High Speed Machining of Heat Resistant Super Alloys

BIDEMICS, Solid Ceramic End Mills, High Feed Cutters, Groove Duo and Shaper Duo tools from NTK Cutting Tools enable faster cutting speeds for higher productivity.

Posted: May 10, 2017

Booth 5564: BIDEMICS JX1 and JP2 cutting tools from NTK now include honed edge preparation for available geometries to expand the scope of manufacturing applications when machining Heat Resistant Super Alloys.

Booth 5564: Ideal for machining Heat Resistant Super Alloys, the SX9 Solid Ceramic End Mill from NTK produces results of up to 20X higher productivity running at speeds of up to 3,000 sfm.

Booth 5564: For milling aluminum, High Feed Cutters from NTK maximize teeth/cutter to reduce production time, from 7 teeth on the 50 mm diameter cutter to 22 teeth on a 125 mm diameter cutter, and obtain speeds up to 20,000 rpm.

Booth 5564: Ideal for heat resistant alloy and steel mill roll machining, the modular, rigid “Groove Duo” system from NTK uses straight or L-style tool-holder construction with VGW ceramic insert holders, along with a line of holders for RCGX/RPGX ceramic inserts, for each specific application.

Booth 5564: Designed for positioning in the back spindle of Swiss machines, Shaper Duo tools from NTK can create T6 to T30 socket sizes faster and simpler, generating less tool pressure than traditional rotary broaches and greatly reducing cycle times.

In Booth 5564, NTK Cutting Tools USA (Wixom, MI) will display BIDEMICS, an industry-changing tool for machining Heat Resistant Super Alloys (HRSA). Cutting speed potential can soar up to 1,600 sfm, resulting in higher productivity for process applications. Both JX1 and JP2 now include honed-edge preparation (E02) for available geometries, expanding the scope of manufacturing applications.

Also on display for machining HRSA will be a new Solid Ceramic End Mill that produces results of up to 20X higher productivity when running at speeds of up to 3,000 sfm. Constructed of the durable SX9 SiAlON grade, these end mills feature a balance of toughness and wear resistance, making them suitable for even the most demanding applications. The 4-flute and 6-flute options are currently available in inch and metric sizes and are designed with excellent edge toughness, less tool pressure, and better chip evacuation.

Also on display will be an impressive line of High Feed Cutters (HFC) for milling aluminum. This series maximizes teeth/cutter to reduce production time, from seven teeth on the 50 mm diameter cutter to 22 teeth on a 125 mm diameter cutter. The lightweight construction allows more shops to utilize this product (the 125 mm cutter weighs only 2.4 lb) and obtain speeds up to 20,000 rpm. The coolant-through mounting bolt provides excellent chip evacuation.

Also on display will be the new modular “Groove Duo” system with the best rigidity in the industry today. Straight or L-style tool-holder construction for each specific application. Strong clamping and a special wedge design achieves higher accuracy and efficiency without vibrations or distortions. This rigid technology is applied to VGW ceramic insert holders, along with a line of holders for RCGX/RPGX ceramic inserts that are ideal for heat resistant alloy and steel mill roll machining.

for create six-lobe sockets faster and simpler. These tools generate less tool pressure than the traditional rotary broach method. Cycle time is greatly reduced due to the efficient machining process. Shaper duo tooling is designed for positioning in the back spindle of Swiss machines. NTK carries a selection of hexalobular insert bars capable of machining T6 up to T30 socket sizes.
