HIGHLAND CARBIDE DRIVES CARBIDE TOOL SUCCESS

Highland Carbide from Westerntoolco.com

HIGHLAND CARBIDE SUCCESS STORY

One success Highland Carbide recently made was to convert a brazed tool to a Toolholder and indexable insert for a company that machines a high volume of forged metal castings. Their customer called to review the tooling and application. They discovered that the tool body could be improved with a better design, and that they could drastically improve strength and tool life by going with a heat treated Tool holder and a coated insert.

The result was a win-win… higher production rates, with a lower overall tooling cost and significantly less downtime. At Highland Carbide, significant improvements have come in designing custom Toolholders for specific applications. They can improve geometries to increase the strength and effectiveness of the tool, and pair it with any insert on the market.

METAL CUTTING TOOLS, HOW ARE THEY USED IN INDUSTRY?

Metal Cutting Tools - The Different Industries Where They Are Applied

Guest Post By Richard C. Milton

Metal cutting is not a simple job. Obviously, it cannot be done with bare hands. It is therefore necessary to seek help from equipment or machineries. In this regard, the industrial product known as metal cutting tools have been innovated. Now, they are applied in several industries.
There is a rigid process behind metal cutting. It follows a series of steps before the output may be obtained. It also involves several technologies to come up with the right cut on the metal. Depending
on the type of metal to be cut, several techniques are applied. Below are the different industries that benefit from metal cutting processes and tools.
Automotive industry

The automotive industry is filled with changes to construe with the times. Modern innovations have to be made in each part. Since vehicles like cars and trucks require a lot of cutting and various designs, metal cutting tools are relevant in the process. Stamping die manufacture is thereby needed to produce the essential parts of these vehicles.
Aside from stamping die manufacture to form car parts, the automotive industry requires tools for transmission shafts and gears. Likewise, the tools are needed in engine milling blocks. Industries rendering these materials offer short lead time in order to meet the client's production needs.
Aerospace industry
Just like the automotive industry, aerospace relies upon the use of metal cutting equipment. Specifically, turbine disc, turbine casing and fan casing are produced through the use of these materials. For turbine disc, standard tools deliver the stable functions of the end product. As for proper operation of turbine casings, appropriate amount of milling is required to manufacture the component.
Milling industry
Milling productivity is made possible with the appropriate metal cutting tools on hand. With these types of equipment, lower production cost is attained while reduced inventories lead to savings. It also results to better utilization of the different machines in the industry.
For face milling, the tools work depending on the depth of the cut needed as well as the size and material of the component. It also relies on surface demands as well as the machine type used. With shoulder milling on the other hand, shoulder cutters are designed in order to suit any type of operations for the industry.
As for other tools in the milling industry, different requirements are made for profile milling and slot milling. On top of all things, the tools are geared to cut shapes even in the most complex forms.

CHEMETALL, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WITHOUT PHOSPHATES

Metal meets organic: The new Gardo® Hybrid technology for phosphate-free cold forming operations

The Gardo® Hybrid technology is the first ever cold forming process for steel without phosphates, based on a conversion coating.

The Gardo Hybrid technology is the first ever cold forming process for steel without phosphates, based on a conversion coating. With this innovative technology Chemetall, the global leading surface
treatment company, responds to the market requirement for an environmentally-sound cold forming technology, combined with a high forming performance.
The Gardo Hybrid technology replaces the zinc-phosphate layer by a phosphate-free metal-organic one. This innovative conversion layer provides the same excellent properties and behaviors like a traditional zinc-phosphate. However it fulfills more stringent safety and environmental requirements: the product does not contain any heavy metals and the formation of the metal-organic layer consumes less energy.
Gardo Hybrid can be easily integrated into current cold forming operations since no major modifications to the lubricant, treatment line or application process is needed. The reason for this is that the tribological system was not changed; it is still divided into two parts: the conversion layer providing the unique surface and the lubricant on top
Gardo® Hybrid advantages at a glance:

• Less energy due to lower treatment temperature
• Less consumption
• Reduced sludge formation
• No activation needed
• Free of heavy metals, except iron
• No major change in treatment lines required
• No additional equipment needed
• Safety, health and environmentally-friendly
