Machining of Nickel-based Alloys

Ceramic cutting materials and whisker ceramics are our successful duo in the machining of nickel-based alloys. The focus is on turning and grooving for roughing and semi-finishing applications. With our ceramic grades LST 320, LST 370 and our whisker ceramic grade RST 330, you can machine your nickel-based alloy components easily and quickly with our top grades. Why not take a look at the performance of our SiALON cutting materials right now?

LST 320

Ceramics for turning, grooving, roughing, semi-finishing, profiling, broaching

Cutting values:

V_c (m/min) = 200 - 350
f(mm) = 0.10 - 0.25
a_p (mm) = 2.0 - 3.0

LST 370

Cutting values:

V_c (m/min) = 250 - 400
f(mm) = 0.10 - 0.35
a_p (mm) = 1.0 - 4.0

RST 330

Cutting values:

V_c (m/min) = 250 - 400
f(mm) = 0.10 - 0.20
a_p (mm) = 1.0 - 2.0

For milling components made of nickel-based alloys, we have ceramic end mills and milling cutters equipped with ceramic indexable inserts for you.

Tool System for High-Performance Machining

Our ICT tool system shows its strengths when process reliability is an important criterion for you when turning HRSA materials. We offer it with and without high-pressure cooling. As a high-pressure tool, the cooling lubricant reaches the effective zone directly and at the same time ensures reliable chip breaking.
