Seco Tools has released the first grade developed with its DurAtomic coating process, the TP2500, which is useful for a wide variety of applications. The company says the coating process provides this multi-function grade with both wear resistance and toughness, two characteristics that are normally diametrically opposed. The process manipulates the coating at the atomic level by altering the crystal structure of the aluminum oxide (AL2O3) layer. This produces a functionally graded substrate structure that provides edge toughness without sacrificing strength, the company says.
This new quick-change tooling system enables shops to get more production from their Swiss turning centers through reduced tool setup time and matches the performance of a solid tool.
There are usually better solutions to chatter than just reducing the feed rate. Through vibration analysis, the chatter problem can be solved, enabling much higher metal removal rates, better quality and longer tool life.
Moving to a robust line of indexable drills enabled this shop to dramatically alter the manufacturing process for a problem part, doubling its profitability.
