Raw Material Selection

Suitable materials such as tungsten carbide, ceramics, or high-speed steel are selected based on the blade’s application. These materials must offer high hardness and wear resistance.

Powder Metallurgy

Metal powders are mixed in precise ratios, pressed into shape, and then sintered at high temperatures to form blade blanks.

Imported Press Machine Forming

From importing presses to stamp out blade blanks, to subsequent sintering and coating, every step is strictly controlled, all to provide customers with stable and reliable blade solutions

Oswald Insert Pressing

Specifically designed for pressing various types of turning tool blanks, it enhances blade density and lifespan stability, ensuring more consistent batch dimensions and a more reliable cutting process.

Coating Application

The insert undergoes precision grinding and cleaning before being subjected to PVD/CVD vacuum coating, forming a multi-layered hard coating structure that combines high hardness, wear resistance, and stable lifespan.

Edge Preparation & Passivation

The insert edge is finely passivated to remove small dents and burrs, improve the strength and stability of the insert edge, and thus extend the service life of the insert.

Packaging & Shipping

At HNCarbide, every shipment of APKT carbide inserts is carefully packaged to ensure your tools arrive safely and without damage.
Each APKT insert is placed in a shock-resistant case, clearly labeled with full APKT insert specifications, APKT insert dimensions, and APKT insert size, then sealed with moisture-proof material before boxing.
Large-volume orders of carbide APKT inserts are further protected using double-wall cartons or wooden crates to guarantee safe international transport.
We work with trusted logistics partners to ensure your APKT inserts are delivered quickly and securely by air freight, sea freight, or express courier.

FAQ

APKT inserts are indexable milling inserts designed for face milling, shoulder milling, slotting, ramping, and general machining.
They feature a positive rake angle and optimized chipbreaker geometry, providing lower cutting resistance and stable performance in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum.
Common models such as APKT 1003 and APKT 1604 are widely used in 90-degree shoulder mills and end mill cutter bodies.

Yes. APKT inserts with polished surfaces and sharp cutting edges (often uncoated or DLC-coated) are ideal for aluminum.
These aluminum-grade APKT inserts reduce built-up edge, improve chip evacuation, and deliver mirror-level surface finishing.

APKT insert price depends on:

  • Carbide grade (steel grade vs aluminum grade)

  • Coating type (TiN, TiAlN, AlTiN, DLC, etc.)

  • Precision level of APKT insert dimensions

  • Compatibility with brands like Iscar, Mitsubishi, TaeguTec, Korloy, or ZCC

  • Chipbreaker structure (finishing, semi-finishing, roughing)
