Seco 02551637 Mdt Turning Insert CP200 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02551637 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for demanding cutting operations in CNC turning applications. Part of the SECO MDT series, this insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating over a micrograin solid carbide substrate, providing enhanced wear resistance and edge integrity at elevated cutting temperatures. The insert carries a maximum cutting width of 0.236 inches, a cutting height of 0.177 inches, and a corner radius of 0.118 inches. The neutral hand orientation and LCMR insert style make it suitable for multi-directional toolpaths. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists are the primary installers and users of this insert.

This insert is engineered for primary use on superalloys and titanium alloys, workpiece material codes M and S. It fits into MDT-series toolholders using the LCMR1606M0 insert size code and is well-suited for single-end operations in both roughing and finishing passes where controlled chip formation is required. The MP chipbreaker geometry is optimized for the chip control demands of difficult-to-machine materials. This insert is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for high strength and wear resistance in tough alloys
• PVD TiAlN/TiN coating enhances heat resistance and extends tool life in superalloy and titanium cutting
• Full radius insert geometry supports multi-directional turning toolpaths
• MP chipbreaker designed for controlled chip formation in M and S workpiece materials
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and supports stable tool engagement
• Neutral hand orientation provides flexible setup in MDT-series toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT-series toolholding systems accepting LCMR1606M0 inserts. Primary workpiece material compatibility is superalloys and titanium (material codes M and S). Style designation is LCMR1606M0-0600-MP.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torque should follow the toolholder manufacturer specifications for the MDT series seat. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use appropriate insert handling tools to avoid contact with cutting edges, which can cause chipping or personal injury. Verify insert orientation and seating security before resuming cutting operations.
