Tool, Mold & Die City
Meadville, Pa., and the area surrounding the city are home to approximately 150 precision tooling and machine shops. The article explains why this city of 14,000 is such a hotbed of precision machining and entrepreneurship.
Enhanced Performance: General Industry Coverage
The use of compacted graphite iron is continuing to grow, particularly for automobile castings. The benefits of CG iron vs. gray cast iron are its ability to handle heat better and better machinability. The author gives an overview of the material's characteristics and discusses feed-and-speed considerations when machining CG iron.
Farewell to BUE: General Industry Coverage
A new drill point geometry developed by a tool and cutter grinder. The through-coolant drill is ground in such a way that a hollowed out chamber on the face of the tip retains coolant in the cutting zone while hydraulic forces that are created push fluid to the cutting edge.
Under Development: General Industry Coverage
Examined are four recent developments in cutting tool coatings: "smooth" diamond coatings, which incorporates that are nanometer-sized; a process that deposits diamond on carbide substrates via a laser; highly lubricious coatings for dry-machining operations; and a patented system for "locking" conventional coatings together.
