Research

• 5 axes machining of difficult-to-cut materials.
• • High temperature and strength Nickel alloys
  • Low work piece loads, brittle materials
  • Thick plates and bar cutting
• High accuracy machining:
• • Improvements in rigidity and control of jet
• Improved upon coating removal processes , chemi-milling & EDM:
• • Elimination of chemicals
  • Improved revert of waste
• Presenta an improvement in cutting material properties:
• • Absence HAZ and recast layer

The current use of this facility is for research in:

• High accuracy and speed of cutting of titanium fan blade (12mm diffusion bonded prior to SPF).
• Production and repair of combustors (applied to drilling and coating).
• Removal of coatings and repair of components(in-service component strip and recoat).
• Demonstrating high tolerance features.
