Seco Tools’ Secomax CS300 ceramic inserts and cutter bodies are designed to boost productivity in milling and turning operations with heavy interrupted cuts on nickel-based heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA). The cutters are said to increase productivity by up to eight times over standard carbide milling and are ideal for machining a range of components for aerospace and power generation turbine segments.
The inserts are SiAlON-type ceramics that offer high notch wear resistance, toughness and thermal shock resistance. The inserts provide flank wear resistance at higher cutting speeds ranging from 1,970-3,940 ft. (600-1,200 m) per minute and enable feeds from 0.002-0.006” (0.05-0.15 mm) per tooth. Combined, these attributes reduce machining cost per workpiece, increase output and lower energy consumption.
