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.
