NEW CERAedge™coating from MA Ford: harder & smoother

12/17/2014

CERAedge™ is a new coating introduced by MA Ford a while back that is starting to show some tremendous performance improvements when compared to amorphous diamond coatings. It combines the heat resistance of conventional AlTiN coating with the hardness and smoothness of amorphous diamond coatings.

It's ideal for Titanium-clad composite material because of the extreme hardness combined with lubricity. It's Toughness allows for excellent machining performance as well. CERAedge™ has properties that are also ideal for drilling of Titanium clad composites

In aluminum and high silicon aluminum materials we've found that that hardness and lubricity extend tool life by increasing wear resistance.

CERAedge™ is a ceramic coating with extreme properties: It's Hardness that makes it the 3rd hardest material when compared to industrial diamonds
It's toughness that is comparable to Titanium and it's lubricity approaches Teflon and it has an extreme heat tolerance!

CERAedge™ Properties

Hardness of 3,400 Hv
Friction coefficient of 0.06
Oxidation temperature of 1100 degrees C/ 2012 degrees F
Coating thickness of 2 – 3 microns
Non-reactive to Titanium

CERAedge™ Test: 6061 T-6

Material: 6061 aluminum extrusion

MA Ford Tool: Series 138, ½” (12.7mm)diameter
RPM: 22,000
IPM: 300 (7,620 mm/minute)

Current Situation:
Maximum of 5 parts completed per tool with typical lubricious coating.
2,138 linear inches (54 linear meters) per part,
10,690 linear inches per tool (272 linear meters).

CERAedge™ coated 138 series: 42 parts or 92,976 linear inches per tool (2,360 linear m/tool).

870% more linear inches with CERAedge™!

CERAedge™ Test: Phenolic

Material: Carbon fiber reinforced phenolic parts

M.A. Ford Tool: ½” (12.7mm) diamond grind router with CERAedge™ coating
Speed: 2,497 RPM, 325 SFM (100 SMM)
Feed: 30 IPM, .012 IPR (762 mm/minute, .30 mm/Rev)
Cuts: Slotting, pocketing and circular interpolating

The CERAedge™ router ran 20 parts compared to the competitor’s diamond coated router. In addition, the CERAedge™ coated tools improved finish and removed burs on the customer part.

25% more parts produced with CERAedge™!

NEW! Metric AccuPort 432 Port Contour Inserts

1/25/2012

0 Comments

Allied Machine & Engineering has just announced the introduction of i6149 (Metric) style AccuPort 432 Port Contour Inserts made from C-3 carbide with AM200 coating. These inserts have the same geometry as the C-5 carbide TiAlN coated inserts which allows our customers to produce a finished port in one step!

They are stocking both ridged & non-ridged configurations.

Allied expects that the new C-3 AM200 coated porting tools should greatly improve tool life in gray iron manifold applications of up to 50% over their standard C-5 TiAlN inserts. You gotta love when companies like Allied who keep improving their own products when they're already a leader in the field!

Here's how the part numbers work:

NEW! OSG HY-PRO® CARB 3D and 5D Drills! NEW!

9/14/2011

4 Comments

OSG Tap and Die, Inc. has released two new performance drills designed for a multitude of different materials.

The brand-new HY-PRO® CARB 3D and 5D Drills are an ideal compromise between performance and cost-efficiency.

The new design boasts new point and flute geometry that reduce thrust forces and chip size, thereby enabling higher feeds and metal removal rates.

The applied multi-layered TiAlN coating resists thermo-cracking from heat, thus improving wear resistance over conventional coatings. Lastly, the common DIN shank sizes not only improve rigidity, but also reduce the number of tool holders needed to accommodate them.

The HY-PRO® CARB 3D and 5D Drills are engineered for performance and durability, offering unbeatable reliability and affordability users seek in today's competitive market.

The HY-PRO® CARB’s unique flute geometry reduces thrust forces and chip size, enabling it to achieve 1.6 times the durability versus the competitors.
