Evaluation of turning machinability criteria for Ni-alloys with high pressure coolant

How does High-Pressure Cooling Supply influence the technical-economic use of different insert grades for turning of nickel-based alloys?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Due to the constant increase in the performance of machining processes, chip removal is becoming increasingly important as a process limit.
  • One effective way to influence chip formation is using a high-pressure coolant supply with different insert grades.

Objective

  • Technical-economic evaluation of CBN turning inserts compared to ceramic and carbide inserts.
  • Analysis of adaptive cooling fluid control.
