New Additional SiAlON Ceramic Inserts for Machining High-Temperature Alloys
Highlights
ISCAR is adding additional IS25 and IS35 SiAlON ceramic inserts with T-Land and honing for roughing and interrupted cut conditions on high temperature alloys.
In 2017, ISCAR introduced new SiAlON ceramic grades for machining high-temperature alloys. Following a positive market response, ISCAR is expanding this line with additional “TE” edge preparation inserts, produced with T-Land and honing for tough applications.
Both the IS25 and IS35 ceramic grades were developed for very high cutting speeds and interrupted cut applications on nickel based heat resistant alloys such as Inconel, Waspaloy, Rene, etc.
The new grades are characterized by their high hardness and wear resistance that increase productivity on super alloy materials such as Inconel 718 and Waspaloy. They provide an advantageous performance when compared with conventional carbide grades.
Main Advantages
- Excellent wear resistance and fracture toughness
- Excellent thermal shock resistance
- Excellent for roughing operations
- Can be used with similar machining conditions such as whisker-reinforced grades
- Price advantage over whisker reinforced grades

Ceramic Grades for Machining Super Alloys
Grade | Vc m/min | Feed m/rev | Depth of Cut mm | Application | Features |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
IW7 | 200-400 | 0.1-0.3 | 0.5-2.5 | Whisker-reinforced ceramic grade, provides high hardness with excellent toughness for machining Ni based high temperature alloys such as Inconel, Waspaloy etc. | |
IS25 | 200-350 | 0.1-0.4 | 1.0-4.0 | Reinforced SiAlON composite grade, Excellent for machining Ni based high temperature alloys such as Inconel, Waspaloy etc. | |
IS9 | 180-230 | 0.1-0.3 | 1.0-3.0 | A very tough grade with high cutting edge stability. Used for roughing to finishing applications on Ni based high temperature alloys and ductile cast iron. | |
IS35 | 150-250 | 0.2-0.5 | 1.0-4.5 | SiAlON ceramic grade, provides high hardness with excellent toughness for machining Ni based high temperature alloys such as Inconel, Waspaloy etc. Suitable for high feed rate and depth of cut. |
Continuous cut | Light interrupted | Heavy interrupted |

T-Land Sizes for Standard Items
For semi-finishing and
finishing
f < 0.2 mm/rev
E=0.03-0.04 (honing)
finishing
f < 0.2 mm/rev
E=0.03-0.04 (honing)
For semi-roughing and roughing
f > 0.2 mm/rev
T=0.1x20*
f > 0.2 mm/rev
T=0.1x20*
- For roughing and interrupted cut
f > 0.2 mm/rev - TE= 0.1x20°+0.01-0.02 (honing)

- Most suitable for use in the aviation, aerospace, oil and gas industries
- When replacing ceramic whisker grades with ISCAR’s new grades, we recommend increasing the feed
- If tool life is too short, cutting speed should be reduced
