TungCut – Aircraft parts- AH8005
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND TOOL LIFE
When parting off INCONEL 718 on a CNC lathe, the previous tool setup struggled to maintain both productivity and tool life due to the challenging nature of this heat-resistant superalloy.
By adopting Tungaloy’s TungCut with the high-performance AH8005 grade—offering a robust clamping system and a PVD coating engineered for wear and fracture resistance—the operation achieved a significant boost in efficiency and reliability.
This change resulted in a 40% increase in productivity and extended tool life by over 65% compared to the conventional solution, delivering stable machining and reducing downtime.
