BZN™ VS-Series PCBN

Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufactures PCBN Versatile grades specializing in edge toughness while maintaining superior crater and abrasion resistance for machining hardened steels, called VS-Series.

Viewed as a benchmark of hardened steel machining grades, the BZN VS-Series provides the following key attributes:

• Improved toughness and chipping resistance.
• Flexibility in tool design and geometry.
• Ability to handle applications with increasing interruption levels or chip loads with more consistent tool life.

VS-Series grades also contain zero carbide support. Due to no carbide support, there is no coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch during tool fabrication.

✔ - Standard product.

Tolerance +/- 0.05 mm; Outer diameter 54.3 mm.
