The product range includes CH0550, CBN060K, CH2540 and CH3515 to cover a wide range of applications from ISO H05 to H35. The grades use a new bimodal substrate with coarser grains to maximise toughness and wear resistance for high productivity and long tool life in various machining conditions.

They are well suited for the automotive segment for components such as gears, shafts, rings, CV-joints and pinions that go in the gearbox and driveline of motorcycles, cars and trucks. Other application areas are in the mould and die and bearing segments. Each grade is available in common ISO insert geometries, with or without wipers.
