Real Case Studies

SUS316 Stainless Steel Impeller

This impeller is made of SUS316 austenitic stainless steel and serves as a core flow‑directing component in fluid booster pumps for a Brazilian equipment manufacturer. The client had approached three previous shops, all failing due to blade deformation, coaxiality issues, micro‑hole blockage, and poor surface finish. They found us via Google search and specified three strict requirements: batch consistency, micron‑level tolerances, and burr‑free fluid‑contact surfaces.

Key drawing specifications:

  • Overall impeller structure with multiple curved guide blades and φ1.5 micro‑holes distributed on the disc.
  • Default tolerances: ±0.05mm for dimensions, ±0.5° for angles, datum A based on inner bore.
  • Critical points: blade surface profile, micro‑hole consistency, coaxiality, and surface finish Ra.

Challenges

  • Blade contour tolerance: outer diameter φ31±0.01mm, surface profile ≤0.02mm on SR15 radius.
  • Angle positioning: 75° ±0.5° -- previous samples had errors up to 0.9° causing vibration.
  • Micro‑holes φ1.5±0.02mm with position tolerance ≤0.03mm.
  • Multilevel step dimensions: 1.0, 2.5, 3, 8.33, 10.27 mm all ±0.05mm.
  • Geometric tolerances: radial runout ≤0.02mm, face runout ≤0.015mm, coaxiality ≤0.005mm.
  • Surface requirements: fluid‑contact Ra≤0.4μm, other mating faces Ra≤0.8μm, edge radius R0.1~R0.25.
  • Material hardness: final HRC≤7, no work hardening or grain tearing.

Our 5‑Axis Process Solution

We used a DMG MORI 5 axis machining center to complete the entire impeller in a single clamping, avoiding multi‑setup errors. Process steps:

  1. Raw material pre‑treatment: Stress‑relief annealing of SUS316 bar stock after rough cutting, leaving 0.3mm finishing allowance.
  2. Single‑clamping rough milling: 5‑axis simultaneous roughing with carbide tools, spindle 6500 rpm, feed 0.4mm/r, depth ≤0.15mm per pass to minimise stress.
  3. Semi‑finishing: Leave 0.03mm on blade surfaces and bores, pre‑drill micro‑holes.
  4. Precision finishing (core step): Use ultra‑fine grain ball‑end tools for blade surfaces, controlling toolpath to achieve profile within 0.012‑0.018mm.
  5. Micro‑hole drilling: Utilise C‑axis indexing to drill all φ1.5 holes in one setup with high‑pressure internal coolant; deburr and chamfer.
  6. CNC deburring & edge rounding: Automatic nylon brush deburring to R0.15 radius without manual intervention.
  7. Final inspection & ultrasonic cleaning: CMM inspection, then ultrasonic cleaning to remove debris, drying and packaging.

Supporting equipment: high‑pressure coolant, Renishaw in‑process probe for tool compensation and automatic datum setting every 20 parts.

Client outcome: After receiving the first 50 pieces, the client's third‑party inspection verified 100% compliance. Compared with previous suppliers, vibration dropped by 70%, noise reduced by 16 dB, and micro‑holes remained unblocked. The client has now placed annual orders for all three impeller variants. Written feedback: "Best dimensional consistency we have ever seen in stainless steel impellers."

After 10 months of use, no corrosion, stress deformation, or return claims. We provide full inspection reports with each batch, 100% inspection on critical tolerances, and free rework for any non‑conforming parts.

CVD Vacuum Chamber Base Plate

This round multi‑layer flange base plate (part number SLY033‑04‑03A) is made of 7075‑T651 aluminum alloy, weighing 0.849kg per piece. It serves as the core carrier plate inside a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber, supporting wafer positioning under high vacuum and cyclic temperature changes. The client, a domestic semiconductor equipment manufacturer, had previously tried two other shops with a yield below 60% due to flatness, hole coaxiality, and seal groove roughness issues. They approached us after a referral.

Key challenges:

  • Multi‑layer concentric coaxiality: controlled to ≤0.008mm (previous supplier only managed 0.03mm, causing wafer eccentricity).
  • Flatness of the sealing surface: ≤0.012mm over 300mm; O‑ring groove bottom flatness ≤0.003mm, groove width ±0.005mm, corner radius R0.8 ±0.002mm -- critical for vacuum sealing.
  • Hole positioning: all dowel pins position tolerance ≤0.01mm, bore tolerance H6 (+0.003/+0.009mm); minimum flow hole diameter 1.2mm with depth‑to‑diameter ratio 12:1, requiring precise drilling to avoid deflection.
  • Surface finish differentiation: sealing surfaces Ra≤0.2μm, non‑mating surfaces Ra≤1.6μm, general walls Ra≤3.2μm.

Our 5‑Axis Process Solution

All operations were completed on a DMG 5 axis machining center with single clamping, eliminating cumulative errors from multiple setups. Process steps:

  1. Stress relief of raw material: Low‑temperature aging at 120°C for 4 hours, then secondary vibratory stress relief after roughing.
  2. Vacuum fixture: Custom‑designed vacuum chuck with segmented sealing, maintaining negative pressure of ‑0.09MPa, workpiece distortion ≤0.003mm.
  3. Roughing: Carbide corn‑cob cutters, layer depth 0.15mm, feed 1200mm/min; circular climbing paths to avoid unilateral stress.
  4. Precision finishing of seal groove and micro‑holes: Custom‑formed radius cutter for O‑ring groove with 5‑axis contouring, speed 8000rpm, finishing allowance 0.01mm per side; 1.2mm micro‑holes drilled with tilted 5‑axis angle and internal high‑pressure coolant.
  5. Mirror finishing: Diamond fly‑cutter for sealing faces, using oil‑based minimum quantity lubrication to achieve Ra 0.2μm without subsequent polishing.
  6. Deburring & passivation: Ultrasonic + dry‑ice compound deburring to remove all burrs from micro‑holes and grooves.

Inspection: Zeiss CMM, roughness tester, roundness tester, laser flatness gauge. 100% first‑article inspection, 15% sampling for batch production.

Client outcome: After first article approval, the client's third‑party lab confirmed all data within ±0.002mm of our report. Vacuum chamber achieved ultimate pressure 1×10⁻⁶ Pa with no leakage. Yield rate increased from 58% to 99.2%. Rework cost dropped by 72%. Assembly time per unit reduced from 1.8 hours to 0.35 hours. After 50 thermal cycles (-20°C to +120°C), flatness deformation was only 0.011mm (compared to 0.038mm from previous supplier). The client has now transferred all vacuum chamber structural parts to us for 5 axis machining.

After 14 months of continuous production, no dimensional failures reported. We provide 3‑year traceability of inspection data and a 6‑month free‑rework warranty covering non‑conforming parts.
