machining (HSM) of mainly slots, with the use
of the trochoidal technique. Trochoidal milling
features a small width and significant depth of
cut, combined with a tool path dictated by a
trochoid curve. Under such conditions the tool
“slices” metal up at a high rate. The engagement
angle here is small and produced chips are very
thin. This results in dramatically decreasing the
thermal load on the tool. Ti-TURBO endmills,
of unique patent design, have 7 or 9 variable
flutes with variable angular pitch (similar to
CHATTERFREE solid carbide tools) that ensures
powerful resistance to vibration. That is why the
new family is considered a true turbo booster in
the area of titanium milling.

ISCAR’s MULTI-MASTER versatile line of
assembled tools with replaceable solid carbide
cutting heads, has been recently enhanced by
the introduction of new, six-flute, fast feed milling
heads with central coolant holes.
The ultra-fine grain carbide substrate of the
heads protected by the advanced AL-TEC
coating technology, provides outstanding wear
resistance and toughness. The heads are used
in productive high feed milling (HFM), resulting
in significant reductions in the cycle times of
roughing operations.

Manufacturers of titanium parts are constantly
placing new demands on cutting tool producers.
In order to meet these challenges, cutting tool
producers are forced to think out of the box on
a regular basis. ISCAR’s R&D team continues
to cooperate with many of the world’s leading
manufacturers of titanium parts to ensure that
the company retains its lead within this
challenging sector.
