An aircraft engine is a device that sprays fuel into air compressed by turbines to facilitate continuous combustion and generate high-temperature gases. In manufacturing critical components like combustion cases, choosing the right tools tailored to the machining process is essential. The ability to accurately and efficiently machine complex shapes is crucial for achieving high functionality and cost reduction. Tungaloy’s proprietary technology provides effective solutions, including optimal cutting tool shapes and accumulated expertise, even for machining complex-shaped parts made from materials that are difficult to cut and cause rapid tool wear.
Tooling concepts
Improves productivity and prevents chattering on thin wall parts
Application of low cutting force tools to achieve high speed and high D.O.C
In order to maximize the performance of the 5-axis machine, apply multi-functional tools and machining methods such as ramping and contouring
Applying grooving tools to profiling turning operations allows for machining with a single tool, achieving tool consolidation and reducing machining time.
External turning with grooving tools induces a pseudo-small approach angle caused by holder flexure, resembling a high-feed cutting edge. This high-feed cutting edge proves effective in prolonging tool life during difficult-to-cut materials machining.
Multi-functional system for diverse grooving needs
Process 3: Rough milling
Benefits
Ideal for machining difficult-to-cut materials due to its 4-corner positive insert
The UER cutting edge design, with a 7° approach angle and a low cutting angle specification, is effective for extending the tool life in Inconel machining
High rake angle reduces cutting force
Low cutting force and high rigid insert clamping helps to achieve stable milling processes
