Tooling solutions for machining of turbo charger and turbo housing in ISO K and ISO M materials

A turbo charger – or turbo – is a turbine driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engines efficiency and power output by forcing extra air in to the combustion chamber.
The complex nature of the systems requires manufacturing precision to enable maximized efficiency and downsizing of the engine.
The material on the hot side of the component must withstand temperatures around 1300°C, why austenitic stainless steel is a common material in gasoline engines. Machining of the abrasive material is often characterized by extremely short and irregular insert tool life, uneven wear and difficulties meeting the tight work piece -tolerances.
Besides our extensive standard offer, Sandvik Coromant also have dedicated products and engineered solutions that fully support overtaking the challenges manufacturing these components presents.
Tooling solutions that support the manufacturing of turbo chargers:
ISO K solutions
CoroMill® 745 – multi-edge face milling cutter for best production economy
The patented insert positioning system provides the same light cutting action and performance as a positive single-sided milling cutter, but with a total of 14 cutting edges.

CoroMill® 345 – face mill for high productivity
Cost-efficient face mill for high productivity in terms of feed per tooth and metal removal rate.

CoroMill® 390
Versatile shoulder milling cutters with ramping capability for mixed production.

CoroMill® 490 – face and shoulder mill for precise profiles
CoroMill 490 gives true 90-degree cuts without sharp steps. It uses four-edge inserts with light cutting action. Since the tool produces a smooth profile the need for finishing is efficiently reduced.

CoroDrill® 400 and 430 – flexible and precise drilling solutions
Customized tooling for the automotive industry, the straight flute CoroDrill 400 and 3 flute CoroDrill 430 provide highly productive hole-making in GCI, CGI and nodular cast iron, resulting in low cost per hole.
