MGGN Carbide Grooving Inserts for Aluminum

About the product

1. Grooving inserts for aluminum are made of high-quality carbide, which has excellent durability and wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance.

2. The cutting edge and optimized geometry of Carbide inserts enable smooth and accurate cutting.

3. The efficient heat dissipation performance of MGGN aluminum grooving inserts protects the tool and material from thermal damage, extending tool life and workpiece integrity.

Specifications

Material & Coating

• Substrate: Crafted from high-purity micrograin cemented carbide with a grain size of 0.8–1.2μm and 6–7% cobalt binder. This formulation balances hardness (90–92 HRA) with enough toughness to resist chipping in soft, ductile aluminum, while minimizing built-up edge (BUE) formation.

• Specialized Coating: Grooving Inserts for Aluminum Most variants feature a low-friction PVD coating (often aluminum-titanium nitride with a smooth finish) that reduces friction between the insert and aluminum chips. This coating lowers adhesion risk, prevents material welding to the cutting edge, and enhances wear resistance in high-speed applications.

Key Features

• Tailored Groove Geometries: Available in multiple groove types to match diverse aluminum machining needs:

• Fine-finish grooves: Shallow, polished channels for Ra ≤ 0.8μm surface finishes on precision parts like electronics housings.

• High-feed grooves: Aggressive chipbreakers designed for rapid material removal (0.15–0.3 mm/rev feed rates) in roughing operations.

• Narrow-groove profiles: 1–3mm width options for intricate slots in aerospace brackets or automotive trim components.

  
  

• Anti-Sticking Design: The combination of low-friction coating and polished cutting edges ensures smooth chip flow, eliminating "gumming"—a common issue when machining soft aluminum alloys (6061, 7075, 2024).

• Sharp Edge Retention: Precision-honed edges maintain sharpness through prolonged use, ensuring consistent groove widths and depths (tolerance ±0.01mm) across batches.

• 
  

• Applications

• Target Materials: Optimized for all aluminum alloys, including:

• Wrought aluminum (6061, 7075) used in aerospace structural parts and automotive components.

• Cast aluminum (A356) for engine blocks and housings.

• Soft aluminum (1100) in consumer goods and decorative parts.

• Operations: Specialized for external grooving (OD grooving), face grooving, and slotting in aluminum, with capabilities to machine grooves up to 10mm deep (depending on insert size).

• 
  

• Compatible Machines

• Designed for use with grooving toolholders on:

• 
  

• CNC Lathes: Fanuc 0i-TF, Haas ST-series, Mazak Quick Turn, and Doosan Puma lathes.

• High-Speed Machining Centers: Brother Speedio and Okuma HSC series, leveraging their ability to handle high spindle speeds (up to 15,000 RPM) for aluminum.

• Swiss-Type Lathes: Tsugami and Star models for micro-grooving in small aluminum parts (e.g., electronics connectors).

• 
  

• 
  

• Performance & Lifespan

• Recommended Cutting Parameters:

• Cutting speed: 800–1,500 m/min (ideal for maximizing productivity in aluminum).

• Feed rate: 0.1–0.3 mm/rev (adjustable based on groove type: finer feeds for finishing, higher feeds for roughing).

• Service Life:

• 150–250 minutes of continuous grooving per edge on standard aluminum alloys (6061).

• 100–200 minutes per edge on high-silicon aluminum (e.g., 319), where abrasive particles slightly accelerate wear.

• The anti-sticking coating extends edge life by 30–40% compared to uncoated inserts, reducing tool change frequency.

  User Testimonial

  Javier Morales, production supervisor at Precision Aluminum Components, shares: “MGGN inserts have revolutionized our aluminum grooving. We used to battle BUE constantly—parts would come out with rough edges, and we’d spend hours reworking them. Now, with these inserts, the chips break clean, the edges stay sharp, and we’re hitting tolerance on every part. Even our new operators can produce consistent results, which has cut training time. Plus, the stock availability means we never have to pause production waiting for replacements. They’re worth every penny.”
