ISO designation for Turning toolholders - turning insert holder

Inconel 718 is the most widely used heat resistance superalloy (HRSA) due to its high strength over a vast temperature range. It can be used in environments from sub-zero up to 1300°F/704°C. Throughout this entire range, it exhibits exceptionally high yield, tensile and creep-rupture properties. It is often encountered in jet-engine components, turbochargers, and heat-exchangers.It should be machined with positive and sharp cutting edges. Geometries that are suitable for austenitic stainless steel will also work well on HRSA. However, quality manufacturers will have different geometries specifically designed for nickel-based alloys in their catalogs.Summery:For general Turning of Material Inconel 718 at stable conditions use a grade with a Very Hard substrate and PVD coating.For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 110 - 150 [SFM] / 35 - 45 [m/min].Consider using CBN inserts. Although they cost more than twice, they enable increasing the cutting speed by 2-4 times (relative to carbide).

Coatings reduce the friction between the carbide inserts and the workpiece, resulting in smoother cutting action. This minimizes heat generation and prevents the build-up of chips on the cutting edge, leading to improved chip evacuation and better surface finish.

Coated carbide inserts can withstand higher cutting speeds and feed rates due to their increased hardness and reduced friction. This results in faster machining times and higher productivity.

Coatings provide thermal stability to the carbide inserts, allowing them to withstand high temperatures without losing their hardness or deforming. This enables higher cutting speeds and feeds, increasing productivity and efficiency.
