ARCI unveils new tech to machine super-alloys
Hyderabad-based ARCI – International advanced research centre for powder metallurgy and new materials, has announced unveiling of a new technology in the machinability of superalloys, opening new avenues for high-strength and high-precision components. Researchers here at the autonomous institute of the Department of Science & Technology (DST) have come out with a hybrid technique called Laser-Assisted Turning (LAT) which combines localised laser heating with mechanical cutting of superalloys using tools coated with materials like tungsten carbide and CrAlSiN nanocomposite. Through LAT, it is possible to transform cutting hardest materials known to engineering like nickel-based superalloy like Inconel 625 (IN625) used in aerospace, chemical, nuclear and power production systems, such as boilers, heat exchanger tubes, and steam turbines to make next-generation turbine blades, surgical tools, and high-performance automotive parts that are lighter, stronger, and more efficient, said an official release on Thursday. Machining superalloys — ultra-tough metals used in jet engines, nuclear reactors, and space vehicles — have always posed a challenge as their strength and heat resistance make them difficult to shape with traditional cutting tools suffering rapid wear and producing inconsistent results. ARCI researchers claim to have cracked the code. Under the Clean Coal Research Initiative of DST, they have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of LAT. This breakthrough offers a scalable, high-precision solution for industries requiring machining of difficult-to-machine materials, particularly in aerospace, power generation, and marine sectors. LAT is a hybrid technique where a high-power diode laser (up to 2,500 W) heats the workpiece just ahead of the cutting tool, inducing thermal softening in the material. This significantly reduces cutting resistance, improves chip formation, and enhances tool life and machining quality, they said. Researchers had evaluated the LAT made tools using both uncoated tungsten carbide tools and CrAlSiN nanocomposite-coated tools to show that the latter had demonstrated excellent resistance to abrasion and oxidation while maintaining cutting-edge sharpness and dimensional accuracy under high temperatures, added the release.
