Machining Circumference

Ring Cross Sections, Showing Draft and Machining Stock Requirements

wpe5.jpg (20106 bytes)

The circumference of the ring is a good candidate for reduced machining.
  • In the original design extra stock was required on the circumference because of the draft requirements of the forging dies.
  • Using metal casting in sand molds, less draft is required on the circumference, so there is less stock to remove in the machining operation.
