LIST AND CERATIZIT PLAN TO IMPROVE HIGH SPEED MACHINING TECHNOLOGY
On Tuesday, 5 December 2017, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and the Luxembourg-based company CERATIZIT signed a three-year collaboration agreement. Within the framework of the NANOPIMS research project, funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), the two partners have committed to a mutual aim: developing new physical vapour deposition (PVD) coatings that perform at high temperatures, exceeding 850 degrees Celsius, for high speed machining technology. They plan to achieve this goal by October 2020, the project's end date.
ADAPTING PRODUCTS TO THE DEMANDS OF THE CUTTING TOOLS MARKET
The machining trades are not only seeking to optimise costs, but also to reduce environmental risks to the maximum by using as little lubricant as possible.
Thus, two major trends are emerging on the cutting tools market: 'green machining' associated with the concept of reducing the amount of lubricant used (Minimum Quantity Lubrication – MQL), or near-dry machining, and an increased demand for PVD coatings that can withstand high temperatures. Consequently, during cutting activities the tools are faced with an increased surface temperature and a reduced life span.
