The hip joint consists of the acetabulum, the spherical piece and the metal stem. The joint in a prosthesis is usually made of materials such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. Machining prosthetic joints produces small batches, cobalt-chromium is a wear-resistant material and the rounded arc of the spherical surface requires efficient and safe turning operations.

WSS CBN inserts provide stable and efficient machining of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum prosthetic bone and joint cases with a hardness of HRC 35° in the form of turning and continuous finishing. With suitable machine tools and machining parameters, they can last up to 25 pieces.

The WSS size DCGW11T304-2U CBN inserts offer longer tool life, high strength, less breakage and reduced vibration for higher surface quality in shorter machining times, giving you the edge in bone and joint.
