Advanced Milling Techniques | Enhancing Efficiency and Quality
A major metals supplier based in Sheffield for support on Advanced Milling
Case study for Advanced Milling Techniques
Problems:
- Parts needed to be milled from tough materials Inconel 718 / 625 to tight tolerances.
- Turnaround times were short, with high expectations on finish and accuracy.
What We Did:
- Used CNC milling with suitable tooling and cooling strategies to handle material hardness.
- Implemented precision measurement checks during and after milling.
- Coordinated with the client to ensure milling methods avoided distortion during any heat or downstream treatments.
Results:
- Reliable delivery of parts within required tolerances and quality standards.
- Reduced milling time and tooling wear.
- Stronger client confidence in consistency and supply timelines.
