Turning of Aluminium Alloy component
23:24


The main alloying element in Aluminium alloys is Silicon, and the more Silicon is added, the more abrasive the material becomes. This means that the cutting speed has to be adjusted based on the Silicon content.

General recommendations for PCD are:
  • Low Silicon (< 8%) Cutting speed 600 – 2,500 m/min
  • Medium Silicon (8 to 15%) Cutting speed 450 – 1,300 m/min
  • High Silicon (> 15%) Cutting speed 100 – 1,000 m/min

Seco Tools have a range of PCD-grades covering these alloys, from general grades for the low Silicon alloys to grades better suited to handle the abrasiveness of high Silicon alloys.

PCD05 is a grade that has superior performance in machining of these high Silicon Aluminium alloys. It is a small grain size grade with excellent edge toughness and wear resistance.

In a recent project, a high Silicon Aluminium alloy component was machined. The application included axial turning and facing with a RPGW0803M0F-LF insert at the following cutting data:
  • Cutting speed 150 m/min
  • Feed rate 0.3 mm/rev
  • Depth of cut 0.5 mm
The result shows the superior performance of PCD05. Tool life was doubled, and the surface of the component was also more shiny, which was important for the customer.

I would like to show thanks to the writer for bailing me out of this challenge. Just after looking through the online world and coming across notions that were not productive, I figured my life was done. Being alive without the presence of strategies to the difficulties you've resolved by means of this review is a serious case, as well as ones which might have negatively affected my entire career if I hadn't discovered your blog post. Your personal expertise and kindness in playing with the whole lot was vital. I don't know what I would have done if I had not come across such a step like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks very much for this professional and result oriented guide. I won't think twice to recommend your web blog to anybody who should have support about this situation.
