A New Means for Increasing Profitability in Milling Non-Ferrous Materials

Highlights


The new endmills are designed with a 45° flute, wiper flat on the face end, controlled land and polished flutes that provide fluent chip evacuation, smooth cut and superb surface finish.

The tools are coated with Ta-C (Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon) diamond like coating, also known as DLC coating. Ta-C is considered to be the superior type among the different DLC forms and therefore provides desirable qualities such as hardness, wear-resistance and slickness, and consequently prolongs tool life significantly and diminishes chip jamming.

These properties make it ideal for machining non-ferrous materials:

• Aluminum and Aluminum alloys with up to 12% Si content
• Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
• Carbon and plastic
• Composite

The new line will contain several items covering a wide range of diameters, corner radii useable lengths and reach in 3 forms with and without an extended neck:

• Square end with sharp cutting edge
• Ball nose
• Bullnose

The new line is suitable for HEM toolpaths with up to 20% stepover in roughing, semi-finishing and finishing toolpaths and can perform a ramp-down of up to 3°.
