Transmission housing


Die-cast aluminium has low hardness and good thermal conductivity, but has a low melting point, which makes it easy to form chip tumours during the cutting process and affects the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of the machined part. WSS PCD tools are a good solution to these problems caused by the characteristics of die-cast aluminium.
