(Newswire.net — May 3, 2022) — Products for the aerospace industry have to meet the highest engineering standards. This takes great skill, superior technical knowledge, and the most durable materials. Kennametal metalworking services help your manufacturing company solve challenges and develop products that work in extreme temperatures and under great stress. The following 4 solutions address the need for technical information and ongoing training:
- Technical interactive catalogs that provide in-depth information on metalworking and tooling
- Online courses that cover materials technology and machining economics
- Engineering calculators that provide information on rate cuts and methods for applications
- Webinars that address CFRP drilling and material removal rates for aerospace products
At Kennametal, your team can also find information on technical tips covering machining knowledge, troubleshooting problems, and learning more about tooling systems. Tips also deal with specific applications such as hole making, threading, turning, and milling. Each machine application is broken down further to address issues including tool choice, chatter, wear and breakage, and other concerns.
Blades and Roots To Retain Strength
Quality materials and their customized shapes are at the core of the aviation industry and aerospace machining. Products must be fashioned by the highest quality cutting tools, operated by well-trained machinists. Blades and roots used in fans, discs, and blisks rely on cutting-edge materials, including titanium which is valued for its strength retention at high temperatures and its low thermal conductivity.
Other durable materials include Alpha-Beta alloys, nickel-base alloys, and composite polymers. Additional aerospace solutions come in the form of tools that shape precision instruments:
- Modular end mills equipped with solid carbide for a virtually unbreakable interface
- Hydraulic chucks for accuracy and clamping force in milling and tapping
- Ceramic end mills for applications such as roughing of nickel-base alloys
- Face milling tools for soft cutting capabilities at low speeds and depth of cut options
The best tools are indispensable when it comes to shaping the hardest metals and achieving superior cut efficiency. Whether you are looking for indexable milling or solid end milling or the optimal tools for hole making, threading, and turning, you can equip your shop with the right tools for any job.
Casings Developed To Protect & Last
The complex shape of a durable engine casing is not made by accident. This component calls for many machine applications including turning, rough milling, and finish milling. The process is also likely to require drilling functions such as counterboring, tapping, and reaming. The result is a product that will protect vital engine components under the most challenging conditions.
When you equip your shop with Kennametal tools, you can count on the most advanced tools on the market, as well as the support you need to make informed choices. A broad selection of milling tools allows machinists to cut metal with superb efficiency while tooling systems perform under the most difficult conditions. The best tools are easy to use and versatile, allowing your company to make products that keep the aerospace industry flying high.
The aerospace industry outlook for the future looks to focus on innovation to spur growth. With the right tools for your shop, your company can continue to play a vital role.
