**Challenge: How to Meet the Automotive Industry's Requirements for Engine Block Machining?**
**Solution: Choose a Consistent, Cost-Effective, and Easy-to-Use Tooling Solution.**
Quality, cost efficiency, and reliability are key drivers in the automotive industry’s development. As a result, producing engine blocks for global automotive manufacturers demands tools that are predictable and highly consistent. Manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to reduce inventory and production costs. The tooling solution must be fast, user-friendly, and allow quick access to tooling parts from suppliers.

With advancements in casting technology, modern engine block machining now focuses more on semi-finishing and finishing processes rather than removing large amounts of material. Drilling remains a critical step for this complex part, with single-hole cost and process safety being important factors. Hole machining is typically done through a comprehensive process, where chamfered holes are often threaded, precisely sized, or reamed to meet tight tolerances.
To address these challenges, Sandvik Coromant has developed a tailored tooling solution for this complex component. This includes using the new S60 face milling cutters for roughing and semi-finishing, as well as solid carbide drills like the CoroDrill 460 for hole machining. Combined with a range of optimized taps and groove shapes, this solution is specifically designed for cast iron materials.

Beyond offering a wide range of tooling solutions, Sandvik Coromant also provides global support for various automotive applications, including crankshaft machining. Their dedicated application centers ensure that manufacturers receive expert guidance and tailored solutions. This comprehensive approach gives Sandvik Coromant an edge in delivering reliable, high-performance tools for critical automotive parts, helping manufacturers boost productivity while maintaining cost control.
**In Summary**
Producing engine blocks for the global automotive industry requires predictability and consistency. Sandvik Coromant’s tooling solutions meet manufacturers’ needs for quality, cost efficiency, and reliability.
**Semi-Finishing**
Semi-finishing of the cylinder housing involves milling cast iron using the new S60 face milling cutter. This solution delivers long and predictable tool life, along with high cutting parameters to reduce machining time.
**Face Milling – Roughing and Finishing**
Machining the combustion surface of the cylinder is challenging. A large-diameter milling cutter that covers the entire cylinder width and end faces is required. Small tools can handle smaller surfaces and bosses. CoroMill 365, 590 milling cutters, and S60 face milling cutters are available for multiple machining centerlines. New blade materials, geometries, and multi-angle inserts with up to 12 blades provide reliable and efficient tools for the automotive industry.
