A method of making an aluminum-cubic boron nitride (Al-cBN) composite includes mixing an aluminum powder and particles of cubic boron nitride (cBN) in a solvent and sonicating to form an Al-cBN mixture; drying the Al-cBN mixture to form a dried mixture powder; and sintering by pressing and heating the dried mixture powder to form the Al-cBN composite. The aluminum powder has an average particle size of 10 to 100 micrometers (m). The cBN particles have an average particle size of from 10 to 100 m, and are uniformly dispersed throughout the Al-cBN composite.

For producing a cylindrical surface that has a surface structure of predetermined geometry suitable for application of material by thermal spraying, a geometrically predetermined groove structure of minimal depth and width is introduced into the surface by a tool embodied as a follow-on tool in that a groove cross-section is processed successively to a final size. In order for the surface to be producible in mass production with constant quality, the groove structure is worked in such that first a base groove is introduced with a groove bottom width that is smaller than the groove bottom width of the finished groove. Subsequently, at least one flank of the base groove is processed for producing an undercut groove profile by a non-cutting action or cutting action wherein the introduced groove structure is deformed in such a way that the groove openings are constricted by upsetting deformations of material.

A method and a device for facing surfaces of workpieces, in particular made of light metal alloys, in which a cutting tool is moved in a feed direction relative to the surface and removes material at a defined thickness by cutting, wherein the cutting tool is moved in a defined feed direction with one or more cutter bars oriented substantially parallel to the surface. The cutter bars are always set at an angle of <90 but >0 with respect to the feed direction. In this way, surfaces with high surface quality can be produced, in particular for workpieces made of light metal, with cost-effective machining parameters.

A rotary tool for machining workpieces, comprising at least one main body with a clamping segment, a tool head comprising a cutting region, and at least one coolant channel for feeding a cooling and lubricating fluid into the cutting region. At least one partial surface section of the cutting region forms a hardened region, which covers and/or defines the coolant channel and is surface-hardened. A method for producing a rotary tool.

In a first embodiment, at a time of magnetic pulse welding, a stepped tube profile machining process axially bores a walled tube from an end inward to a transition depth to form a section with a reduced wall thickness and then axially bores the walled tube from the transition depth to a fall off depth, thereby forming a section with a maximized welding wall section. In a second embodiment, also at a time of magnetic pulse welding, a surface angle tube profile machining process axially bores at a surface angle a walled tube from an end to a bore length to form an angular welding wall thickness inward to a maximized wall section. For both embodiments, the bored surfaces are virgin with no pits, oil, residue, or oxidation thereon, thus making the machined walled tubes available for immediate magnetic pulse welding.
