TDC Carbide Grooving Insert

About the product

1.TDC groove type Carbide Insert: C groove type, the raised edges on both sides of the carbide insert have negative chamfers to increase the resistance of the insert to collapse.

2.Durable: The TDC grooving insert has a sharp and wear-resistant edge, high processing precision, and is not easy to stick to the knife.

3.Stable performance: TDC insert uses a cemented carbide raw material matrix, and the upgraded surface coating ensures that the cutting edge has good stability, high temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance.

Material & Coating Technology

• Base Substrate: TDC Insert  Constructed from high-grade cemented carbide with a fine micrograin structure (grain size 1.0–1.5μm), bonded with 8–10% cobalt. This formulation delivers exceptional hardness (91–93 HRA) and toughness, balancing wear resistance with impact strength to withstand heavy grooving loads.

• Surface Coating: Equipped with an upgraded multi-layer PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating—typically TiAlN or AlTiN-based—with a thickness of 3–5μm. This coating enhances high-temperature resistance (up to 800°C), oxidation resistance, and lubricity, reducing friction between the insert and workpiece to prevent material adhesion.

Key Features

• C-Groove Geometry with Reinforced Edges: TDC grooving Insert The signature C-shaped groove design includes raised edges with negative chamfers (5°–10°) on both sides. This structural reinforcement distributes cutting forces evenly, significantly improving resistance to edge chipping and collapse—critical for grooving tough materials like alloy steel and stainless steel.

• Sharp, Wear-Resistant Cutting Edges: Precision-honed edges retain sharpness through prolonged use, ensuring consistent groove dimensions (width tolerance ±0.01mm) and reducing the need for frequent regrinding. The low-friction coating minimizes built-up edge (BUE), preventing "sticking" during high-speed grooving of ductile materials.

• Stable Performance Under Stress: The carbide matrix and coating work together to maintain cutting edge stability, even in interrupted cuts or high-vibration environments. This stability translates to reliable performance across varying feed rates and cutting speeds.

• Applications

• Target Materials: TDC Carbide Grooving Insert Optimized for grooving carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel (304, 316), cast iron (gray and ductile), and high-strength metals used in industrial components.

• Machining Operations: Specialized for external grooving, face grooving, narrow slotting, and light parting-off tasks requiring precise groove widths (1–6mm) and clean edges.

• Industries: Widely used in automotive manufacturing (e.g., grooving bearing seats, axle components), aerospace (precision slotting in structural parts), and general engineering (machining hydraulic fittings, gear hubs).

• Compatible Machines

• Designed for use with grooving toolholders on:

• CNC Lathes: Fanuc 0i-TF, Siemens Sinumerik 828D, Haas ST-series, and Mazak Quick Turn lathes, paired with TTER/L or similar grooving toolholders.

• Slant-Bed Lathes: Doosan Puma and Okuma LB series, leveraging the machines’ high rigidity to maximize stability during heavy grooving.

• Automatic Lathes: Compatible with CNC automatic lathes for high-volume production of small grooved components.

• Performance & Lifespan

• Recommended Cutting Parameters:

• Steel/Stainless Steel: Cutting speed 80–150 m/min; feed rate 0.1–0.25 mm/rev.

• Cast Iron: Cutting speed 60–120 m/min; feed rate 0.15–0.3 mm/rev.

• Service Life:

• 120–200 minutes of continuous grooving per cutting edge on carbon steel.

• 80–150 minutes per edge on abrasive stainless steel or cast iron.

• The reinforced edge design and coating extend tool life by 25–30% compared to standard grooving inserts, reducing tool change frequency and downtime.

  Advantages Summary

  TDC grooving inserts combine a reinforced C-groove design, high-performance carbide substrate, and advanced coating to deliver durability, precision, and stability in demanding grooving applications. Their ability to resist chipping, maintain sharp edges, and perform across diverse materials makes them a reliable choice for manufacturers prioritizing efficiency and quality in groove machining operations.
