Cast Contents: General Industry Coverage
Choosing the right cast aluminum and aluminum alloys from among the hundreds of different grades and the many tempers in each grade requires understanding of the materials' designation system to know their compositions, tempers and properties.
Chips Happen: General Industry Coverage
When single-point boring, parts manufacturers can break and control the long chips from low-carbon steels by taking into account setup, cutting parameters, nose radii and insert shape and sharpness.

Now hear this
Acoustic emission (AE) sensors detect ultrasonic sound waves emitted when the grinding wheel contacts a part or the dressing wheel and send that information to a process control unit. Monitoring the sound waves and comparing them with reference values allows operators to control the grinding and dressing processes. Variations in acoustic emissions indicate changes in cutting forces, which can then be modified. Some AE sensors are stationary while others rotate with the wheels.n

Small Bars, Big Results: General Industry Coverage
Using mini and micro boring bars effectively in Swiss-style machines requires machine shops to know the types of available bars and the ways to strengthen their cutting edges, reduce pressures on the tools and position them for the most efficient cutting.
Now Hear This: Digitalization & Industry 4.0
Grinding machine operators are able to listen to the processes via acoustic emission (AE) monitoring systems and use the information to shorten cycle times and minimize wheel loss from dressing. But, AE sensors need to be positioned to deal with interfering background noise.
Top Tools
There are five tool tips for moldmakers for speeding up production and aiding in highly repeatable, precision machining. Included are deep-hole drills to avoid pecking, high-feed cutters, tools for reducing EDMing, high-precision cutters and PCBN cutting tools.
Alluring Deburring: Testing & Quality Assurance
Magnetic abrasive finishing can deburr and create highly polished, smooth surface finishes. It can also remove microcracks, recast metal, metallurgical phase changes, visible scratches and damaging residual stresses.
The Transformers
Lean manufacturing can benefit medium-size and larger companies by improving productivity and reducing quality problems and lead times. Benefits can be realized even in smaller, highly variable job shops through standardized work, balancing and flowing.
Harder With Silicon: General Industry Coverage
Several types of cutting tools can be protected with coatings harder than regular A1TiN coatings by combining A1TiN grains with an amorphous silicon-nitride matrix.
New Rules of Engagement: General Industry Coverage
High-speed machining can improve productivity, but a shop will need to change its tool settings and toolpath strategies and experiment with feed rates to achieve this goal.
