Micro tooling system speeds up auto lathe changes
Quick-change tooling system for automatic lathes, featured in the "Micro Machining Tools" catalogue, has achieved time savings of up to 40% and can be used in turning and boring operations.
The grade also provides excellent tool life at lower cutting speeds.
This new cutting material was developed for roughing and finishing materials such as Inconel and other nickel-based alloys.
It can however also be used for turning steel and iron workpieces.
Whisker-reinforced KY1525,(patent pending), offers the optimum combination of wear resistance and toughness.
KY1525 is ideal for applications in the aerospace industry (machining rings, casings, hubs, compressors, fans and rotors) and for general machining (pumps, petroleum industry and transmission components).
The aluminum oxide and nitride composition reduces depth of cut notching and provides better thermal shock resistance when compared to conventional aluminum ceramics.
Insert cutting edges are available with both T landed and honed options for optimum machining in all areas of application.
