The high-performance machining of the curved surfaces with the progressive cutting geometry of the end mill

Abstract

There are some results of practical application of the solid carbide end mill developed in HALTEC Ltd company, using for high-performance machining of curved surfaces of workpieces, which have a complex spatial form. It’s shown how to get high-performance machining of curved surfaces with a multidirectional curvature in heat-treatable and high strength Ti alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-2Zr-2Mo-2Cr-0.15Si [Ti-6-22-22]. The real experience of the implementation of proposed end mill in the technological process of compressor blade machining is described.
