Users can now obtain practically any thread size in the standard range in the profiles MJ, UNJC and UNJF. Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity, threads with the J profile are preferred in the aerospace sector.
The new arrivals particularly apply to aircraft engine components where difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium (on the ‘cold side’ of the engine) or nickel-based alloys (on the ‘hot side’) need to be machined. The tried-and-tested Walter tool families have been specially developed for these exacting requirements with appropriate coatings or helix angle geometries to enhance performance.
All four tools have an extremely stable design and guarantee high process reliability in difficult-to-machine materials. The Paradur Ti Plus for titanium machining is impressive due to its stable cutting edges and its highly wear-resistant, titanium-free ACN hard coating. This coating prevents the formation of built-up edges and it enables a very long tool edge life with excellent thread quality.
The Paradur Ni 10 for nickel-based alloys is particularly suitable for both cost-effective and reliable machining of difficult materials such as Inconel 718. Likewise, the Prototex TiNi Plus is ideal for the universal machining of challenging titanium and nickel alloys with one tool.
Additionally, the newly added TC630 Supreme orbital thread milling cutters are specially designed for components made of stainless steels and high-tensile materials such as titanium or Inconel with the highest demands on process reliability.
