Aircraft Component (Titanium Alloy)-SE16 Face Milling Cutters

In machining this titanium alloy for an aircraft component, the ap for our SE16 insert was 5mm. Cutting was very stable during the machining process with little vibration. Thus, the surface roughness is 1.6-3.2. The machine load was aboout 25%. Machining time was 40 minutes.

The ap for the competiing insert was 1.5mm. Their surface finishing did not meet the requirement, so after roughing, they have do finishing again. Their machining time was 60 minutes.

Both inserts have similar tool life. 

Our competitor was an international brand, so our price is 30% of theirs. 

In short, we save costs for clients by 70% while improving their machining efficiency by 30%!
