HIGH-FEED CUTTERS INCREASE METAL REMOVAL RATES UP TO 5 TIMES ON TOUGH MATERIALS

The patented Stellram 7792VXE16 high-feed shell mill cutter from ATI Stellram Metalworking Products yields high levels of material removal rates in titanium, nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, titanium-based alloys and other difficult-to-machine alloys.

The patented Stellram 7792VXE16 high-feed shell mill cutter from ATI Stellram Metalworking Products (LaVergne, TN) is designed to yield the highest levels of material removal rates in titanium and other difficult-to-machine alloys, such as nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys and titanium-based alloys.

Stellram 7792VXE16 milling tools direct cutting forces axially into the spindle, lessening spindle wear and improving machining stability. Both modern and older equipment can benefit from the adoption of this cutting tool technology.

These Stellram face mills take repeated shallow depths of cut and operate at very high feed rates. High feed rates increase metal removal rates up to 5 times greater than conventional cutters, dramatically reducing component costs. In addition to high-feed face milling, the 7792VXE16 tool is capable of pocketing, slotting, and plunging.

Inserts for the 7792VXE16 cutters feature four cutting edges for improved tool economy. Many insert grades are available:
– Grade X500 is a member of ATI Stellram’s high performance premium X-Grade technology family of carbide inserts designed for the toughest applications in nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys.
– Grade X400 is a high performance premium X-Grade insert designed for the toughest of applications in steels and hardened materials to 53HRC.
– Grade SP6519 offers the combination of a tough substrate with the latest generation of TiAlN super nano coating making this a versatile grade equally suited for high temperature alloys and stainless steels.
– Grade SC3025 offers the combination of a tough substrate and a wear-resistant CVD coating to enhance performance in difficult cast iron machining conditions and is equally suited for either grey or ductile cast irons.
