WEAR RESISTANCE— THE RELATIVE ABILITY OF THE STEEL TO WITHSTAND THE ABRASIVE ACTION OF DIFFICULT TO MACHINE MATERIALS WITHOUT WEARING AWAY. RED HARDNESS— THE RELATIVE ABILITY OF THE STEEL TO WITHSTAND THE HEAT GENERATED WHEN CUTTING HARD MATERIALS WITHOUT LOSING ITS HARDNESS. M2 H.S.S. (ROCKWELL C63-65) HAS THE HIGHEST TOUGHNESS AS WELL T15PM H.S.S. (ROCKWELL C64-66) HAS HIGH WEAR AND ABRASION AS GOOD WEAR RESISTANCE AND RED HARDNESS, AND IS ALSO THE RESISTANCE PLUS GOOD RED HARDNESS AND TOUGHNESS, AND IS LEAST EXPENSIVE. HIGHER PRICED. M4PM H.S.S. - FORMERLY CALLED SUPERKUT, (ROCKWELL C64-66) HAS 76PM H.S.S. (ROCKWELL C65-68) HAS THE HIGHEST WEAR RESISTANCE HIGH WEAR RESISTANCE PLUS GOOD RED HARDNESS AND TOUGHNESS, AND RED HARDNESS PLUS GOOD TOUGHNESS, AND IS THE HIGHEST AND IS MEDIUM PRICED. WE PRESENTLY USE IT ONLY FOR CUTOFF BLADES PRICED. IT CAN BE USED WHEN NONE OF THE ABOVE STEELS ARE BECAUSE IT HAS PROVEN TO OUTPERFORM COBALT TYPE BLADES. SATISFACTORY. M42 H.S.S. (ROCKWELL C65-68) HAS HIGH RED HARDNESS PLUS GOOD MAXAMET OR 86PM H.S.S. (ROCKWELL C69-71) FOR DIFFICULT TO WEAR RESISTANCE AND TOUGHNESS, AND IS MEDIUM PRICED. MACHINE MATERIALS. OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN SELECTING A TOOL MATERIAL ARE THE LENGTH OF THE RUN, THE TYPE OF MATERIAL BEING MACHINED, THE CONDITION OF THE MACHINE, THE TYPE OF COOLANT BEING USED, TOLERANCES AND FINISHES REQUIRED, AND THE PERSONNEL OPERATING THE MACHINES. WE RECOMMEND THAT, RATHER THAN STANDARDIZING ON ANY SINGLE MATERIAL, YOU ANALYZE EVERY JOB FOR THE MATERIAL WITH THOSE CHARACTERISTICS BEST SUITED TO THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS. AND OF COURSE TO ATTAIN LONGEST TOOL LIFE, OR WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, THE USE OF CARBIDE TOOLING IS THE ULTIMATE CHOICE.

  • Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals
    Lab Sheet for CNC Laboratory Department of Production Engineering and Metallurgy Prepared by: Dr. Laith Abdullah Mohammed Production Engineering – CNC Lab Lab Sheet Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals What is Numerical Control (NC)? Form of programmable automation in which the processing equipment (e.g., machine tool) is controlled by coded instructions using numbers, letter and symbols - Numbers form a set of instructions (or NC program) designed for a particular part. - Allows new programs on same machined for different parts. - Most important function of an NC system is positioning (tool and/or work piece). When is it appropriate to use NC? 1. Parts from similar raw material, in variety of sizes, and/or complex geometries. 2. Low-to-medium part quantity production. 3. Similar processing operations & sequences among work pieces. 4. Frequent changeover of machine for different part numbers. 5. Meet tight tolerance requirements (compared to similar conventional machine tools). Advantages of NC over conventional systems: Flexibility with accuracy, repeatability, reduced scrap, high production rates, good quality. Reduced tooling costs. Easy machine adjustments. More operations per setup, less lead time, accommodate design change, reduced inventory. Rapid programming and program recall, less paperwork. Faster prototype production. Less-skilled operator, multi-work possible. Limitations of NC: · Relatively high initial cost of equipment. · Need for part programming. · Special maintenance requirements. · More costly breakdowns.

    Helping Precision Machine Shops Be More Productive and Profitable Helping Precision Machine Shops Be More Productive and Profitable PMPA Member H & R Screw Machine Products Finds Success in its Wide Customer Base and Diverse Machining Capabilities When it was founded in 1976, H & R Screw Machine Products was no more than a single Brown & Sharpe screw machine in a small building located behind the home of founder, David Halladay. Mr. Halladay, who spent years as a technician in several screw machine shops, dreamed of owning his own company one day. So, with the help of his business partner, Walter Randolph, the two opened H & R Screw Machine Products. What started as a small operation with just two customers evolved into a company that manufactures millions of precision machined components each month in a 38,000-square-foot facility in Reed City, Michigan. Today, the company is run by Mr. Halladay’s sons, Tim and Tom Halladay, who spent most of their lives working their way up through the company. “As a company, we all work very closely together and we try to treat our employees like family,” says Tom Halladay, president of H & R Screw Machine Products. “We have many people on staff who’ve been with the company 10 to 30 years, and they’re a major reason why we’ve succeeded over headquarters also features aqueous parts washing systems, a the years.” quality assurance lab and a scrap and oil processing system.

  • Century American Machinery and Machine Tool Building
    From Depression to Globalization: Reconfiguring 20th Century American Machinery and Machine Tool Building Philip Scranton, Rutgers University Prologue Practical Machinist: 06-14-2003, 11:51 AM Let's talk about Machine Tool Making. 1. The industry is Capital Intensive. A machine tool maker has a huge amount invested in plant and equipment. 2. The industry is Labor Intensive. Almost all the workers are highly skilled and not only that, each worker has to have significant experience working in the specific shop making that company's machines. 3. The Industry is cyclic. Some years there is a big backlog of orders. Some years, there is hardly anything for the skilled and valued workers to do. 4. The "Technical" competition is Brutal. As soon as a new machine design is fit for production, some competitor brings out a newer design with faster spindle speeds or faster motions or some other feature that he touts relentlessly in the trade publications. A Machine tool can be rendered obsolete by the time the first article is being crated up on a maker's loading dock. 5. The reverse of this can happen. A machine tool maker can devise a highly sophisticated design that just doesn't sell. Giddings and Lewis has had this happen to them several times and Davenport Machine had it happen with a servo-controlled, multi-spindle automatic bar machine. 6. During slow times, a machine tool manufacturer can be in competition with slightly used machine of his own manufacture. This is happening right now. None of the above points have anything to do with the government, and the best of the foreign competition suffers all of the above situations.
