Ceramic Milling Inconel

In this webinar you will learn about the fastest method of milling nickel based alloys such as inconel.

Ceramic milling inconel.

Also a ntk grade called sx5 and sx9 silicon nitride the speeds for ceramics milling inconel 718 are from 1700 sfm to 3000 sfm 003 006 ipt 020 100 doc. Ntk ceramic cutting tools also make a very very good whisker ceramic grade wa1 a competitor to wg300. Do not remove the built up edge. In contrast an xystin 1 insert can run at 350 to 400 sfm whereas a carbide tool would reach only 150 to 180 sfm.

In this demo a grob access series machine g350a will mill multiple inconel connecting flanges for the aerospace industry on a pyramid fixture using ceramic cutters and large insert drill. Collet chucks are not suitable. Requires high cutting speeds from 350m min to 1000m min. In this test not only the commercial available inserts square type 120408 or button type 120400 but also specially designed cutting edges were tried.

11000 rpm ceramic bits chewing through inconel as if it s butter. We will be discussing what it takes to successfully use solid ceramic tools in your inconel machining processes the tips and tricks to implementing this tooling and the do s and don ts of being productive with it. Cut cycle time down by 6 hrs a part by switching from carbide to ceramic.

High speed machining for inconel 718 was carried out with sic whisker reinforced alumina silicon nitride and tic added alumina ceramic tools. Faster material removal than carbide for certain metals. For instance when machining an imbalanced part made of inconel 718 with a hardness of 46 to 48 hrc the low end cutting speed needed for ceramics to plasticize the material is about 550 to 600 sfm.
