Register now to learn solutions for high-temperature aerospace machining challenges

High-temperature alloys, also known as superalloys, are extremely valuable in applications such as aerospace manufacturing, as they can be machined at temperatures of more than 1000˚F (540˚C) while resisting corrosion and oxidation. Nobody’s perfect, however, and these materials, which include titanium, Inconel, and others, are notoriously difficult to machine. Upcoming webinar Mastering High-Temp Alloys: 3 Machining Strategies for Solid End Milling Aerospace Components, taking place Tuesday April 22 at 12PM ET, will address the challenges in solid end milling these alloys for aerospace applications.

This interactive session will feature three experts from Kennametal, supplier of superalloy tooling solutions to OEMs around the world, as they detail three key machining strategies:

• roughing with ceramic end mills
• traditional roughing and finishing
• dynamic milling with solid carbide end mills

Danny Davis, Steve George, and Katie Myers will highlight the advantages of each of these techniques and to what applications they’re best suited, connecting machining principles to specific aerospace components. Learn, ask questions, and come away from this free event with new insights on how you can optimize superalloys for your manufacturing applications.
