TungCut -Aircraft parts- AH6235
IMPROVE TOOL LIFE
When machining the backside flange of aircraft parts made from Inconel 718, frequent insert failure and insufficient tool life were challenges during heavy interrupted grooving operations.
By introducing TungCut with grade AH6235—engineered for superior wear and fracture resistance on demanding superalloys—process stability was significantly improved.
As a result, tool life doubled compared to the previous solution, reducing insert changes and contributing to higher operational efficiency.
