Our latest project is manufacturing Inconel 718 prototype components for the semi-conductor industry. Big thank you to the ISCAR projects team and everyone involved with the development of these parts.
Using the latest in ceramic cutting tool technology we have managed to half the time it takes to produce these parts (compared with the next best alternative). Inconel 718 (or Alloy 718) is a high-strength superalloy with a nickel-chrome base and is notoriously difficult to machine consistently and without experiencing strain hardening.
This particular
application involved Turning, Drilling, Milling and Thread Milling of small
deep non standard pitch threads and very tight machining limits of better than
5 microns (0.005mm) both dimensionally and geometrically.
By combining both our engineering know how and Iscar’s technical expertise this project was successfully concluded with a presentation to our client before handing over the resulting trial parts.
