Difficult materials, complex shapes, precise specifications, higher production rates and tighter timelines are some of the many unique factors that make manufacturing aerospace components so challenging.
Sandvik Coromant has the expertise and resources to deliver comprehensive solutions including the tools and the critical process knowledge necessary for reducing non-cutting time and optimizing cutting performance.
Shops often fail to realize what good candidates they are for a heavier and more rigid machining center. If it is possible to cut deeper and faster, and you would profit by cutting deeper and faster, then you are losing money by not cutting deeper and faster.
Coromant Capto C10 extends the standard range of this modular tooling system to allow manufacturers either to perform most machining operations more efficiently on challenging materials such as titanium or HRSA or to provide a platform for heavy machining applications such as those in the aerospace, power generation and railway industries. The C10 is a stable, strong coupling that can handle the increased forces in demanding heavy machining operations.
The C10 coupling of Coromant Capto offers the same flexibility, quick change, modularity and standardization of tooling as the other coupling sizes of this well-established modular tooling concept, and extends those benefits across all machines involved in heavy-duty applications.
Airbus A380 is the largest passenger plane around. But behind that massive glory lies some really demanding crafting. Just ask the guys at Hartwell. It was their job to make the engine latches, which contain a new spring shaft component that had to be made of out the super-hard Inconel 718.
S40T is developed for difficult conditions in titanium milling. It combines cemented carbide, having high toughness, with a thin CVD coating. The result is a grade that withstands vibration and other difficult cutting conditions for longer times in cut. The wear is predictable, making the cutting edge gradually duller without breaking.
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and stacked materials with metal alloys are gaining importance within the aerospace industry. CoroDrill 854 and CoroDrill 856 have been developed to meet these high demands and to achieve best possible hole quality, process security and cost-per-hole economy.
S30T has been developed with productive titanium milling in focus. It combines the properties of micro-grain carbide and a wear resistant PVD coating.
Machining of titanium alloys demands materials technology excellence. The thermal, chemical and mechanical loads that the cutting edges are subject to come close to the limits of every known cutting tool material.
Titanium has for some time been one of the materials of choice within the aerospace industry because of its superior strength-to-weight ratio. But the very properties that make titanium an airplane designer’s dream make it a machining nightmare.
CoroMill 490 is the first in a new generation of highly accurate milling tools. It offers lower tool costs while also giving greater flexibility, higher precision and better tolerances. Use the CoroMill 490 and create exceptional surface finish and true 90° shoulders at small depths of cut.
