No special cutter for our aerospace in market

       

With the continuous upgrading of aerospace products, especially the use of various difficult-to-process materials, its process technology also improves gradually. So what’s the current situation of cutting tools application in aerospace field？ And how’s the development state of aerospace tool industries?

According to expert introduction, for aerospace industry, its cutting tool application level is much higher than automotive filed, the main difference between each other is that automotive filed usually mass use cutting tools, while aerospace industry is small-lot production, using a lot of special cutters.

Nowadays, domestic aerospace cutting tool market is similar with other industries’, if some difficult problems occur and the existing cutting tool on the market can’t solve them, especially processing of Ti alloy, Al and Mg alloy and other difficult-to-process materials and composite materials in aerospace field high-tech products processing, cutting tool application industries should solve those problems through self-development. These special cutting tool can get in market, so for specialized factories must meet the demands of industrial application requirements firstly before putting products into market. For some special requirements’ cutting tool which can’t get in domestic market, association should contact with external specialized cutting tool industry, meeting the demands of industries.

Looking into the market carefully, it’s easy to find that there are still some problems, domestic specialized factories mostly provide special cutting tools, the general cutting tools are incomplete, so enterprises’ application mainly depend on import, besides, the cutting tools of some imported high-end CNC machining center also depend on import basically, mainly are Sandvik Coromant, kenna, seco, OSG and other international famous brands. Marketing channel for those enterprises is very wide, each domestic big city has their offices, it’s very convenient to buy cutting tools, and with good after-sales service and product quality assurance, then its competitive advantage is more superior to domestic enterprises. Under the competitive environment, China aerospace tool industries should even more begin to innovate themselves, to achieve localization of enterprise cutting tools.
