HIGH TEMPERATURE MACHINING METHODS

Abstract

Hot machining can reduce the cost of manufacturing parts from heat treated 4340 and Ph 15-7 Mo steels up to 36% when compared to conventional machining. The cost of machining a heat treated 4340 main landing gear truck pivot was reduced from $24.85 to $18.69 and the cost of milling a Ph 15-7 Mo extrusion was reduced from $2.00 per foot to $1.27 per foot when elevated temperature machining was applied. Rene' 41 does not respond to hot machining when workpieces greater than 2'' wide are face milled. (Author)
