Turning bronze

Are you interested in turning bronze from the supplier AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.

General requirements

The order and sequence of execution of turning operations with bronze blanks depend on how they were received. For rolled or stamped profiles, one recommendation applies, for cast — others, for sintered — the third.

On the surface of sintered and cast billets, there are pores, where technological lubricants and cutting fluids enter. The excess of such compositions on the surface increases the load on the turning tool, and its durability decreases, while the quality of the treated surface decreases. When the surface capillaries are open, the excess oil freely merges, and the rotation is carried out in the correct mode.

The same rule applies to turning the bronze bearing housings.

Vacuum impregnation of sintered blanks with oil is performed when pressing the starting powder, so up to 20% of the pores in the workpiece usually remain open. Standard sintered bronze is impregnated with turbine oils. There are several alternative lubrication systems: wax lubricants, graphite or molybdenum disulphide.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase a variety of bronze alloys of domestic and foreign brands in the assortment. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.

Basic rules for the application of lubricating and cooling media for turning bronze

It is recommended to use oils with low viscosity at room temperatures;

Do not exceed the maximum values set by the alloy manufacturer and the speeds of rotation of blanks;

For high-speed cutting, use oils with increased viscosity;

Use lubricating-cooling working media, the viscosity of which varies little with the temperature of the workpiece being processed;

Refrain from using lubricating and cooling liquids with an increased acid number.

General recommendations for turning bronze

It is advisable to use carbide cutters with sufficiently wide cutting edges that cover the entire transverse feed range in one revolution. Tools made of tungsten-carbide. The standard is a small feed for a turn at a small depth of cut and a normal feed for finishing operations.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers various types of rolled and cast bronze of domestic and foreign production. Products are offered at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.
