Challenge: How to meet the automotive industry's requirements for engine block processing?
Solution: Choose a consistent, cost-effective, and easy-to-use tooling solution.
Quality, cost efficiency and reliability are the main factors driving the development of the automotive industry. Therefore, the production of engine blocks for the global automotive industry requires our tools to be predictable and highly consistent. Manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to control inventory and production costs. The tooling solution must be fast and easy to use, and quickly get the tooling parts from the supplier.

The development of casting technology means that current engine block machining is focusing on semi-finishing and finishing processes, rather than removing large amounts of material. Drilling is still a major step for this complex part, and single hole cost and process safety are also important factors. Hole machining is done through a comprehensive process, and the chamfered holes are usually threaded or precisely sized or reamed to the desired tolerance.
Sandvik Coromant has developed a specific tooling solution to meet the production needs of this complex component, including the use of a new generation of S60 face milling cutters for roughing and semi-finishing; and the hole for solid carbide drill CoroDrill 460 Machining, and with a series of existing taps, with a variety of optimized groove shape, for the hole processing of cast iron materials.

In addition to offering a wide range of tooling solutions, Sandvik Coromant also provides global support for a wide range of automotive applications, including crankshaft machining, and has a dedicated application center. In this way, Sandvik Coromant offers unmatched capabilities and solutions for critical automotive parts processing, helping manufacturers meet the need to continuously improve productivity while controlling costs.
to sum up
Producing engine blocks for the global automotive industry requires predictability and consistency. Sandvik Coromant's tooling solutions meet manufacturers' requirements for quality, cost efficiency and reliability.
Semi-finishing
Semi-finishing of the cylinder housing Semi-finishing milling of cast iron with the new S-60 face milling cutter. The solution offers long and predictable tool life and high cutting parameters for shorter machining times.
Face milling - roughing and finishing
The combustion surface of the cylinder is not easy to machine, and it is necessary to use a large-diameter milling cutter that covers the entire cylinder width and front and rear end faces; small tools can machine small surfaces and bosses. CoroMill 365, 590 milling cutters and S60 face milling cutters are available for multiple sets of machining centerlines. New blade materials and geometries and multi-angle inserts of up to 12 blades have been introduced to provide reliable and efficient tools for the automotive industry.
