4E Geometry Inserts For Aerospace Alloy Turning

Manufacturers, retrofitting existing CMMs with Renishaw's Renscan5 system and infinite positioning REVO head, have applied the system to speed up inspection on some of the more complex, time-consuming parts.


ATI Stellram's 4E Turning Geometry inserts were designed to meet the demands of machining aerospace-type components, manufactured from high nickel, high cobalt, and titanium-based alloys.

Available in grade SP0819, 4E Turning Geometry inserts utilize an approved aerospace substrate, and are enhanced with a Nano TiAIN layer PVD coating for high performance.

According to the company, ATI Stellram's new 4E Aerospace Turning Geometry inserts provide longer tool life, improved component quality, and application versatility.

The 4E's combination of a new super-hard coating with micro-grain carbide substrate significantly improves heat- and wear-resistance in high temperature alloy machining, enabling longer tool life and higher productivity. The 4E's new precise reinforced chipbreaker profile with positive cutting action dramatically reduces built-up edge, leaving a smooth surface finish and greater component dimension integrity. The 4E is designed to machine a wide variety of materials including stainless steels, high nickel, high cobalt and titanium-based alloys, helping to reduce shop inventory, operator error and cost.
