chipbreaker options covering everything from finishing to roughing, ensuring optimal performance and productivity across numerous applications. Kyocera is also introducing the new PMG chipbreaker design for optimal medium to roughing efficiency with lower resistance and protection against chip entanglement when machining steel.
