Indexable Cutting Tools use Bright Black coating technology.July 5, 2010 -
Designed for machining gray and ductile cast iron, CA4505 and CA4515 carbide cutting tools utilize Bright Black coating technology for resistance to premature wear and fractures. CVD coating provides anti-peeling performance through combination of ultra-fine TiCN layer, alpha-alumina layer, and special-surface top layer, which minimizes material build-up on insert cutting edge. CA4505 is suited for continuous machining, while CA4515 is suited for continuous or interrupted machining.

KYOCERA Launches New Cutting Tools in CA45-Series Coated Carbide Grades for Cast Iron Machining
Two new CVD coated carbide grades feature new Bright Black (BB) coating technology for improved wear resistance in cast iron machining
MOUNTAIN HOME, NC - Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation, Cutting Tool Division today announced its new CA4505 and CA4515 CVD coated carbide grades of indexable cutting tool inserts for machining gray and nodular (ductile) cast iron. Featuring Kyocera's new Bright Black (BB) coating technology, the CA45-series offers superior resistance to premature insert wear and fractures.
There are several key advantages of the Bright Black CVD coated CA45-series, including:
1. Improved CVD coating adhesion provides enhanced anti-peeling performance through optimal layer composition consisting of an ultra-fine TiCN layer, an alpha-alumina layer and Kyocera's proprietary, special-surface top layer.
2. The special-surface top layer treatment reduces material build-up on the insert cutting edge and improves surface finishes on the workpiece, while reducing insert chipping during the machining process.
The two new grades cover a wide variety of applications pertaining to the machining of gray and nodular cast iron:
CA4505 -- excellent wear resistance for continuous machining
CA4515 - ideal for continuous or interrupted general-purpose machining
The CA45 Series inserts will be introduced through a special sales promotion featuring Kyocera's new Double-clamp Toolholders, the ideal partner for CA45-series inserts: buy 20 CA45-series inserts and receive a Double-clamp Toolholder free of charge. This combination of insert reliability and rigid clamping will further enable Kyocera Cutting Tools to provide superior and dependable tool life and performance in multiple cast iron applications.
