Abstract / scope
ISO 1832:2004 establishes a code for the designation of the usual types of indexable inserts for cutting tools, in hard cutting materials or any other cutting materials, in the interests of simplifying orders and specifications for such inserts.
It also specifies the designation symbols for cubic boron nitride (BL, BH, BC) inserts, tipped and solid as well as polycrystalline diamond (DP) inserts, tipped.
