To put this into perspective, a medium sized passenger car contains around 160kg of aluminium components – significantly lighter than any other materials previously used. Well designed and light components will be key for hybrids and pure electric cars moving forward. Some examples of different e-mobility components are different types of housings and battery pack frames.
One important thing to remember is that much of the knowledge and solutions developed for machining the traditional automotive components can be transfered and applied in the e-mobility components, mainly in the milling, drilling and tapping areas. Below are tools that offer premium performance in machining auto aluminium components.
The straight flute CoroDrill® 400 is optimized to provide highly productive hole-making in aluminium and cast iron components for the automotive industry
The spiral flute CoroDrill® 430 is optimized to provide extreme efficiency, reliability and durability during hole-making in aluminium and cast iron components for the automotive industry
CoroDrill® 880 with its unique insert geometries and configuration creates a balanced, step-by-step entrance into the workpiece. This reduces cutting forces to less than half of typical insert drills, and virtually eliminates deflection on entry
CoroMill® Century is a face mill tool system with aluminium or steel body for high speed machining. The tool is designed with serrated insert interface for safe performance and reduced run-out
Finishing face milling concept developed for automotive aluminium components such as cylinder heads, blocks, housings, covers and all components with a wide material engagement
M5C90 is a concept face milling tool for high speed direct finishing of aluminium automotive parts such as cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, and all aluminium parts within wide cutter engagement
M5F90 is a concept face-milling cutter that enables roughing and finishing of thin wall automotive aluminium components in a single operation
M5Q90 cleans the surfaces of newly casted aluminium cylinder heads and engine blocks in one smooth operation, without burring
M5R90 is the first choice for roughing to semi-finishing in shoulder milling operations of automotive aluminium components such as cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, transmission housings
