Choosing the right carbide CNC insert is very important as it determines the quality of the machining results and the durability of the tool. When choosing the right carbide CNC inserts, you need to consider the following aspects:

First, the material of the carbide CNC insert needs to be selected according to the type of material to be processed. Different materials have different hardness and cutting performance, so you need to choose the carbide CNC inserts that are suitable for the material. Common cemented carbide materials include WC-Co, WC-TiC-TaC, WC-CoCr, Ti(C,N)-Co, etc. Choose the appropriate material according to different processing materials.

Secondly, the type of machining and requirements need to be considered. According to different types of machining, such as roughing, finishing, semi-finishing, etc., choose the structure and insert shape of carbide CNC inserts. For example, for roughing, you can choose inserts with fewer cutting edges, which can provide greater depth of cut and cutting speed; for finishing, you can choose inserts with more cutting edges, which can get a better machined surface quality.

In addition, you also need to choose carbide CNC inserts according to the process requirements of processing. Different machining processes require different insert geometry parameters, such as insert front angle, insert rear angle, insert cutting edge angle. According to the specific process requirements, select the appropriate carbide CNC inserts to meet the processing requirements.

Another important factor is the processing conditions. Machining conditions include cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, etc.. According to different machining conditions, choose the appropriate carbide CNC inserts. Generally speaking, for high-speed cutting, it is necessary to choose carbide materials with good wear resistance of the insert; for high feed cutting, it is necessary to choose carbide materials with good toughness of the insert.

Z after, also need to consider the economic factors. Different carbide CNC inserts have different prices, and you need to choose the right insert according to your economic strength. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the life of the insert and the frequency of replacement, choose the insert that can be used for a longer period of time to reduce the frequency and cost of replacement.

In short, the selection of suitable carbide CNC inserts need to comprehensively consider the type of material to be processed, the type and requirements of processing, processing conditions and economic factors. Only by considering the actual situation comprehensively can we choose the most suitable carbide CNC inserts, thus ensuring the quality of the machining effect and the durability of the tool.
