MillQuadFeed15 – Inconel cladding machining – Flat Top Inserts
IMPROVE TOOLLIFE & PRODUCTIVITY
For shoulder milling of an Inconel 625 cladded valve body, MillQuadFeed Flat-Top inserts were proposed as an alternative to the competitor’s tool. They enabled stable high-feed machining, reducing cycle time by 60%. In addition, tool life was extended by 1.4 times, achieving both higher productivity and longer tool life compared to the competitor’s tool.
