The special properties of nickel-based alloys often push machine operators and tools to their limits. Manufacturing facilities that use state-of-the-art machining processes can only remain process-secure and efficient by using tools that have been specially designed for this application.
With the MonsterMill NCR, we have developed a milling cutter that takes the unpredictability out of working with nickel-based alloys. The perfect combination of carbide, coating and geometry makes the difficulties associated with machining Inconel and similar materials a thing of the past.
The new Dragonskin coating, which has been adapted for the MonsterMill NCR, was specially developed for use on nickel-based alloys.

The machining of nickel-based alloys (e.g. NiCr19Fe18Nb5Mg) is considerably more demanding than conventional materials.
The high tensile strength of the material, combined with its extreme hardness, causes tools to wear much more quickly. It is therefore essential to choose the right tool.
Only tools designed specifically for this material can minimise wear, maximise tool life and guarantee reliable processes.

** Stainless steels (1.4305)
*** Titanium (Ti6Al4V)
Due to their special properties, nickel-based alloys are used in applications with high thermal and mechanical loads. Its high corrosion resistance makes the metal extremely versatile.
