Welcome to navigating the artistry of aluminum machining. My name is Rick Crabtree and here at San Vic Coromant safety is precedent. We believe in safety first so know where your emergency exits are, know your emergency phone calls that you need to make and have a place to meet as a group. Please know all those while we do this live event. My name is Rick Crabtree as I said. I've been with San Vic Coromant for 39 years or in manufacturing for 39 years. 25 years of that has been with San Vic Coromant. In the past I've been in advanced materials for a few years and for the past 11 years I've been working with the automotive aluminum and aluminum itself. If we look at properties of aluminum, it's lightweight. It's three times lighter than iron. It has the strong durability. If we look at the strength ratio of iron to aluminum, it is a better weight ratio. It's ductile so that means we can machine it fairly easy and we can form it fairly easy. So die casting and those kind of applications. It's corrosive resistance because on the exterior it has an aluminum oxide and it's 75 percent recyclable. Being 75 percent recyclable means that as we produce aluminum it is being continually changed. So it may be a car part for one, one time and then it could be a general engineering pump the next time in its life. And it has good thermal conductivity. Some challenges that we have in aluminum is burr formation. Because of the melting point is somewhat low and the thermal conductivity is high, it will create a burr. There's also smearing of the edges. This will create some porosity when we're machining potentially. And tolerances and surfaces are really accurate. It also can be abrasive when it has medium to high silicon content. Here at Sandvik Coromon we have a complete machining offer for aluminum. As we look through these pictures we have round tools, boring bars, drills, our milling focuses, and drilling and tapping. Some unique parts outside of automotive are some of these are in the aerospace arena. And then we also offer solutions for compressors and cooling units for HVAC and things like that. And we also offer pumps solutions. If we look at the total solution or the total industry, what we've did from the last 20 years, we are looking at the benchmark of this cutter. It is a cutter that all competition has, all competitors have, we have, and it is, it is, it is, in our instance, it's called an M5R90, but it's a cartridge-based PCD cutter. If we look at it, we can be very accurate with it. We can, we can run to 5 microns on, on axial run out, and radio run out, we can, we can achieve 50 microns. It is a really good cutter. We can resurface these, recondition these cartridges, but we need to always focus on making sure that they are balanced. If they are balanced, then we are less likely to hurt our machine spindle. And in our instance, our balancing screws are in the, in the side and, and we can adjust those to create an even balance. And when we recondition or re-tip the cartridge, we, we should rebalance the, the cutter. One of the drawbacks is in milling with cartridge-based cutters that are all the same height, are burrs. If we look at the feed rate and we see the depth of cut, as the, as the PCD wears, a burr formation happens. It will be the thickness of the, the feed rate and it will be the height of the depth of cut. We have came up with a solution to combat some of these burrying issues. We call it the M5B90 and it is a fixed pocketed milling cutter that has a rotary broach concept. So if number 10 is our wiper in this instance, it is, everything cuts 70 microns around. So, so we effectively have one insert, uh, making a, our, our, our, our machining cut. If we also look at the, the projection or the, the flatness, they all are stepped down. So our wiper only cuts 30 microns of stock at the end. Every other insert is there for roughing or to, to make the, uh, wiper last very long. Typically we run this as a rotary broach, but we make sure that the one effective insert will achieve the same feed rates as if we were running a, a normal cutter. So if, if we need, you know, to run a feed rate of two millimeters per rev, we are capable of running two millimeters per rev with the last wiper. And it's due to the light effective cuts. If we look at the broach, the rotary broach, the effect, it's burr free. The, the cutter, in this instance, does not have anything but radially 30 microns and axially 70 microns. So that's the largest burr we would get at the end of the use of, of the tool. If we need to have a larger depth of cut over one millimeter, we add periphery inserts to the concept. We call it an M5C90. And in this concept, we can rough and finish at the same time, getting that same burr free effect. We also added an, a additional, uh, cutter for light, flimsy parts for vibrations. And it is with a burring concept, the same as the M5B90. And we call it the M5F90. And it is a brazed in effect, but it has the same rotary broach effect on the, on the cutter. We're going to do a little live demo. Um, I have a 50 millimeter cutter, a 3000 meter, uh, surface footage, which makes this 19,000 RPM. And I'm going to feed at one millimeter per rev, with a two millimeter depth of cut, and a full engagement. In my demo, you can see this is quite fast. With, without burr formation. If we look at the same concept now, if we go to cubing, and look at the same concept, I can add the rotary broach to the bottom and have burr-free solution for, for the same concept of no burr on cubing. We also add for gasket surfaces, a new development. It's called the M5B90FR. It's for liquid gaskets. And we are capable of making burr-free framed roughness. And we're capable of making sure that it's a, it's a, it's an even crosshatch to, for gasket surfaces to stick. It is really great for the transmission industry, the engine engine industry, electric vehicles, and pumps and housings. On the screen, the RA of 0.8 to 3.2 with a R max of 25 is a ISO standard that we typically like to, to run to. If we look at opportunities to run in, by metal, like, uh, cylinder bores with aluminum, we offer a M610 cutter. The M610 cutter is unique. It has a unique angle to machine. And, uh, it is done with, uh, uh, only gray cast iron and it's done dry. When we look at it, the productivity gains over PCD is very, very good. We can run up to 3000 meters or more with, uh, cubic boron nitrite or CBN, where in the past with our, our standard, uh, PCD finishing tools, we have a, uh, a only 5000, or 500 meter, uh, speed limit. So we're, we're quite a bit faster. The