The term âadditive manufacturingâ? encompasses many technologies; 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping, Direct Digital Manufacturing, layered manufacturing and additive fabrication.
Sandvik Coromant, a division within Sandvik Machining Solutions, has reached an agreement to acquire the privately owned US-based company Dura-Mill Inc.
It may still be a full year before the inaugural Machining World Exhibition takes place in Maastricht, the Netherlands, but Hans Heiden, Bandsaw Business Development Manager at BAHCO, is already looking forward to the event.
APWORKS, an industry provider of 3D printing services and products, has launched AMXpert, a new online platform, software solution, and 3D printing market place for additively manufactured metal parts.
Since its inauguration in 2016, Toscotec’s fully integrated plant has been operating at full capacity, implementing the entire production cycle of Toscotec’s TT SYD, from metalworking, precision mechanical machining to thermal treatment and surface metallization, up to non-destructive tests and certifications.
According to rare metals supplier Firmetal, titanium alloy material is difficult to machine due to its high strength, hardness, processing required to produce surface hardening layer, low material coefficient of thermal conductivity, small modulus of elasticity, the spring back amount of the cutting machining surface is large, the friction of the cutter knife, adhesive, and adhesive wear.
The recent advancement of compacting and turbocharging technologies for automotive engines due to the improvement of fuel efficiency as well as the expansion of the aerospace market have increased the demand for the drilling of components made from exotic alloys such as stainless steel, titanium alloys and heat-resistant alloys.
As an emerging manufacturing process, Additive Manufacturing (AM) not only has the potential to change the landscape for product development, manufacturing and logistics, it can also improve sustainability across a variety of industries.
Sandvik has appointed Göran Björkman as new president of business area Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT) and member of the Sandvik Group Executive Management Team.
Nadine Crauwels has been appointed as the new President of Sandvik Coromant and will be responsible for continuing to develop the company as the leading supplier of tools, tooling solutions and know-how to the manufacturing industry.
Stainless steel can be machined using a variety of methods depending on the specific type of stainless steel and the desired outcome. Here are some common methods of machining stainless steel:
Turning: This involves rotating the stainless steel workpiece on a lathe and using a cutting tool to remove material from the surface.
Milling: This involves using a milling machine to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece using a rotating cutting tool.
Drilling: This involves using a drill bit to create holes in the stainless steel workpiece.
Grinding: This involves using a grinding wheel or other abrasive tool to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): This involves using a small electrical charge to erode material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.
Laser Cutting: This involves using a high-powered laser to cut through the stainless steel workpiece.
It’s worth noting that machining stainless steel can be more challenging than machining other metals due to its hardness, toughness, and tendency to work-harden. Therefore, it’s important to use appropriate cutting tools and machining parameters to ensure a high-quality finished product.
