Waspaloy CNC Machining
AXALLOY engineers precision-machined Waspaloy components engineered for extreme thermal environments, critical rotational stress, and severe oxidizing atmospheres. From aerospace turbine discs and combustor hardware to high-pressure energy components, we deliver tight tolerances, work-hardening control, and uncompromising documentation.
Engineered Control for Difficult-to-Cut Superalloys
Waspaloy provides exceptional high-temperature yield strength and creep resistance up to 760°C (1400°F). However, its rapid work-hardening behavior, abrasive carbide content, and poor thermal conductivity require dedicated machining strategies, specialized tool geometries, and rigid multi-axis equipment.
Thermodynamic & Tooling Control
We implement custom-ground micro-grain carbide and ceramic inserts paired with high-pressure, through-spindle coolant delivery. This suppresses thermal concentration at the cutting zone and prevents the work-hardened white layer from developing on critical flight and rotating surfaces.
- High-pressure through-tool coolant up to 70 bar
- Programmed constant chipload to prevent dwell
Multi-Axis Milling & Mill-Turn
Complex geometric profiles, internal cavities, and off-axis thread details are produced on multi-axis machining centers and live-tooled mill-turn platforms. Consolidating turning and milling operations in single-setup envelopes eliminates cumulative datum stacking errors.
- Up to 9-axis multi-tasking mill-turn platforms
- 5-axis simultaneous impeller & blade finishing
Traceability & Metrology
Every Waspaloy production lot is governed by complete raw material mill test certificates (MTR), full heat treatment records, and rigorous multi-point coordinate measuring machine (CMM) verification in a temperature-controlled environment.
- First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR / AS9102 format)
- Traceability from raw ingot to certified shipment
