High performance, high feed milling strategies were used for roughing followed by high speed machining strategies to achieve the desired finish. ![]() Previously manufactured in 316 stainless steel the AFRC used a nickel based alloy, Cronite HR4, for the new dies. ![]() ![]() The project also allowed the team to develop their post-processor and on machine verification software. As part of the centre’s core research programme the team has developed a method of manufacture for super plastic forming (SPF) dies to be used with the centre’s 200 tonne SPF press.Īs a result of this project the centre can now develop manufacturing processes for large tools and dies which will improve the outputs of its research projects particularly around the area of hot forming. ![]() The machining team at the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) has completed its first project using the DMG Mori 5 axis mill turn machine – DMU125 FD DuoBLOCK.
