The new Boehlerit carbide harrow blades as an optimal portfolio addition for mechanical weed control
In the 2022 season, the launch of the carbide harrow blade introduced the next step of the innovative carbide hoe blade for tough working conditions on combination seed drills compared to a backhoe. The cultivator share may also be used as a hoe blade in more difficult operating conditions. The Boehlerit harrow blade was one of the 20 products nominated for the Systems & Components Trophy at the Agritechnica 2022. In order to ensure that the product can withstand higher working speeds as well as more intense working depths and shocks, a reinforcement with an integrated tip is welded on. The thickness of the carbide segments was also adjusted in order to maintain the wear ratio between the carbide inserts and the steel hoe. The carbide harrow blade is available in widths of 100 – 200 mm and in 20 mm gradations with a range of intake elements for sprung tines.
The carbide cultivator sweep for stubble working and weed control was launched in spring 2019 and is now available in an optimised, reinforced version, with an integrated tip. The slightly lowered position of the tip makes digging easier and the specially arranged, small carbide segments retain their cutting power throughout the tool life of the product.
In addition, they provide outstanding operational quality and a high level of wear protection, retaining their operating width right until the end of the tool life. Carbide side elements are placed in such a way as to form a constant cutting line and absorb shocks during the working of the soil. The innovative "beaver's tooth" effect was also optimised, making the self-sharpening properties of the carbide cutting edge even more efficient. A complete novelty is the welded-on reinforcement in the intake area, which helps to prevent share breakage. The fact that the tip is integrated in the reinforcement means that it is fully protected. The carbide cultivator sweep is available in the widths 200 mm, 260 mm and 300 mm. In the 2022 season, two more sizes were added (370 mm and 420 mm), for particularly large working widths.
FN geometry determines the processing pace
The newly designed FN geometry perfectly complements the existing range thanks to its unique chip former that reaches far into the corner radius, thereby achieving a chip break even with smaller feed depths. Depending on the machining process, there are two grades available: The BCN10T (HC-N10) grade is ideal for the processing of alloyed aluminium materials and NF metals. Thanks to its PVD TiAlN layer, it is also suitable for stainless steels and grey cast iron. The BWN10T (HW-N10) milling grade, on the other hand, is best suited for the machining of low-alloy aluminium and NF metals with medium to high cutting speeds. .
The longitudinal- and circular weld seam millling tools from Boehlerit
guarantee maximum precision and tool life in addition to maximum performance
A very essential part of the weld seam preparation of offshore wind towers is the right milling tool. Here, Boehlerit meets the challenges placed on the products due to the enormous workpiece dimensions. And these lie, among other things, in the tool life of the milling tools, which in the specific application reach diameters of between 950 and 1,100 mm. For optimal preparation of the weld seam, it has to be milled in several passes to a depth of two thirds of the material thickness. The lengths to be machined are therefore very large, but a constant tool change would be to the detriment of productivity and ultimately economic efficiency. Boehlerit offers decisive advantages here, because the inserts, which are specially designed for the required geometries, impress with maximum performance and long tool life, even with materials that are difficult to machine." In addition, high feed rates are possible.

Innovations in the field of carbide, coating as well as chip flow enable the development of a completely new grade generation for the steel turning process. The perfect coordination of these parameters leads to the new, economical steel turning grades BCP10T, BCP15T, BCP20T and BCP25T. The new Boehlerit steel grades offer excellent performance and machining reliability throughout the turning process. The new BCP10T and BCP15T grades are recommended for medium applications at high cutting speeds, long engagement times and stable roughing applications, while the BCP20T and BCP25T grades achieve excellent results at medium cutting speeds. The new turning grades are the ideal solution for the increasing challenges in the entire process of steel turning. With maximum economic efficiency, Boehlerit is the ideal, innovative partner.
Quattrotec
Intelligent turning applications with new EasySafe system now extended
With the introduction of the new Quattrotec tool system, Austrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit makes it possible for users to drive down costs further, in an even broader material range. Thanks to the special design of the base body, four machining operations – drilling into solid material (including off-centre drilling), inside turning, face cutting and longitudinal turning – may be performed with low vibrations and just a single tool. The EasySafe system is the uncontested highlight of the Quattrotec: A notch on the underside of the indexable insert ensures that it can be fitted into the seat speedily and 100% correctly. Easy to install, safe to use!
In a tried-and-tested, highly diverse range of grades, Boehlerit combines substrates of different levels of hardness, with either a wear-resistant CVD coating or a universal, process-safe PVD coating. The Kapfenberg-based tool specialist uses different carbide substrates that are coordinated in such a way as to achieve optimised machining properties. The market launch at the EMO in Hanover already saw no less than six directly pressed grades, and two more ground varieties for non-ferrous metals will be added in the next development phase. This means that the optimal cutting material will be available for almost every application.
The innovative Quattrotec tool programme reduces machining and tool changing times, saves tool places and makes it possible to drill flat-bottomed blind holes. At the same time, this highly stable tool system that was developed from scratch also offers improved process safety and increases efficiency and flexibility during application.
