Engine block

 Cast iron

The trend towards higher performance with smaller displacement and lower fuel consumption leads to higher mechanical loads on the engine block. This necessitates increasingly high-quality materials made from grey cast iron (GG) and compacted graphite iron (CGI).

Our Tiger·tec® Silver and Tiger·tec® Gold cutting tool materials and innovative tooling systems are ideal for machining such materials. You can achieve an extremely high level of dimensional accuracy, optimum surface quality and increases in productivity of up to 100% thanks to the combined use of Walter milling tools and high-performance drills. We can handle every engine block machining operation. And you gain competitive per-part costs in mass production, even where complex components are concerned.
