Machining Inconel With Ceramic

Why ceramic tooling works in nickel based alloys.

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. Carefully inspecting tooling is critical for maximizing quality in inconel machining. Top 7 tips on machining inconel hastelloy monel and other nickel alloys. 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.

We still run older mitsui seiki horizontal mills and older mori seiki lathes because they are so rigid. Start with a solutionized piece of metal. 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. 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. Ceramic machining applications ceramic grades can be applied in a broad range of applications and materials. 2017 encountered notch at the end of the depth of cut as the prevailing wear mode when whisker reinforced ceramic tools were used. 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.

What is inconel machining. They also found that attrition and chippings were the dominant wear mechanism and with less importance abrasion and diffusion. Cold drawing metal hardens the work surface. When inconel is work hardened tooling can wear out as heat and pressure builds.

Machine rigidity fixture rigidity and tooling rigidity. Maybe that s 3 but i m going to call it one. This makes inconel even harder to work causing more stress to tooling. For machining blisks emag specialists developed a pecm system with 11 machining stations that drill contour radius machine and polish workpieces.

How to use ceramic tooling. Most often in high speed turning. 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. Pushing the envelope with inconel machining.
