Stainless steels & exotic materials - Van Hoorn Carbide

Stainless steels and exotic materials

Super alloys:

Inconel
Hastelloy
Nickel based materials
Titanium
Duplex
Stainless steel

Most common challenges:

Short tool life due to abrasiveness of the material
Vibrations in product, tools or machine, whether or not because of own frequencies

The solution:

Stable clamping of the tool and the product
Using the right coolant
Optimal chip removal

Solutions for machining exotic materials:

VHCH: 4 flute ceramic mill for highfeed strategy
VHCMF: 6 flute ceramic mill for trochoidal strategy
VHTR: special developed mill for trochoidal strategies with chipbreaker
