The selection of a ceramic cutting tool & grade is an important factor to consider when planning a successful metalcutting operation.  Haydale’s silicon carbide (SiC) whiskers reinforce ceramic inserts to deliver world-class hardness and fracture toughness. The inclusion of SiC provides hardness second only to diamond. Due to long range force distribution provided by the fibre, we are able to achieve this result while maintaining exceptional toughness. Ceramic cutting tools have excellent wear resistance at high cutting speeds and Haydale Ceramic Technologies (HCT), a world leading manufacturer of Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic materials, has the largest installed capacity for volume production across America, Europe and the APAC regions. HCT developed the world’s first whisker reinforced tools, and continues to lead in materials engineering and innovation in this category. Produced in Greer, South Carolina, their Silar® cutting tools are manufactured using the highest quality SiC products, particulate, fibers and microfibers. The inclusion of SiC whiskers provides hardness second only to diamond. Whisker-reinforced cutting tools offer both increased toughness and wear resistance, making them ideal for machining a variety of workpiece materials including Ni-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, hardened steels, gray cast, ductile, nodular irons, and mill rolls. Cutting with reinforced or whiskered, ceramic inserts requires high surface speed and balanced feed rates. Enhanced Silicon Carbide Cutting ToolsHigh cutting forces and high heat cause the metal to plasticize while the Silar ceramic substrate remains in-tact. Whisker-reinforced cutting tools offer both increased toughness and wear resistance, making them ideal for machining a variety of workpiece materials including Ni-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, hardened steels, ductile, and nodular irons, and mill rolls. Silar cutting tools are designed for heavy material removal in roughing and semi-finishing applications and offer the perfect solution for high-speed machining of heat resistant super alloys.
 Aerospace Cutting ToolsAs demand for lightweight materials in the aerospace industry increases, Haydale can manufacture new grades and tooling that specialise in machining hard-to-cut materials. With higher speed and feed rates, Silar cutting tools deliver consistent results and longer life in applications for:
Silar® whisker reinforced ceramic cutting tools are designed for heavy material removal in roughing and semi-finishing applications. They offer the perfect solution for high-speed machining of heat resistant super alloys (HRSA) – Inconel, Waspalloy, Haynes, Monel, Rene, Incoloy, A-286, Nimonic, Udimet, etc. The Silar® CT-25 Grade offers a comprehensive and advanced range of high-speed cutting tool solutions while Silar SBN570 is a high-content CBN grade specifically designed for finishing Heat-Resistant Super Alloys (HRSA's). The high CBN content in SBN570 ensures superior cutting performance and extended tool life when dealing with these challenging materials. It can withstand the high temperatures generated during machining, allowing for efficient and precise finishing operations. Automotive Cutting Tools It is essential for turning and milling tools in automotive applications to wear evenly with minimal maintenance in the most demanding applications. To meet the workflow and high output demands, Haydale has a range of inserts for the automotive industry using SiC whiskers that are long-lasting and deliver consistent and reliable results as well as:
Steel Mill Cutting ToolsHaydale’s steel mill inserts offer an optimal choice for milling fracking blocks and for milling flats on mill roll necks. Steel mill geometries are used to remove heavy material in the most demanding rough turning conditions. Inserts are available for:
Haydale's Silar® inserts are designed for heavy DOC material removal in cast iron, compacted graphite iron (CGI), ductile iron, nodular iron, hardened steels (transmission components), white iron, chilled iron, and powdered metals.

 Yorba Linda, CA – Next Generation Tooling is proud to announce their recent appointment as the exclusive regional managers for Haydale Cutting Tools in the Southern California and Southern Nevada territories.
Haydale Cutting Tools, headquartered in Greer, SC, is a leading innovator in the manufacturing of advanced cutting tools. This partnership signifies a strategic move to enhance the availability and support of Haydale's cutting-edge solutions in the specified regions. Haydale developed the world’s first whisker reinforced tools, and continues to lead in materials engineering and innovation in this category. According to Rob Aldama, Vice President of Next Generation Tooling: "Next Generation Tooling is excited to announce our exclusive agency agreement with Haydale Cutting Tools. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to offering cutting-edge solutions to our clients. Haydale's innovative ceramic tools open new possibilities in precision machining, enhancing efficiency and performance for our customers." Haydale's Silar product offering, renowned for its groundbreaking ceramic cutting tool formulas, includes cutting tool grades such as CT-10, CT-25, and CBN grades SBN550 and SBN570. CT-10 represents a new era in ceramic cutting tool grades, providing exceptional performance in finishing applications for High-Temperature Super Alloys (HRSA's), Irons, and Hardened Steels. Meanwhile, CT-25, a battle-tested ceramic cutting tool grade, is celebrated for its outstanding performance in machining HRSA's, Irons, and Hardened Steels with a hardness of 40+ HRC. The CBN grades, SBN550 and SBN570, are part of Haydale's Silar CBN line, offering versatile and highly efficient tools for various machining applications. SBN570, with its high CBN content, excels in finishing cast irons and HRSA's, ensuring superior cutting performance and extended tool life. On the other hand, SBN550, a low-content CBN grade, is optimized for finishing hardened steels and ductile irons, providing exceptional cutting performance and durability with a focus on cost savings. Next Generation Tooling, as the appointed regional managers, is dedicated to providing comprehensive support and expertise for the Haydale Cutting Tools portfolio. With their established presence and commitment to customer satisfaction, Next Generation Tooling is poised to elevate the accessibility and utilization of Haydale's innovative cutting solutions in Southern California and Southern Nevada. |
