Case Study
Cryogenic Machining Of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI)
Objective & Results The increasing use of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) for state-of-the-art, high-powered engines has created challenges for cylinder block and cylinder head manufacturing. The high-strength CGI material wears out tools a minimum of 30% faster and has eliminated higher speed machining that was possible in Gray Iron. By applying through-the-spindle and through-the-tool Cryogenic Machining Technology, the cutting edge is cooled
