Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Red Deer Polytechnic
$25,000.00
Increasing machining productivity of Inconel components
FY 2021-22
Summary
In the machining process, the superalloy Inconel has a run time that is four to five times longer than steels. Lee Specialties, a manufacturing and fabrication facility in Central Alberta, and the Red Deer Polytechnic Centre for Innovation in Manufacturing - Technology Access Centre (CIM-TAC) have partnered to evaluate methods to increase productivity of Inconel machining in terms of tooling, machine practices, and tool configuration. The project will also consider data collection and analysis to begin to compile a strategy for machine learning concepts for the complex components produced by Lee Specialties.
