Benefits of Using 
Ceramic  Inserts
1 High Hardness
Ceramic inserts have exceptional hardness, making them ideal 
for  machining high-strength metals.
2 Heat Resistance
These inserts are less prone to thermal deformation, and 
can  operate at high cutting speeds and temperatures 
without  damaging the cutting edge.
3 Chemical Stability
Ceramic inserts are highly resistant to chemical wear and  
corrosion, making them ideal for machining of abrasive 
materials  that tend to generate chemical reactions.
4 Reduced Tool Wear
Ceramic inserts require less frequent changes and offer longer 
 tool life than traditional cutting tools, reducing tooling costs 
and  increasing productivity.
Different Types of Ceramic Inserts
Nitride Ceramics
Nitride ceramic inserts are made of silicon 
nitride  or silicon aluminium nitride. They offer 
superior  resistance to heat and thermal shock, 
and are  ideal for machining of cast iron, 
hardened steel  and nickel-based alloys.
