[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

I used to manual machine monel when I was 18 as an apprentice. We made high end metrology equipment and there were all sorts of exotic materials used with a lot of Inconel due to its low coefficient of expansion, it helps control the stability of your measurements.

[@iDennis95]

I once turned K500 on a Mazak. That stuff feels like tough chewing gum. When you rub your finger over the surfa e after turning, if feels smooth in the direction you turned, but grabs the skin if you go the other way. But it was a nice learning and experience

[@CNCMatrix]

Same here. It wasn't K500 but it was monel, also done on a Mazak. From what I remember it wasn't fun to cut but it wasn't THAT bad. Worst materials I've ever cut were Chromel and Alumel with the latter being the absolute worst, worse than Hastelloy X actually.

[@justinchamberlin4195]

The toughest part of machining Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel isn't just that the metals start off gummy, it's that they exhibit severe work hardening, particularly during machining - the tool bites into gummy, sticky material which then gets super hard before finally breaking off. 300-series stainless steel does this as well but it's not as gummy to start with and doesn't harden up as much as the nickel-based alloys. Case in point: a foundry I used to work at poured some Hastelloy C-22 castings that required mechanical property testing. We thought it would be okay to machine those test bars in-house just like we would with any carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, putting them through our Puma just like we would any of those materials. The properties we got didn't quite make sense until we sent test material to an area contract laboratory. Their results were perfectly in line with expectations...because as I later found out, our machining process cranked the hardness up from the 180ish range on the Brinell scale to well over 400, whereas the outside lab using the right speeds/feeds/inserts/coolant kept the hardness down where it ought to be.

[@narmale]

which is worse? nickel based or copper based alloys?

[@justinchamberlin4195]

@@narmale If we take each element's alloys as a whole? Nickel. Not all copper-based alloys are challenging to machine, and indeed brass (copper mixed with zinc) is the gold standard for machinability. Many copper alloys can be tough, but brasses and bronzes can be very forgiving. On the flip side, I can't think of a nickel alloy that is anywhere near that easy to machine...Inconel (Ni-Cr-Fe) is tough to machine, Hastelloy (Ni-Mo-Cr) is tough to machine, Monel (Ni-Cu) is tough to machine, Incoloy (Ni-Fe-Cr) is tough to machine, the wackier superalloys like René/Waspaloy/Nimonic are tough to machine...there's a theme, and that theme is that nickel-based alloys are challenging for most machinists.

[@jmowreader9555]

I want to see Titan take a field trip to the Army's Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet, NY, where all the cannon barrels used by the US and all nations allied with the US are made. That shop makes 35-foot-long barrels for the M109A6 howitzer, and a cannon barrel MUST be laser-straight if you expect to hit anything with the weapon.

That would be cool!

IDEA FOR A VIDEO: How about a machining competition between 5 of your top machinist? identical part, same machine, you could give points for, type of setup, speed, finish, tolerance, etc, only 1 stipulation, the part has to be for an actual customer, what do you say? are you up for this challenge?

[@nbowling10trio]

Inconel and cobalt chrome are some of the hardest materials I've machined. Tool steel like A2&D2,cpm3v and cpm9v when i was in a die shop. Before and after heat treat. Sometimes the die didn't stamp out correct and i had to remove thirty thou here or there. Proper speeds and feeds are most critical on the hard materials. Tool selection,proper coatings important too. We use mostly SGS carbide. Harvey and micro tool carbides are good. The cheap hogmills off Amazon work pretty good too. For the price they're amazing. Accusize is the name I think. They will surprise you.

[@StevenStyczinski-sy8cj]

I like it when you push the tools beyond what others say is the norm. The two things I learned a long time ago where “if you are not cutting you are dulling”! And “you want to put the vast majority of the heat generated into the chip not the tool or the coolant “! The tool that lasts the longest is the tool that is not used. A tool can only rub for so many miles or feet before it is worn out. A tool that is not used is a decoration; or just jewelry, hiding in a box.

Im 36 years old and a manual machinist on ward 3db and 7D lathes. We make specialty stuff for oil, petrochemical, gas, hydro power and turbines. It doesn't faze me that much of a material, once you've dialed in the speeds and hand pressure, I won't run it on auto feed on my machine the speeds are too much. I use carbide and carbide tip drills along with boring tools with high end strength tips and go with a steady hand pressure and absolutely drown the sucker in coolant, running 800rpm trying not to soak myself with off spray 😂 Good to see some hardcore material being ran, what you guys got planned next I wonder..

Quick question to the crew. You've ever run a piece of toolox 44 or higher, or something similar? Now thats hard material... i would know, ive had the 'pleasure' to run it thru one of our machines... when i first started working at my current shop...

[@kgranno]

I haven’t seen that one before. What industry is it mainly used in?

[@kayzejones]

@@kgranno Mostly extrustion molds and machinecomponents that need high wear-resistance. its 45 HRC, but my shop-boss tells me we have a test piece of what SSAB, who made the stuff, what they called Toolox 55 or 57 and i dont know the HRC value on that, as i can't recall as of this moment. Its as he called it, days of work scraping flakes off with ceramics even, and it was for a HYDRO extrutions machine, the aluminum producer. Edit: i asked and he said 57HRC thru the whole bar, thats what the SSAB rep had said.

ja frezowałem Hardox extreame, robiłem otwory fi 83 w hardoxie extreme. teraz juz pracowałem ze wszystkimi materiałami nawet ze szkłem

[@platin2148]

Hmm are there shrink fits available for that size of toolholder? Is that sk30?

[@G2kt]

Do You have videos about Cryogenic machining?? This idea looks curiously

[@matthewmeuleman9872]

when you sell the machine do you sell the coolent with it

[@TITANSofCNC]

Working on it

[@toddwilburn4297]

Titan have you ever cut haynes 188

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yes, also tough stuff. Used to cut lathe parts out of it for SpaceX

[@toddwilburn4297]

I'm milling some on a mazak variaxis i700. It is some parts for Rocketjet Aerodyne. Does diamond coated end mills work good on it?

[@lukask1994]

Can you process pure tungsten for once?

[@scotttomlinson1057]

Taking it back to USA one machine at a time! Thanks Titan.

[@danariusrobinson5215]

Hard iron hard metals and the skilled Machinist. That machinist is rare to find.

[@davewebster5120]

I cringe when I watch the videos where they aren't cooling the cutting tools. I know it's better for youtube but I dread seeing what it does to the tool. I realize this is a big commercial for these machines and tools but it's cool to see titan actually doing hard machining.
