Kyocera GBA Shallow Grooving Inserts

The Kyocera GBA external and internal shallow grooving insert series is engineered to deliver superior chip control, smooth surface roughness, and extended tool life across steel, stainless steel, and cast iron turning applications. Developed by Kyocera, this specialized grooving lineup incorporates the next-generation PR20 insert grade series with MEGACOAT NANO EX PVD coating technology to eliminate chipping and optimize machining stability.

Proprietary PR20 Grade Series & MEGACOAT NANO EX Technology

The Kyocera GBA insert family introduces advanced material grades specifically designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of continuous and interrupted grooving:

• MEGACOAT NANO EX Coating: Multi-layer nano-coating structure rich in aluminum provides exceptional high-temperature hardness, oxidation resistance, and crater wear protection.
• PR2015 Grade: First recommendation for steel and cast iron, offering an optimal balance of hardness, toughness, and superior wear resistance for continuous cuts.
• PR2025 Grade: Stability-oriented grade for steel and first recommendation for stainless steel, featuring maximum fracture resistance during heavy interrupted grooving.
• GM Chipbreaker: Molded chipbreaker geometry provides smooth chip curl and evacuation, preventing surface clouding and groove wall scratches.

Machining Performance & Material Applications

Internal evaluations demonstrate that Kyocera GBA inserts maintain a flat, mirror-like groove bottom finish and significantly outperform competitor tools in side flank wear and impact resistance (withstanding over 60,000 impacts in interrupted SCM440 steel testing).
