Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; President: Osamu Inoue; hereinafter referred to as the 'Company') has developed the 'Chamfering End Mill AVIC Type' for aircraft components, and will start sales gradually from October 2024.
In the processing of difficult-to-cut materials (titanium alloys, nickel-based heat-resistant alloys) mainly used as work materials in aircraft components, the management standards for burrs and machining surface quality after processing, which affect product life, have been tightened, increasing the demand for higher performance and efficiency tools.
In response to these needs, the Company has developed the 'Chamfering End Mill AVIC Type' optimized for difficult-to-cut material processing applications and will begin sales.
