Focus is on cutting 'hard to machine'
materials
Metal cutting tools maker has decided to focus its business on 'hard to machine' materials like stainless, nickel and cobalt-based alloys, and titanium.
"I think we're the best-kept secret in the metalworking business And when customers see what we can do, they agree with us," said Dave Hogan, president of ATI Metalworking Products, Stellram's parent company

Three-in-one cutter boosts milling effectiveness
Combining three milling functions into one cutter reduces tooling inventory costs and simplifies programming when machining cast irons, steels, and ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
Securing higher performance in milling
High productivity and security is offered by the Stellram 7702 multi-functional tooling intended for mould and die machining and milling operations in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Hogan has a good case: After 75 years, Stellram has a remarkable history of creating and introducing new tooling ideas, but doesn't always get the credit for its innovation.
But that may be about to change.
In the last few years, more and more customers have begun to notice that Stellram is the company that seems to have the answers to many of the more difficult metalworking questions.
And Stellram does not hesitate to share its expertise with customers who ask for ideas.
"We have decided to focus our business on 'hard to machine' materials like stainless, nickel and cobalt-based alloys, and titanium," Hogan said.
"We have developed unique approaches for working these materials - many of them exclusive to Stellram." Hogan noted that Stellram has a unique advantage: Allegheny Technologies, Stellram's parent company, is the manufacturer of many of these hard to machine metals, and the technology transfer between organisations provides new insights for machining success.
"We better understand the metals, so we better understand how to work them," he said.
"And we work hard to share our knowledge with our customers. Request a free brochure from Stellram ...
As our role as a partner in our customers' success expands, we see this as becoming more and more important in the future.".
