Horn’s CBN tool system is designed to provide high surface quality in when machining with nickel-based alloys, titanium, cobalt-chrome. The system features geometries specially developed for finishing with tight tolerances and high process reliability when machining the material groups P, K and S.
In operation, the tools can achieve speeds of 350 m/min (1,148 ft/min) when cutting Inconel and 300 m/min (984 ft/min) when cutting titanium alloys. The tools are said to produce surfaces with an almost mirror-like finish, according to Horn. The combination of cutting material, quality of the tool edge grinding, coating and coolant supply supports high performance. The reliable process is enhanced by the linear wear behavior of the CBN cutting material, meaning wear rate is predictable. The finishing system is available as standard in numerous Horn tool systems. In addition to various ISO inserts, Horn offers CBN inserts for the Supermini, Mini, 229 and 315 systems as well as the DTS milling system.
