The total productivity potential for a machining process is all about the interaction between material, cutting tools and machine.
Hence, Sandvik is quite concern on delivering their uniqueness through their innovative products. Sanmac® is the ultimate product that offers great productivity within value-added advantage.
There are different ways to measure productivity and determine cost savings, depending on whether you are close to the machining process, or responsible for purchasing the material.
Sandvik has therefore chosen to show six different perspectives, which all highlight the benefits of using Sanmac® materials.
Economy
The aim for any component manufacturer is to maximize the value added time, which will earn profit for operations performed. However, every machine tool should have planned maintenance for set up times and periodic maintenance.
Productivity
Five aspects define the productivity in your machines:
Material Consistency
Setup Times
Why is short setup time so important?
Chip breaking
Machining stainless and duplex stainless steels is a challenge due to the high strength of the material, and chip-breaking is closely related to the microstructure. In our hot working process, we ensure that the material has an even and optimized microstructure throughout the entire length of the bar.
Chemical Composition
UNS and EN standards for chemical composition allow a wide tolerance, but at Sandvik they never aim for the lower end of these tolerances like many of their competitors.
Instead, they design their chemical compositions for the sweet spot in the triangle of desirable properties:
machinability, corrosion resistance and weldability. Once that target composition has been achieved, Sandvik lands exactly in that spot every time they melt, within very tight tolerances.
