Introduction
This application guide concentrates on opti-
mizing machining of heat resistant super
alloys (HRSA).
For one of the most challenging material
groups to machine, optimized tools are nat-
urally a prerequisite, but equally important
is how to apply them.
We will guide you through the most com-
mon materials and machining applications.
We aim to give you application and process
recommendations that will help you use our
products in the most productive manner
with maximum process reliability and com-
ponent quality.
Our goal is to support customers with
complete tooling solutions that meet cost
reduction and quality improvment initiatives. Productivity along with quality and reliability
are our focus. When we talk about produc-
tivity you will see that we measure this in
terms of cm
3 /min. It is important to under-
stand the relationship between the combi-
nation of speed, feed and depth of cut and
not just cutting speed alone which is often
the most damaging parameter when consid-
ering tool life.
