  Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently manufactured the SV/MV positive breaker inserts and G-class negative breaker inserts for the new NX3035 cermet series. The NX3035 for steel turning was released in July 7, 2006. A total of 71 new geometries will start to be sold by Mitsubishi Materials Tools Corporation (President: Osamu Takata, Headquarters: 1-6-1 Yokoami, Sumida-ku, Tokyo).

  Cermet is mainly used for finishing operations because it provides superior surface finish. However, when strong thermal shocks or impacts are experienced during machining, cracks can occur causing fracturing that can result in unpredictable and unstable tool life. The new cermet grade, NX3035 has dramatically improved thermal shock and chipping resistance due to a special alloy binder and optimised alloy structure that provides extra high thermal conductivity (PAT. pending). As a result, NX3035 exhibits a highly stable cutting edge performance even during wet machining.
  The latest addition to the NX3035 range includes SV/MV positive breaker inserts suitable for a wide range of machining applications including boring and TNGG G-class inserts to provide a sharp cutting action.
