Abstract

See full text

A method for manufacturing an insert pocket of a cutter body is disclosed. First, the insert pocket of the cutter body a rough milling process. Then, the insert pocket is forged using a forging tool having a shape that generally conforms to the shape of the insert pocket. Then, the insert pocket undergoes a finish milling process to qualify the pocket geometry without removing the majority of the forge-enhanced pocket material. The insert pocket can be optionally heated prior to the forging step. The grain orientation of the inset pocket is compressed by the forging process to increase the impact and fatigue resistance of the insert pocket.
