Milling developments for titanium machining

Author: Christer Richt

Snap-shot from article:
Titanium as a work piece material is finding its way into most machine shops with milling being the dominant machining method particularly in structural parts. Material removal rate is becoming an increasingly competitive factor for jobs but is not as easy to achieve in this material having challenging machinability. But new tool and process developments are providing this increasingly useful design material with new possibilities to improve machining costs.



Milling developments for high speed machining

Author: Christer Richt

Snap-shot from article:
High speed machining is not new; as a concept it has been around in some industries, like the die and mould, for several decades. As a process, it was seen to be small cutting tools running on high spindle speed machines. Today, however, high speed machining has a broader perspective with new milling cutter concepts.

High speed machining (HSM) has today taken off more widely thanks to developments by makers of machine tools, machine controls, software, cutting tools as well as research by institutions. Probably most important, the actual process of HSM has come together - not only in theory - but in practice throughout machine shops. Innovative milling tool developments have made HSM a more practical and profitable way of machining in the die and mould industry.
