Polishing And Passivation Process
Unique polishing passivation process is utilized to greatly reduce the coefficient of friction. This process is especially suitable for aluminum with gold, copper alloy, tempered plastic, and other non-metallic materials.
Sharp Edge Design
The design of sharp blades helps in reducing cutting resistance, thereby significantly decreasing the generation of burrs and vibration marks. This is further improved by an optimized chip evacuation function achieved through deep groove design.
High Performance Aluminum Cutter
By employing fine grinding techniques, the issue of chip sticking is effectively resolved. This high-performance aluminum cutter can meet higher requirements on appearance effects and enhance metal removal efficiency.
Key Features of Aluminum End Mills:
Material:
Typically made from carbide (solid carbide or carbide-tipped) for rigidity and heat resistance.
Flute Count:
Usually 2 or 3 flutes.
Fewer flutes prevent chip clogging and improve chip evacuation (important for soft materials like aluminum).
Helix Angle:
High helix angles (typically 35°–45°) enhance chip removal and reduce heat buildup.
Surface Coating (or uncoated):
Often uncoated or coated with ZrN, TiB2, or DLC for better lubricity and reduced aluminum adhesion (galling).
TiN is less common due to aluminum’s tendency to stick to it.
Geometry:
Polished flutes and sharp cutting edges help reduce built-up edge (BUE) and increase tool life.
Corner radius or ball nose may be used for specific applications.
