Domestic High-End Cutters are Rising

Cemented carbide tools account for the largest proportion in aerospace cutting tools. They are the leading cutters in aerospace manufacturing and have a wide range of applications.

The gradual application of new materials, new structures and new technologies to the processing of astronautics has caused more and more difficulty in the processing of aerospace parts, and the requirements of performance and reliability are higher and higher. These also put forward high requirements for hard alloy tools.

Aerospace tools are a comprehensive consideration for the technical ability of enterprises, especially the difficult processing problems of titanium alloy, aluminum magnesium alloy and other difficult processing materials, such as titanium alloy, aluminum magnesium alloy and so on, which are encountered in the processing of high precision products in the field of aeronautics. Therefore, before the products are faced with the market, the tool manufacturers undergo a lot of experiments and trial cuts to ensure that they meet the various needs of users in the process. Unfortunately, the aerospace tool market is mainly occupied by foreign manufacturers, such as Swede in Sweden, Israeli Islamic, American Kenna and so on. In the field of aero engine, more than 90% of the imported tools are used, and there are few domestic tools.

As a consumable, cutting tools can not be localized, and pose a great threat to national security. Aerospace cutting tools rely heavily on imports, which will bring economic and strategic risks. It is gratifying that at present, domestic tool makers cooperate with universities and aviation manufacturing enterprises to develop high performance tools to replace imported tools. The technical level has been greatly improved and has made great progress.

There is a big gap between the comprehensive level of domestic cutting tools and imported cutting tools. The biggest advantage of domestic knives is the low price, but there are obvious deficiencies in performance, stability and service. The tool structure design is lagging behind abroad, and there is a gap in the digital simulation capability. Foreign tools often have new structural breakthroughs; product satisfaction rate is less than foreign manufacturers.

The localization of aerospace tools is a systematic project. Although there are some improvements in technology, we still need to learn from abroad. We should go hand in hand in terms of product satisfaction, quality control, brand recognition, standardization and so on. Therefore, the research must be carried out at the core of the process. Continuous improvement in cutting tool quality control, tool material selection and tool grinding process parameter control.

In the field of cutting tools, industrial upgrading and adjustment are needed, especially in the field of high-end cutters. At present, hard alloy tools have become the mainstream. If the cutting tool enterprises still do not think enterprising, they still adhere to the low quality tools, do not seize the new opportunities under the new normal conditions, and develop new tools, which will face the elimination of the market. The healthy development of the cutting tool market will promote healthy and healthy development in the fields of materials preparation, coating and environmental protection. In short, under the new economy and new advanced manufacturing environment, the cutting tool market has great potential.
