The unique physical properties of the JX1 grade permits machining of newer material compositions, such as high nickel and cobalt alloys and powder metallurgy alloys, that are increasingly commonplace in the aerospace sector. Furthermore, the composition of the JX1 series makes it an all-rounder with regard to difficult materials, as it can also be applied to Inconel, Rene, 718 and Waspalloy.
Running at more than double the speeds and feeds of whisker ceramic cutters also enables the chips to break with greater ease, providing more efficient swarf removal.
