For material thicknesses over 300 mm, only the torch and water jet cutting are suitable. With a look at the quality, a decision to cut water steel is certainly logical, but not all users can make this investment and do not have the necessary space.

Mobile bevelling machines are increasingly replacing the classic procedures for preparing weld seams, such as roller shears, burning and manually angle grinders. Modern, powerful machines not only ensure greater efficiency, they also impress with their high surface quality. The machine moves to the metal plates or work fix with smaller pieces, so its use is very flexible.

Laser cutting is always the first choice, particularly in the thin sheet sector, and impresses with its high level of economy. This allows workpieces from a wide variety of material groups to be manufactured with very high component accuracy without mechanical finishing.

Inconel 718 OP has 54% nickel and additional alloying elements per the below table.The main feature of nickel-based alloys is their excellent strength across a wide temperature range combined with good corrosion resistance. In this sub-group, the material standards also define the allowed hardness range, and hardness is a significant factor affecting the machinability (besides the chemical composition).Inconel 718 OP is among the hardest of the nickel-based alloys, and accordingly has poor machinability of only 12%Superalloys should be machined with a positive and sharp cutting edges. Geometries that are suitable for austenitic stainless steel will also work well on HRSA. However, quality manufacturers will have in their catalogs additional geometries that are specifically designed for these challenging materials.Summery:For general Turning of Material Inconel 718 OP at stable conditions use a grade with a Very Hard substrate and PVD coating.For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 130 - 180 [SFM] / 40 - 55 [m/min].Consider using CBN inserts. Although they cost more than twice, they enable increasing the cutting speed by 2-4 times (relative to carbide).

If the aim is only to make the chamfering process profitable, the decision to use the mechanical chamfering process is obvious. The mechanical processes are gentle on health, economical and handy. Various solutions can be offered for sheet thicknesses from 3 mm to 100 mm. The finishing is very different. Chamfering on chamfering machines with roller shears is very precise with regard to the angular accuracy, but has a rough surface, which is caused by the action of the cutting wheel. However, this corrugated pattern is irrelevant for the subsequent welding process, since the material is completely melted during welding.

The large number of criteria therefore makes it impossible to make blanket statements. Your customer's requirements and the economic efficiency of the bevel production are significant.

These bevelling machines operate using the roller shear method. Here, a long chip is sheared off the sheet edge by means of a slowly rotating cutting wheel or shear wheel. This enables speeds of up to 3 m / min (up to 5 times faster than conventional methods). The costs for the meter chamfer are up to 75% lower than with other processes! Without dust and without noise, since there are no milling chips and no grinding dust.

Plasma cutting has made significant progress in recent years due to the development of state-of-the-art multi-gas burners and is one of the most economical separation processes, particularly for thick CrNi sheets and in the medium steel range. The cutting quality in the thickness range from 15 mm to 40 mm is the same as that of laser cutting. However, this thermal separation process impresses with high cutting speeds, which is why the productivity of the manufacturing process is significantly increased. Especially in the production of components that still have to be welded, turned, milled or further mechanically processed, plasma cutting offers extensive advantages.

In addition to the efficient and professional results, a major advantage of mechanized weld preparation is the health-friendly way of working. In contrast to the common methods of preparing weld seams, which produce fine dust or even toxic gases that get into the ambient air and can thus be inhaled, mechanized processing only results in chamfer sections, milling chips, nibble lumps or coarse chips that simply fall on the floor or in the designated containers.

The laser has opened up new applications in the field of sheet metal processing. In the thin sheet metal sector in particular, there is no way around laser cutting due to the high cutting speeds and low thermal stress. The laser processing impresses with almost rectangular cutting edges and a minimal cutting gap with achievable tolerances of up to +/- 0.1 mm / m. An almost unlimited variety of materials has made the laser number 1 among cutting tools in many areas. Stainless steel up to 50 mm, steel up to 40 mm and aluminum up to 20 mm can be cut safely. But lasers are also used for processing in other material groups such as wood, plastic or paper. The disadvantage of laser cutting is the reduced process stability with reflecting surfaces, a limited sheet thickness range and the extensive occupational safety measures.

Water jet cutting is an effective alternative to conventional cutting processes and the ideal cutting solution for many users. From foam to hard sapphire, with a high-pressure water jet of up to 6,200 bar, even the hardest materials become as soft as butter. Especially when it comes to heat-sensitive materials, this is an useful method. Thanks to the latest technological developments, this innovative process is entering new areas of accuracy and productivity. The result is a significantly improved quality of part tolerance and angular accuracy. The addition of sharp-edged abrasives such as sand or quartz can further increase the effectiveness of water jet cutting, which is why very thick material thicknesses can also be cut. Stainless steel up to 300 mm and aluminum up to a thickness of 400 mm can be cut.

Inconel 718 OP is a Nickel-based heat resistant superalloy (HRSA) material with a Machinability rating of 12% and Hardness of 38 HRC.Inconel 718 OP has 54% nickel and additional alloying elements per the below table.The main feature of nickel-based alloys is their excellent strength across a wide temperature range combined with good corrosion resistance. In this sub-group, the material standards also define the allowed hardness range, and hardness is a significant factor affecting the machinability (besides the chemical composition).Inconel 718 OP is among the hardest of the nickel-based alloys, and accordingly has poor machinability of only 12%Superalloys should be machined with a positive and sharp cutting edges.

To ensure the best possible connection quality at the weld seam, oils, greases, varnishes, paints and oxide layers on parts to be welded must be removed so that the joint edges on which the work is carried out are metallically clean. When processing, you should also make sure that no oil-containing coolants and lubricants are used so that the preparatory work is not neglected. The mechanized weld preparation avoids this. With this procedure, we resign cooling water containing emulsions, which in most cases is used in the preparation of weld seams by manual methods or CNC milling machines, and instead mill, shear or grind the material completely dry.

If the final processing requirement is high, the welding edge milling machine is a very good alternative. Even very resistant metals such as Hardox and Duplex can be processed and chamfers up to 60mm can be created.

There is no clear answer to this question, because first it has to be clarified what is meant by the term "best"? And depending on the cutting task, a certain method is most appropriate. No process can be considered the only correct one, but all cutting processes have their authorizations, their special areas of application, strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages and individual cost structures.
