Goal

An aerospace parts manufacturer needed to improve machining efficiency and reduce total cost in a roughing operation on a titanium component.

Strategy

The previous setup was limited by tool life and material removal rate. Kyocera engineers recommended the MFH-Mini Milling system, a high-feed face mill designed for aggressive titanium roughing with the PR1835 grade to maximize productivity and extend tool performance in the demanding alloy.

Result

The implementation of the MFH-Mini Milling system delivered a 200% increase in tool life, a 60% increase in material removal rate, and a 20% reduction in machining cycle time. The customer saved more than $56,000 annually.
