HRSA Machining Takes the Heat

By retaining their hardness at the high temperatures generated by machining heat-resistant super alloys, these ceramic cutting tools achieve much greater speeds over solid-carbide tools for higher productivity that reduces cost per part.

Available in S-style (chamfered and honed) and T-style (chamfered) edge preparation, Secomax CS100 from Seco Tools is a SiAlON ceramic grade that provides excellent performance, high productivity, consistent quality and a low cost per part in rough machining of nickel-based heat-resistant superalloys used in the aerospace and power generation industries. Both styles offer high abrasion resistance, superior toughness, extended tool life and high cutting speeds for processing challenging materials.

Highly Productive Machining of Nickel Alloys
Ceramic CoroMill 316 and ceramic CoroMill Plura end mills from Sandvik Coromant are ideal for shoulder and face milling nickel alloy aerospace parts.

Ceramic Inserts and Cutter Bodies Maximize Machining for Aerospace and Power Generation
Ceramic inserts and cutter bodies from Seco Tools optimize machining speeds when cutting parts from heat-resistant superalloys such as Inconel, MAR, RENE, Nimonic and Waspaloy at high speeds.
