The material Vibenite®280 and the VBN Components 3D technique is very suitable for metal cutting tools. By choosing Vibenite®280 you get

• extremely high wear resistance
• high hot hardness (very little hardness drop up to approx 550° C)
• high fatigue resistance due to high purity (high cleanliness)
• full dimension stability
• the perfect substrate material for coatings.

…and in addition:

• possibility for adding cooling fluid channels in cutting teeth
• no soft machining, since you get the cutting tool in near-net-shape (only grinding required)
• lowest possible environmental impact.
