<strong>PFERD</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Use</strong> on AluminiumIntroduction, Table of ContentsAugust Rüggeberg GmbH & Co. KG, Marienheide/Germany, develops,produces and markets tools <strong>for</strong> surface finishing and cutting materialsunder the brand name <strong>PFERD</strong>. For more than 100 years, <strong>PFERD</strong> has beena distinctive brand mark <strong>for</strong> excellent quality, top per<strong>for</strong>mance andeconomic value.<strong>PFERD</strong> produces a comprehensive tool range <strong>for</strong> the most diverse aluminiummachining and finishing tasks. All of these products have been purpose-developed<strong>for</strong> their respective application and have proven themselves in practice.In the present issue of <strong>PFERD</strong> PRAXIS we have summarized our experience ofmany years, including the very latest know-how, on the specific machining andper<strong>for</strong>mance behaviour of tools <strong>for</strong> use on aluminium and its diverse alloys.AluminiumA Material with a Future ......................3More than 1,000 Alloys ......................4Properties of Aluminium ......................5Machinability Groups SOFT, TOUGH, HARD ...6Aluminium Machining Recommendations .........7Important Safety Instructions, oSa,<strong>PFERD</strong>ERGONOMICS ........................8Machining Processes ..........................9On pages 10-24 we show you which <strong>PFERD</strong> tools are bestsuited <strong>for</strong> solving the various application needs in workingwith aluminium.Table of Contents .......................... 9Abrasive Cut-Off and Cut-Out Work ......... 10-11Deburring ............................. 12-13Preparation <strong>for</strong> Welding – Joint Preparation ....14-15Preparation <strong>for</strong> Welding – Surface Machining ..16-17Weld Dressing ..........................18-19Fine Grinding and Finishing ................20-21Texturing ..............................22-23Polishing .................................24<strong>Tools</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Use</strong> on Aluminiumfrom <strong>PFERD</strong> Catalogues 201-209 ...............25On pages 26-36 we describe the special properties ofindividual groups of tools which are particularly wellsuited <strong>for</strong> use on aluminium, adhering to the structure ofour <strong>PFERD</strong> Catalogues 201-209.Table of Contents ..........................25Files .....................................26Rotary Cutters .............................27Hole Saws and Hole Cutters ..................28Mounted Points ............................29Grinding and Polishing <strong>Tools</strong> ...............30-31Cut-Off Wheels ............................32Rein<strong>for</strong>ced Grinding Wheels ..................33POLIFAN ® Flap Discs ........................34Industrial Power Brushes .....................35Power <strong>Tools</strong> ...............................362
AluminiumA Material with a FutureThe use of aluminium and its alloys is growing, and so are metalworkingapplications involving this material – why?Aluminium, at about 8%, is the most abundant element in the earth’s crust afteroxygen and silicon. Given the material properties of aluminium and its alloys, i.e.■■extreme durability,■■low weight,■■corrosion resistance,■■recyclability,aluminium materials have become progressively more widespread in recent years.The development of ever more lightweight parts which must nevertheless meetunchanged strength requirements has given rise to an ever-growing use ofaluminium alloys. The latter can be <strong>for</strong>med into virtually any shape using a varietyof industrially available processes (casting, rolling, extruding), which opens up awealth of options to the industrial user or processor of aluminium alloys. At thelevel of joining technology, one focus of development lies on adapting commonmetal-joining processes so as to make them suitable <strong>for</strong> use with aluminium alloys.In many segments and branches of industry, materials have to meet exactingdemands regarding surface quality, environmental per<strong>for</strong>mance and safety.Advanced transport systems are no longer conceivable without the use oflightweight aluminium components. In addition, aluminium as a material groupperfectly satisfies today’s increasingly stringent environmental requirementsconcerning product recyclability.Our goal is to provide you with optimum results and unsurpassed costefficiency in your aluminium machining and finishing work.By now, nearly all welding processes <strong>for</strong> joining aluminium and its alloys havebecome available on an industrial scale, reflecting the special properties of thismaterial.Special aluminium alloys have become the material of choice in a wide range ofapplications from housings, vehicles, tank construction, mechanical and facadeengineering to doors, windows, foundations, heat exchangers and aerospacecomponents.An increasingly numerous user community is aiming <strong>for</strong> optimum results andmaximum cost-efficiency in aluminium machining or processing. At <strong>PFERD</strong>, thedevelopment of new aluminium-working tools has there<strong>for</strong>e been a high priority<strong>for</strong> decades.3
