TiCN (Titanium Carbo-nitride) is a ceramic coating applied to endmills to enhance their performance. It's a common choice for machining applications that involve abrasive materials and moderate cutting temperatures.

Quality water cooling in a permanent mold can be tricky! Even though your simulation can show you that you can make a quality casting, actually making the mold so that it replicates your computer simulation is where the rubber meets the road. In the case shown here, the customer needed an internal cooling channel that ran for 270 deg of a circular H13 insert. Cool water would be fed through one end and the heated water extracted from the other. The channel could not be turned on a lathe because it only covered 270 deg of the circle. The solution was to drill the channel then finish by EDMing the channel in 3 quarter segments and then seal with an H13 insert welded top and bottom. Our customer initially felt they could fill the entire gap with weld to create the cooling channel. At Anderson Global we have designed and built hundreds of Aluminum Wheel permanent molds and we know that welding if not done correctly will create cracking and therefore leaking opportunity. By reducing the volume of weld by using an insert, we know that this provides a robust solution. Let us help you with your complex permanent mold challenges. We have seen and executed multiple best practices across many types of mold design and industry. #mold #molddesign #moldmaking #foundry #metalcasting #moldmaker #workholding
