Each rotor was machined to better than a 32 micro-inch finish in one set-up. Compressor efficiency improved 15%. Manufacturing cycle and costs were significantly reduced. The material is 4140 steel, 40 Rc. The total cycle time for the pair of rotors is 6 hours with total consumable tooling cost under $50.00 per set.
