Behind every machining challenge is a science story—and tungsten is no exception. Known for its extreme density and brittleness, tungsten has always tested the limits

Tungsten has long been known as one of the hardest refractory metals to machine. Its high density, brittleness, and extreme melting point put extraordinary stress

In aerospace and defense machining, surface finish isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about performance, reliability, and certification. For superalloys like Nickel 718 (also known by its tradename Inconel® 718), achieving the right surface finish can mean the difference between a component that passes inspection and one that gets scrapped.

In aerospace machining, every detail matters. Components made from alloys like Inconel® 718, titanium, tantalum, niobium, molybdenum and tungsten must meet strict performance standards under

Few materials test the limits of machinists and their equipment like Inconel® 718. This nickel-based superalloy, a staple in aerospace applications, offers excellent strength and

When machining titanium alloys like Ti-6Al-4V (sometimes called TC4, Ti64, or ASTM Grade 5), machinists face a set of stubborn challenges: high friction, galling, and

Titanium alloys like Ti-6Al-4V (sometimes called TC4, Ti64, or ASTM Grade 5) are widely used in aerospace for their strength, light weight, and resistance to

In machining, real-world results matter more than claims. Halocarbon ran a third-party study at Kratos SRE, to quantify the benefits of Halocarbon MWF 32, a high-performance machining fluid.
