Cooling has a major influence on machining exotic
materials such as Inconel, titanium, Hastelloy, Monel
and other alloys, which are all used in the aerospace
industry. These workpiece materials are difficult to
machine as they have a very high nickel level and
possess a tendency to stick to cutter edges due to their
elastic, sticky and ductile properties - which is one of
the reasons that parts for the aerospace industry are
extremely expensive. Machining these types of materials
without coolant is almost impossible, as the high
temperatures and stickiness cause instantaneous
wear and premature failure for carbide inserts.
