Milling tools for your success

In addition to the digital transformation and improvements in terms of sustainability, many aerospace companies are also focusing on increasing efficiency while maintaining the highest quality and reducing costs.

In the field of metalworking, this means that often difficult-to-machine materials for landing gears, structural components or turbine blades must be processed reliably in a short period of time. Extremely tight manufacturing tolerances also require high-precision machining. Complex geometries also need to be produced. The sophisticated designs require innovative tools and milling strategies.

Titanium alloys, which are often used in structural components and landing gears, have high strength combined with low weight, but are also associated with high tool wear and the material's low thermal conductivity can lead to heat build-up at the cutting edge. Aluminum alloys are also lightweight materials with high strength. In contrast to titanium alloys, however, these alloys are easy to machine at high cutting speeds.

Nickel-based alloys for turbine blades are heat-resistant. The alloys retain their high strength even at high temperatures, which drastically increases tool wear. In addition, high cutting forces are required, which place a heavy load on the machines.
