On December 16, 2012, Fu Nike, the leading PCBN tool manufacturer in China, successfully organized its first PCBN tool technology seminar focused on brake disc processing in Dongying, Shandong. The event aimed to introduce advanced cutting solutions and improve efficiency in the brake disc manufacturing industry. Attendees included representatives from over 20 companies across Dongying, Zibo, Weifang, and Hebei, with key personnel from production, R&D, and procurement departments actively participating.
The seminar covered key topics such as the machining process of brake discs and the application of high-efficiency PCBN tools. Through live video demonstrations and interactive Q&A sessions, common challenges in the industry were discussed in depth. As one of the largest brake disc production hubs in China, Shandong is home to around 200 manufacturers, most of which rely on traditional coated carbide or ceramic inserts. These tools typically process only 20-50 pieces before needing replacement, leading to frequent downtime and low productivity—issues that have long been a concern for many local manufacturers.
PCBN (Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride) inserts offer a superior alternative, with exceptional hardness and wear resistance, making them ideal for machining gray cast iron. Fu Nike’s PCBN inserts have demonstrated excellent impact and heat resistance, earning recognition from leading brake disc producers like Yantai Resort. This has made the company’s tools highly sought after in the region.
During the event, Fu Nike’s technical support engineer Huang Jiangang delivered a detailed presentation on the application of PCBN tools in automobile brake disc manufacturing. He introduced Fu Nike’s high-performance PCBN solutions, including solid polycrystalline and ultra-hard welded tools, which are designed for efficient gray cast iron machining. By analyzing real-world cases and showing practical application videos, he highlighted the advantages of these tools compared to conventional inserts.
Participants were particularly impressed by the performance of Fu Nike’s PCBN inserts, which offer three times the efficiency and blade life compared to traditional options. Following the presentation, there was an active discussion, with Fu Nike engineers addressing specific questions raised by the attendees. In response to the strong interest, the company provided trial blades on the spot and arranged for on-site technical support in the coming days.
This combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on guidance received widespread praise from participants. It not only broadened the understanding of traditional brake disc manufacturers but also helped address long-standing issues related to low productivity and high costs. The seminar marked a significant step forward in promoting advanced machining technologies within the industry.
