Implementation of Turn-Mill Compound Machining
Turn-mill compound machining, also known as multi-tasking machining, integrates turning and milling operations into a single machine tool to perform complex part processing in one setup. Here’s how it is achieved: 1. Integrated Machine Architecture Multi-Axis Control: Modern turn-mill centers feature 5-axis or more capabilities, combining rotary axes (e.g., B-axis for milling head tilting) with linear axes (X, Y, Z). Dual […]
Types of Steel Used in Investment Casting
In investment casting, various steel types cater to diverse component needs. Choices, driven by specific product requirements, include: Carbon Steel: General-purpose use. Offers cost-effective strength. Alloy Steel: Enhanced properties with alloying elements. Improved strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel: Known for corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance. Different grades (e.g., 304, 316) offer varying properties. […]
