Start with a soft approach


As with all technical processes, preparation is everything.

Prior to HPT, perform soft machining with a Sandvik Coromant wiper insert to create the best possible conditions for HPT. Correct soft machining equalizes surface topography and stabilizes hardening effects.

It will also permit completely dry HPT and minimize inheriting surface imperfections. Due to the relatively small depths of cut in HPT, close dimensional tolerances in soft machining are one of the keys to HPT process consistency.

Enter and leave process-sensitive areas correctly when soft machining.

Points to remember when planning your soft machining conditions include:

-
Avoid burrs
-
Keep close dimensional tolerances
-
Chamfer and make radii in the soft state
-
Do not enter or leave cut abruptly
-
Enter or leave by programming radius movements

Correctly executed soft machining will allow more reliable HPT.
