Cast Iron: Ceramic inserts can efficiently machine cast iron, especially high-hardness cast iron, such as ductile iron and chilled cast iron.
Hardened Steel: Ceramic inserts can cut hardened steel with a hardness of HRC60 or higher, and have a long tool life.
High-Temperature Alloys: For alloys such as nickel-based alloys and cobalt-based alloys, the high-temperature stability of ceramic inserts makes them an ideal choice.
Titanium Alloys: When machining titanium alloys, ceramic inserts reduce tool wear and improve machining efficiency.
Composite Materials: For composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), ceramic inserts reduce burrs and delamination.
