Machining day proves a success
Published: 07 December, 2015
Designed to share the latest information and expert knowledge on the best and most economical methods of machining duplex and super-duplex material, SANDVIK says its recent machining day attracted more than 60 customers.
Held jointly by Sandvik Materials Technology and Sandvik Coromant at the company’s Halesowen facility, it included presentations and machining demonstrations on how to achieve the best productivity.
Sandvik’s technical marketing manager for primary products, Marcus Hillbom, talked in detail about the material implications on cost effective machining of stainless steels and the main factors affecting machinability. This included a series of guidelines on material, set-up, fixing, insert choice and use of coolant in order to obtain the best chip break and subsequent tool life.

A Caribbean producer of furfural, an organic compound derived from agricultural byproducts, reports it has replaced the existing tube in its heat exchangers with hyper-duplex stainless steel by SANDVIK MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY, and as a result says its tube lifecycles have extended from two to 15 years, with a profound impact on material costs.
GAST, a leading designer and manufacturer of precision air products reports it has launched new LubeFree options for its AM series air motors that utilise a proprietary vane material that provides versatility, allowing users the options to oil or not oil the motor. GAST says this new LubeFree option has expanded its range of 2AM, 4AM and 6AM Series air motors and affords operators the flexibility to modify their maintenance schedules or save money by eliminating oil, lubricator components and system maintenance.
SANDVIK reports it launched new generation Sanmac at IMTS in September, offering a stainless steel material which can significantly increase machining rates.
SANDVIK says adding to its already significant material grade programme, it has introduced Sanicro 60 (commonly known as Alloy 625) in hydraulic and instrumentation (H&I) tubing and heat exchanger form, offering considerable operational benefits particularly for customers installing equipment in harsh environments.
A major aerospace subcontract manufacturer reports it has recently purchased its 6th OMF1000 coolant mist filter from AIRBENCH for use in its dedicated Airbus production facility and says this forms part of a rolling programme of OMF installations; a series of previous OMF units were supplied by ACS and AirBench has continued the programme.
