The Potential for Wider Use of Ceramic Inserts
It’s possible that new phase-toughened ceramic insert technology could be used for more universal milling and turning applications.
When you think ceramic inserts you commonly envision high-speed machining of hard metals and super alloys. That said, Greenleaf has developed a new phase-toughened ceramic insert technology that could bridge the gap between conventional carbide and ceramic inserts for exotic materials, as well as more conventional metals such as mild and stainless steels.
