Additional FY - SY Chip Breakers for Low Carbon Steel

September 20, 2005

  Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently developed and manufactured a total of 8 new types of FY and SY chip breakers for (1)low carbon steel. These chip breakers will start to be sold by Mitsubishi Materials Tools Corporation (President: Osamu Takata, Headquarters: 1-6-1 Yokoami, Sumida-ku, Tokyo).

FY - SY   In January 2005, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation launched the FY and SY chipbreaker range. These chip breakers have gained a good reputation for excellent chip control when machining carbon steel. The latest addition to the FY - SY range includes a total of 8 new DNMG insert types with 4 that are 6.35mm thick.

Key features of the FY and SY chip breakers are as follows.

1.
The sharp wall of the breaker ensures good chip control. They can be used at a wider range of feeds when cutting low carbon steel than existing general use breakers. This is due to being designed specially for this purpose. They generate well-curled chips even from very soft materials such as (2)iron plate, solving the various problems arising from tangled chips.
2.
The rake angle is designed at the optimum level with a balance of sharpness and toughness. Because of the resulting low cutting force, these breakers can prevent (3)vibration and deliver superior surface finish when cutting low rigidity applications.
3.
The standard grades available are a PVD cermet VP25N and a CVD coated grade UE6020 and can be used over a wide application range. The MIRACLE coating on the VP25N grade gives high welding resistance and delivers superior surface finishes. The tough UE6020 grade has a high fracture resistance and allows for stable cutting even when machining with light interrupted cuts.

 

< Word explanation >
(1)Low carbon steel:
  • Steel with up to 0.3% carbon content. JIS S10C-S30C, SPC, SPH. Owing to their high malleability these materials can be used as a pressing material.
(2)Iron plate:
  • Colloquial term of cold rolled steel plate (SPC) and hot rolled mild steel plate (SPH). Both materials contain up to 0.15% carbon and have an especially high flattening property.
(3)Vibration:
  • Intensifying vibrations during machining where half of the amplitude measures more than 10 - 20 micrometers. But generally, it often refers to vibrations that cause undesirable results regardless of the size of the amplitude.
