Turbine casing
Typically made from inconel or waspalloy, these most challenging of materials pose problems, not so much in the turning operations, but particularly with the amount of milling required in manufacturing this component and the large amounts of material to be removed.

Helical ramping
a hole from solid
Helical ramping of larger diameter holes with CoroMill® 300 provides the most secure and productive method here.
The cutting forces are much lower than drilling, which also struggles with the interrupted exit into the bore. | |
Ramping down to 32mm hole diameter is possible and CoroMill 300 also comes with the advantage of Coromant Capto® coupling and through spindle coolant.

 | Dramatic productivity increase with ceramic turn milling
To be successful with this type of application careful process planning is required. Unlike the conventional optimized method with carbide, ceramic face milling runs at a speed of 1000m/min, removing the same amount of metal but 5 times faster.
For best results, follow the guidelines of our dedicated HRSA application guide.
