Iscar tech talk - iscar helialu super positive polished rake inserts

ISCAR expands the HELIALU line with super positive polished rake inserts. HELIALU inserts have a new sub-micron grade which assures higher productivity for machining aluminum and non-ferrous materials under the ISO N group of applications. Metal cutting technology has progressed tremendously over the past few years. It is evident that insert wear is a critical problem in metal cutting. It not only increases the production costs but also degrades the product quality. The HELIALU line is comprised of a large range of endmills and face mills which are especially designed for machining aluminum, mainly parts for the aviation industry. Insert features • Sharp, ground cutting edge for low cutting forces and a clean cut. • Polished rake face for excellent chip flow. • Positive cutting angles. • Clamping area of the insert is ground to provide full contact with the pocket for high precision. • Suitable for effective machining of various aluminum grades such as 2024 and 7075 among other types. • HELIALU inserts can withstand high cutting and centrifugal loads. • The inserts are designed for both roughing and finishing applications. ISCAR's new HELIALU inserts show precise, safe and stable machining results capable of performing highly complicated operations with increased feed rates. ISCAR’s customers can choose tougher and harder grades to achieve increased productivity. Machining aluminum with ISCAR's hard-wear resistant sub-micron carbide grade IC08, maintains the insert’s cutting-edge sharpness for longer periods of time. This contributes greatly to stable machining and longer tool life, which enables milling aluminum and aluminum-lithium alloys at very high feed rates.
