Sandvik Coromant hosts seminar on heat-resistant alloy machining

September 15, 2017

Coromant, the cutting tool division of the Sandvik Group, held a machining seminar at its headquarters on September 15, 2017, with 50 participants in attendance (see photo).

The seminar focused on machining heat-resistant alloys, drawing attendees involved in the processing of aircraft parts. During the turning session, “CoroTurn Prime” was introduced, while “Ceramic Milling” was featured in the milling section.

The presentation also included techniques for round-tip tool machining, such as adjusting cutting depth, approach angle, and contact angle for optimal performance.

Following the seminar, participants moved to the showroom to observe live demonstrations of machining refractory and titanium alloys using high-pressure coolant. The benefits of high-pressure coolant—such as improved chip control, extended tool life, and higher cutting speeds—were clearly explained while participants watched the machining center in operation and confirmed the tools’ effectiveness.
