Through experimentation on raw material, we examined the feasibility of utilizing EN AW 7075 for the production of a highly-demanding sealing element. By establishing geometrical requirements, calculating turning speeds, forces, feeds, and proper coolant lubricating fluid pressure, we addressed current turning issues. Our efforts led to the elimination of tool breaks, the realization of chip benefits, and the attainment of a smooth inner surface and face groove. We also achieved dimensional stability within the tolerance through reamed hole. The introduction of brushing on a machine with a rotating brush enabled us to do away with time-consuming manual detangling. Our optimization of the turning process for the sealing element resulted in significant cost savings for the company. By establishing parameters for turning aluminum EN AW 7075, we were able to implement a stable turning process, which eliminated frequent tool changes, reduced tool corrections, and minimized time spent cleaning chips from critical parts for operators.
