In the field of machining, we can encounter the processing of various metal materials, plastic materials, special materials and other spare parts. Generally, the materials with low density are easy to cut, and the requirements for tool selection are not high, nor does it hurt the machine tool (such as aluminum). There are also some materials that hurt the machine tool in the processing process, such as common cast iron materials. Let’s see why cast iron materials hurt the machine tool
Cast iron materials are believed to be familiar, because most machining equipment is made of cast iron. Cast iron materials have good wear resistance and high material density. Cast iron is made by die casting. It is strong. It has certain requirements for the knife in the processing process, and it is quite damaged to the machine tool. Cast iron is cast by die casting, and the cut materials are all gray powder, which will damage the machine tool accessories, bearings and screw rods, and damage the accuracy of the machine tool. If it is not a professional manufacturer engaged in cast iron processing, many mechanical parts processing manufacturers are unwilling to contact cast iron processing. If they process, they also need to use machine tools with poor accuracy, for fear of damaging the accuracy of the machine tools.
Does the cast iron material damage the machine tool in the machining industry? There is indeed damage to the machine tool. When we encounter the processing of cast iron materials, we can use machine tools with poor accuracy. In this way, it can be used reasonably without damaging the accuracy of the machine tool with good accuracy.
