Heavy Duty Machining is defined by one of four unique processes.

They are:

Bar Peeling – an extremely efficient method for sizing and finishing
surfaces on round material stock.

General Purpose – tooling for any of a group of applications utilizing
heavy depths of cut or cuts that require greater than average
horsepower draw.

Railway – tooling built specifically for machining railway wheels and
axles. In terms of wheel processing they are usually defined by group,
such as “New” wheel tooling for machining newly cast or forged wheels;
or “RWRT” (railway wheel re-turning) tooling for machining used
wheels, and Form Milling tools for milling the form of used railway
wheels.

Roll Turning – turning the hard surfaces of sheet metal or paper mill
rolls. Where surface hardness can reach 65HRc, these turning
operations are often good candidates for ceramic cutting tools.

The new ATI Stellram Heavy Duty Machining catalog will aid in the selection of geometries and grades for cost effective machining in any of these four groups. Because each application has its own challenges, ATI Stellram welcomes special quotations.
