New Coated SiAlON Ceramic Insert

Greenleaf Corporation offers SIALOX ceramic insert cutting tools. "This is a special class of high-temperature ceramic materials that exhibit high strength," said a company spokesperson. "SIALOX will demonstrate better tool life in removing scale and in interrupted machining as well as in the machining of Waspaloy and newer exotic materials such as Inconel 718 Plus."

SIALOX is designed to provide improved thermal shock resistance, making it useful in interrupted cuts, removal of scale and milling. The company reported that the proprietary coating designed for SIALOX creates high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fracture toughness, low thermal expansion and oxidation resistance.

"During the development of SIALOX, Greenleaf focused on creating a new ceramic grade that could take the abuse related to machining rough forgings and castings of high-strength alloy materials," said the spokesperson. "A ceramic grade with the unique combination of substrate and coating that SIALOX possesses will be very productive in a variety of materials."
