Machining Inconel With Ceramic

Cold drawing metal hardens the work surface.

Machining inconel with ceramic.

At superior machining we specialize in inconel machining and have developed and mastered an approach which will create your product with high quality consistency and on a timely basis. Ceramic machining applications ceramic grades can be applied in a broad range of applications and materials. What is inconel machining. Pushing the envelope with inconel machining.

Inconel refers to a family of superalloys characterized by their high nickel content and their extreme resistance to oxidation corrosion and scaling in high temperature environments. The primary application for grade cc6060 sialon is milling inconel 718 engine castings and oil drilling equipment in both cases due to the high metal removal rates. How to use ceramic tooling. Why ceramic tooling works in nickel based alloys.

Maybe that s 3 but i m going to call it one. We still run older mitsui seiki horizontal mills and older mori seiki lathes because they are so rigid. When inconel is work hardened tooling can wear out as heat and pressure builds. For machining blisks emag specialists developed a pecm system with 11 machining stations that drill contour radius machine and polish workpieces.

2017 encountered notch at the end of the depth of cut as the prevailing wear mode when whisker reinforced ceramic tools were used. Machining of inconel 718 with whisker reinforced ceramic tool gave better performance in terms of tool life under high pressure coolant supplies up to 15 mpa compared to conventional coolant supplies. This makes inconel even harder to work causing more stress to tooling. Machine rigidity fixture rigidity and tooling rigidity.

High tensile inconel material is machined at a feed rate of 5mm per minute achieving tolerances between 0 1mm and 0 3mm. Start with a solutionized piece of metal. Top 7 tips on machining inconel hastelloy monel and other nickel alloys. Most often in high speed turning.

Modular pecm machines can be tailored to suit individual component. This webinar will discuss. With an ingersoll ceramic insert some creative toolpath programming extra attention to heat management and a willingness to burn through inserts to maximize throughput the busy ball turning operation has quadrupled throughput. We will be discussing what it takes to successfully use solid ceramic tools in your inconel machining processes the tips and tricks to implementing this tooling and the do s and don ts of being productive with it.
