Surface roughness improved to Ra 0.4 on Inconel parts.
Aerospace Component Surface Finish Upgrade
The problem
Heat resistant alloy components were meeting dimensional tolerance but failing surface roughness requirements on curved surfaces.
- Surface roughness above specification on curved faces
- Heat build-up at the cutting edge
- Short tool life in heat resistant alloy
What we changed
A ball nose geometry with a matched coating was selected and step-over was recalculated to keep scallop height inside the requirement.
The result
Surface roughness met the requirement and the operation no longer needed a separate polishing step.
Application data can be shared under agreement.
