Ultrasonic Pocket Milling Inconel 718
👍🏻 4x Higher Machining Efficiency
👍🏻 75% Longer Tool Life
👍🏻 1.5x Better Surface Quality
Nickel alloy (Inconel 718) is corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and has high mechanical strength. It is widely applied in the aerospace industry and primarily used as the material of aircraft turbine engine components, turbine blade, and other aircraft fasteners.
However, the work-hardening property of this kind of HRSA (Heat-Resistant SuperAlloy) has made chips with high hardness difficult to evacuate under continuous cutting. This leads to BUE (Built-Up Edge) on the tool blade, which not only increases tool wear but also damages the surface quality of workpiece.
The high frequency micro-vibration of HIT ultrasonic-assisted machining technology allowed for intermittent contact between the tool and workpiece. This greatly reduced cutting heat produced by constant contact between the tool and workpiece during conventional CNC machining. It also brought easier inflow of the cutting fluid. With easier chip evacuation, cutting forces were immensely reduced. Surface quality can be 1.5x better with 75% longer tool life under high speed machining.
