Kennametal University
Kennametal University is dedicated to providing expert instruction in
Metal Cutting Application Engineering. Courses are offered at the basic
and advanced levels, and include Classroom, Lab, and Machine
Demonstration. Course content is designed to provide the metalworking
professional with necessary skills to gain optimum performance in
Metalcutting operations. Courses are conducted at Kennametal’s Quentin
C. McKenna Technology Center and are taught by recognized professionals
in engineering, metallurgy and marketing.
The Comprehensive Application Engineering Course
is designed to provide a broad base of knowledge for the selection and use of
Metalcutting tools. This course is divided into four sections with each being
covered by lecture, lab and machine demonstrations.
- Mechanics of Metalcutting will cover tooling from a design
perspective. This section starts with a discussion on How Tools Cut and
progress through the design elements related to turning, milling and
drilling. All aspects of cutting geometry will be discussed along with its
relationship to the cutting edge, workpiece material and power.
- Materials Technology will start with a discussion of common cutting
tool materials and how they relate to each other. A discussion of powder
metal technology will start with How Carbide is made and progress through
modern carbide and ceramic grade technology. Coating technology will include
common application methods as well as the latest advances in coating
materials.
- Selection and Application will introduce the tool path method of
selecting and applying tooling. This section will be divided into the three
main operations of turning, milling and hole making. Selection and
application will include processing exercises to provide hands on
experience.
- Machining Economics will cover elements that effect productivity
and overall cost, such as establishing operating conditions to gain maximum
efficiency; the cause and effect relationship between operating conditions
and tool failure; machinability, testing methods and cost justification.
Who Should Attend
This four and a half-day seminar is intended to provide state-of-the-art
information to mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, industrial
engineers, tool engineers, process engineers, shop supervisors and technical
specialists in machining.
