Abstract: A milling cutter tool, including a basic body and a cutting body. The basic body includes an envelope surface and two opposite ends between which a geometrical center axis extends around which the basic body is rotated. The cutting body is fixed in a seating of the basic body and includes a pair of opposite main surfaces, a pair of opposite sides, and a pair of opposite end surfaces between which an imaginary, axial neutral plane extends situated halfway between the two main surfaces. The cutting body includes a set of chip removing teeth, which protrude from the envelope surface of the basic body, and are arranged in a row one after the other along at least one of the pair of opposite sides of the cutting body. Each one of the teeth includes a chip surface formed adjacent to a cutting edge from which the tooth extends between a pair of flanks along a length extension which is orientated at an angle (?) to the neutral plane.

Abstract: A method of cooling strip or wire products in which, subsequent to being annealed, the product is cooled to a temperature of about 20-50° C. below its oxidation temperature. The product is wound around a drum immediately downstream of an annealing path so that the product lies in mutually juxtaposed turns on the drum. It is thereafter unwound from the drum after a number of turns. The number of turns is such that the product is cooled to a desired temperature. The drum has a diameter that exceeds the diameter at which the product will be influenced mechanically by plastic deformation.

Abstract: The present invention A relates to a female part intended for top hammer-drilling equipment and a method for manufacturing female parts. The female part has a thread in the form of a ridge (2) in a wall (5). The ridge is delimited by a crest (9) and two flanks (10) between which a likewise helical groove (11) having a bottom (12) runs. An end the of the groove (11) is defined by a borderline (18), which separates the groove bottom (12) from a part surface (19) formed in the inside of the wall (5), the width of which part surface successively decreases in the peripheral direction, and which has a rotationally symmetrical shape essentially similar to the rotationally symmetrical basic shape of the thread (1).

Abstract: A basic body for tools for chip removing machining, including an internal duct, and an inlet including a female thread for the supply of liquid to the duct. The female thread of the inlet is formed in a cage, which is inserted in a seating delimited by an endless inner wall as well as a bottom, the duct mouthing in the seating.

Abstract: A face-milling insert, including a chip-removing main cutting edge adjacent to a first clearance surface, and a surface-wiping secondary edge adjacent to a second clearance surface, the main cutting edge forming an angle of 45° with an imaginary straight line in the extension of the secondary edge. Adjacent to a third clearance surface, an intermediate cutting edge is formed between the main cutting edge and the secondary edge, the intermediate cutting edge being shorter than the main cutting edge and forming an angle within a range of 20-40° with the extension line. The intermediate cutting edge transforms into the adjacent edges via arched part edges adjacent to convex clearance surfaces.
