Aerospace materials cut more smoothly
1 min read
ATI Stellram’s new 48 Geometry is specifically designed for machining challenging aerospace materials, such as titanium alloys, through its exceptional chip control capabilities and smooth cutting action.
Better chip formation and ejection are realised by the insert’s high helix features and double positive top rake configuration.
The 48 Geometry’s design allows more contact time between chip and cutting edge, ensuring longer tool life and greater component accuracy.
According to ATI Stellram, this innovative combination generates lower radial forces and minimises vibration thus allowing the machining of more unstable parts, cutting environments or components.
The 48 Geometry is available in grade SP6519, a tough, high-performance substrate which is finished with the latest generation, hard-wearing PVD super nano coating.
The new insert program, also suitable for machining stainless steels as well as high- nickel, high-cobalt based alloys and iron- based alloys, is available in ADET12 and APET16 style inserts with either facet or 1.2 mm, 1.6 mm and 3.2 mm radii.
The full insert program, which will be available shortly, will consist of radii from 0.8 mm to 6.4 mm.
