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.
The use of these new materials changes the cutting tool's requirements.
Metal removal rates, tool life, product quality, and machining security are critical to efficient and safe component manufacturing.
Today, there is more pressure than ever on cutting tool performance.
That's where products like ATI Stellram's 4E turning geometry excels.
The New 4E geometry is specifically designed to meet the demands of machining aerospace type components, manufactured from high nickel, high cobalt and titanium-based alloys.
Available in new grade SP0819, 4E inserts utilise an approved aerospace substrate for unmatched performance.
ATI Stellram's new 4E Aerospace Turning Geometry provides the following features.
* Longer tool life - the 4E's combination of a new super-hard coating with micro-grain carbide substrate, significantly improves heat and wear resistance in high temperature alloy machining, enabling longer tool life and higher productivity.
* Improved component quality - the 4E's new precise reinforced chipbreaker profile with positive cutting action dramatically reduces built-up edge, leaving a smooth surface finish and greater component dimension integrity.
* Application versatility - the 4E is designed to machine a wide variety of materials including Stainless Steels, High Nickel, High Cobalt and Titanium-based alloys, helping to reduce shop inventory, operator error and cost.
ATI Stellram is a business unit of ATI Metalworking Products, an operating company of Allegheny Technologies, a leading producer of specialty metals, including titanium and titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and superalloys, and stainless steel and specialty alloys.
