From fixturing and tool selection to cleanliness and measurement for cast-machined parts. Includes speeds/feeds, coolant filtration for graphite sludge, deburr/edge-break rules, and surface-finish verification with traceable instruments.
Machinability Of Gray VS Ductile Iron Who this helps: Manufacturing Engineers / CNC Programmers / Buyers planning cycle time and tooling budgets for gray/grey & ductile (SG) iron housings, hubs, brackets and covers.What you’ll get: practical tool-life data by hardness, safe speed/feed windows (metric + imperial), coolant/filtration strategies, burr control, and ready-to-paste drawing notes. Prepared…
Guided by YBmetal, tooling for cast iron: gray/grey & ductile iron castings with in-house machining, simulation-led gating, and traceable QA. Excerpt: Choosing tooling for cast iron means picking the right inserts, setting realistic speeds/feeds, and using a coolant strategy that balances tool life, finish and dust control. Use the copy-paste tables below for gray vs…
A hands-on playbook for gray/grey and ductile iron castings (fixturing irregular iron castings): 3-2-1 datum building, smart locators & clamps, handling rough-cast variation, and verifying with probing & CMM. Includes checklists, tables and YB Metal examples. Executive summary From GD&T to a buildable datum scheme Choose A/B/C that reflects real contact When cast surfaces are…
