Solid Ceramic Endmills For Machining Nickel-Based Superalloys

Following the steady increase in the processing of nickel-based high temperature superalloys (HTSA) such as various grades of Inconel, Incoloy, and Haynes, amongst others, in the aerospace industry, and the demand to decrease production costs, ISCAR has launched solid ceramic endmills that enable increasing the cutting speed by up to 50 times when compared to carbide tools, drastically saving machining hours and reducing production costs.

Available in two configurations—E3, with three flutes for shouldering applications, and E7, with seven flutes, feed mill style for rough applications—the new endmills can also be successfully applied to productive roughing of cast iron and graphite.

The solid ceramic endmills are produced from two ceramic grades: IS6, designed specifically for machining HTSA, and IS35, intended for cutting mainly cast iron and graphite. They are available in 6mm to 20mm diametres.
