Tool insert

摘要

A tool insert comprises an abrasive compact layer (56) having a curved working surface (60), at least a portion of which provides a cutting surface, and an opposite surface bonded to a cemented carbide substrate (50) along an interface, at least one cemented carbide projection (58) extending through the compact layer (56) from the compact/substrate interface to the working surface (60) in which it presents a matching surface (62) which defines an island in the compact working surface (60), the total area of the carbide matching surface (62) being less than that of the compact working surface (60). <MATH>
