Maritime & Offshore
In ship maintenance and the offshore sector, downtime costs can be very high. At the same time, heavy alloys, sub-optimal clamping arrangements and large bore diameters place high demands on the tools.
When machining tough alloys such as stainless steel, Duplex and Inconel, a great deal of heat is generated, leading to wear on the cutting edges. Machining heavy ship components in docks or engine rooms can cause vibrations, resulting in tool breakage. When drilling deep holes in solid structures, effective chip removal is essential to prevent jamming and drill bit breakage. And drilling large diameters in solid steel can quickly become time-consuming.
Phantom offers suitable solutions for this, such as carbide-tipped core drills that can withstand high temperatures. For large bore diameters, they also save a great deal of time as only the circumference of the hole is machined.
Our technical specialists can advise you on tool selection and machining conditions for specific alloys and machining operations.
This helps you avoid unnecessary wear and downtime, whilst ensuring you continue to work efficiently under demanding conditions.