other advantage is tool life. We can achieve over 4000 pieces, where before 5000 was a nice, uh, tool life for or things like this. If we look at the range of PCD opportunities, we can cut from 7 millimeter to 1 millimeter. We have a full portfolio to machine aluminum. We also have dedicated solutions for boring, like cylinder bores, where it's a high speed. We have a rough milling or rough boring, uh, solution called B681. And we also have a, a combination boring of a one shot, which we add our silent tool solutions to the vibration. And we, we call it B685. We also can finish with B686 and B687. One has a, a manual type of adjustment that we can use on a fixture. And the other has a patented coolant adjustment that we can, we can run by, by coolant to, to in, to shrink in the tools so we don't get tool marks. We also have all the, the latest reamers, including the EV trends of stator bore housings, and all, also all the old ICE vehicles that we've did in the past. When we look at drilling, our 860 NM is an optimized drill to do high feed penetration rates in aluminum. It has a low helix angle to, to help stability and chip control. We also offer for really long applications or deep hold applications, our 865, which can go to 30 times the diameter of the tool in depth. Looking also as we look at G-drills, our 400 is a solid carbide version and our 400 core drill PCD version. These are an industry standard and we have a full range and a full selection. We also have a general purpose 430 that has a three flute design to help with hole accuracy. And then we have just added recently our micro-drills so we can do smaller things up to like a needle that you would thread a shirt. Time for another demo. This is going to be a 9.4 millimeter drill and it's going to be the Cora Drill 860 general purpose. We're going to run it 200 meters and a penetration rate of .28 and it's a 20 millimeter depth of cut. I apologize that the coolant will come on. But it is real world practices. We drilled 10 holes here. Just so we can go through and later in the presentation we will add the tapping to it. If you look, we have Cora taps. We have four versions. A Cora tap 100, a 200, a 300 and a 400. Optimized for aluminum. If we look at medium to high silicon. We can use Cora turn 100s and 400s in carbide grades. If we're looking at lower silicon. We can use Cora turn 100, 200, 300 and 400 in a carbide grade. So let's go to that tapping demo. We're going to tap 10 millimeter holes. All 10 of them at 55 meters per minute. And our penetration rate is the 1.5 feed rate for 20 millimeter. As you can see, the penetration rate for this is with the carbide tap and it is quite fast. At diifice. Atmst.

We have them for automotive frame bodies. We can complete a solution. We can make customized tools for your needs or we can use standard products that we have in our portfolio. The e-motor housing can have gasket services on it, can have the light, flimsy areas that we can use the M5 F90 on. And we can use the industry standard in certain instances. Machines also have holes in them. So we have either optimized 860 NMs to core drill 400s, which the industry calls G-drills. And then as you can see on the screen, the unique boring solutions. We also have experience in battery racks. Again with the F cutter for vibration, the drilling can be optimized or G-drills. Tapping can normally can be the thread forming type, the core tap 400s. But we also offer the 100, 200 and 300 that we have put in. And we also offer a full line of reamers. Suspension products. We have a vast knowledge in suspension products where we've made customized tools. Like in the instance here where we add a reamer to the end so we save a tool pocket and eliminate the tool change. We have a full line for the ICE vehicles. Cylinder heads. The interesting thing, if we use the M5B90, C90 or F90, we tend not to need to brush them. So that's eliminating another operation in your manufacturing processes. Since we don't have the burr issue, we don't see the need for the brushing. If we look at our services, we have a team dedicated just for general engineering. We have another team just for automotive. And we have another team just for aerospace. When we look at all the industries, there's unique solutions to each. So our designers need to be giving you the demand that you want. We make our manufacturing local to almost every arena. They're in the Americas. They're in Europe. They're in Asia. So we can make a full manufacturing area of where we need to create so we can give you the parts, the manufactured tools on time. Logistics, that's why we keep these throughout all the continents so we can have these head to you as quick as possible. And like today, we give free education to help improve the industry. And then our sustainability, we are really looking and focusing on sustainability so we will be here in the future and our manufacturing will be in our future. Two questions. We'll open it up to the audience. Okay, so we have a question. So the question is they want to know about the bi-metal cutting data. All right, compared to if we look at the industry standard where we would use PCD to machine the the gray cast iron and the aluminum, which would be, with PCD, would be a speed of around 500 meters. If we look at this compared to by using CBN at a unique angle and a higher speed, we're at 3000 meters. So we're three to five times faster in most instances to machine the bi-metal. With the demand of turbochargers becoming, the waviness becoming tighter, this is a perfect solution for that. So the one factor we need to remember is it's no coolant, no residual coolant, no drops, nothing. So if you have drops of coolant, maybe we have to make a fast pass to kind of create a venturi effect to pull the coolant off the surface. And then we run the machine surface. Okay. Okay. What was the model cutter for the FI-EG surfaces? Oh, that is for, you're talking the gasket surfaces. So that is a M5B90FR. And the FR in our organization is called frame roughness. So we're looking at a certain area and that's why we called it frame roughness. But you're correct. It's for gasket surfaces. Some people call it scratching areas. But those are the terms, the industry terms. Okay. Any more questions? So, I think that's it. For more information, we dropped in the chat a few of these brochures. We also can go to sandvic.coromont.com and look up aluminum and be able to search aluminum and be able to find these also. So, I thank you for the time listening to me. And I hope you got something out of it.
