Abstract: Milling insert and tool for center cutting milling of material. At least one first cutting edge is terminated in or adjacent to a center axis defined by the milling insert and includes a first cutting edge portion having a first radius that is essentially equally great for each point of the first cutting edge portion. The first cutting edge includes at least one second cutting edge portion that is plane or has at least one second radius for each point of the respective second cutting edge portion, the at least one second radius being greater than the first radius and that is situated between the first cutting edge portion and the center axis. One second cutting edge portion adjoins the first cutting edge portion, and one second cutting edge portion is terminated in or adjacent to the center axis.

Abstract: A milling insert for center cutting milling of material is disclosed, which milling insert is arranged to be arranged in a seat that is defined by a milling cutter body and situated at a rotation axis defined by the milling cutter body, the milling cutter body being connectable to a rotatable holder. The milling insert includes a plurality of cutting edges, where at least one first cutting edge is terminated in or adjacent to a center axis defined by the milling insert, the first cutting edge including a first cutting edge portion having a first radius that is essentially equally great for each point of the first cutting edge portion. The first cutting edge includes at least one second cutting edge portion that is plane or has at least one second radius for each point of the respective second cutting edge portion, the at least one second radius being greater than the first radius.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a coated cutting tool insert particularly useful for dry and wet machining, preferably milling, in low and medium alloyed steels, stainless steels, with or without raw surface zones under severe conditions such as vibrations, long overhang and recutting of chips. The insert is characterized by WC—Co cemented carbide with a W and Cr alloyed Co-binder phase and a coating including at least three TiCxNyOz layers and a top layer at least on the rake face of a smooth ?-Al2O3.

The insert is characterized by a WC-TaC-NbC-Co cemented carbide with a W alloyed Co-binder phase and a coating including an innermost layer of TiCxNyOz with columnar grains and a top layer at least on the rake face of a smooth ?-Al2O3.

Abstract: The present invention relates to PVD coated cemented carbide cutting tool inserts roughing to finishing milling operations. The cemented carbide cutting tool insert comprises a substrate and a wear resistant coating. The substrate comprises in addition to WC, from about 5.5 to about 8.5 wt-% Co and Cr such that the Cr/Co weight ratio is from about 0.08 to about 0.12 and also small amounts of Ti and Ta. The wear resistant coating is a homogeneous AlxTi1-xN-layer with x equals from about 0.6 to about 0.67. The thickness of this layer is from about 1.2 to about 3.6 ?m.

Abstract: A coated cutting tool insert is disclosed particularly useful for dry and wet machining, preferably milling, in un-, low- and high alloyed steels and cast iron, with or without raw surface zones. The insert is characterized by a WC—TaC—NbC—Co cemented carbide with a W alloyed Co-binder phase and a coating including an innermost layer of TiCxNyOz with columnar grains and a top layer, at least on the rake face, of a smooth ?-Al2O3.

Abstract: Coated cemented carbide inserts for short hole drilling in steel at high speed and moderate feed is disclosed. The cemented carbide includes WC, about 2-10 wt-% Co, and about 4-12 wt-% cubic carbides of metals from groups IVa, Va or VIa. The Co-binder phase is highly alloyed with W with a CW-ratio of about 0.75-0.90. The insert has a binder phase enriched and essentially cubic carbide free surface zone of a thickness of less than about 20 ?m. Along a line essentially bisecting the edge in the direction from the edge to the centre of the insert, a binder phase content increases essentially monotonously until it reaches the bulk composition. Binder phase content at the edge in vol-% is about 0.65-0.75 times binder phase content of the bulk. The depth of the binder phase depletion is about 100-300 ?m.

Abstract: A coated milling insert particularly useful for milling in low and medium alloyed steels with or without abrasive surface zones during dry or wet conditions at high cutting speed, and milling hardened steels at high cutting speed. The insert is characterized by a WC-Co cemented carbide with a low content of cubic carbides and a highly W-alloyed binder phase and a coating including an innermost layer of TiCxNyOz with columnar grains and a top layer of TiN and an inner layer of &kgr;-Al2O3.

Abstract: A coated cemented carbide cutting tool (indexable inserts) for the wet or dry milling, particularly at high cutting speeds, of stainless steels of different composition and microstructure, but also for the milling of non-stainless steels such as low carbon steels and low and medium alloyed steels is disclosed. The coated WC−Co based cemented carbide insert includes a specific composition range of WC+Co without any addition of cubic carbides by a low W-alloyed Co binder and by a narrow range defined average WC grainsize, and a hard and wear resistant coating including a multilayered structure of sublayers of the composition (TixAl1−x)N with repeated variation of the Ti/Al ratio.
