Fit
Material Fit – How well does Dura-Bar fit into the manufacturing process that exists for the part and what Dura-Bar advantages are significant to the processing?
Dura-Bar is engineered to be machined fast, with good tool life, on a consistent basis. The more your application is machined, the more you should save.
Dura-Bar often excels when…
- Machining a large part of the raw material away.
- Drilling, tapping and deep grooving is required.
- Deburring is required.
- Run times are over several minutes.
- Heat treating is required.
- Machining after heat treating is required.
- Machine tools have the ability to machine faster than current material allows.
