1. Introduction Milling cutters are core tools in machining, and their performance directly determines processing efficiency, workpiece quality, and production costs. Plastic deformation and rapid flank wear are two common and costly issues in milling operations. These problems not only shorten the service life of the cutter but also lead to poor surface finish of […]
Chipping of milling cutters is a common failure affecting production efficiency and product quality in mechanical processing. As typical failure modes, tool tip chipping, middle cutting edge chipping, and large-area chipping have significant differences in their causes. Accurately distinguishing the inducing factors of these three types of chipping is crucial for quickly troubleshooting problems and […]
Aluminum alloy is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and 3C manufacturing due to its light weight, high strength, and good formability. However, its inherent softness, low melting point, and strong adhesion pose significant challenges to milling operations—common issues include built-up edge (BUE), rapid tool wear, and poor surface finish. Diamond coatings have emerged as a […]
Damaged milling cutter coatings can be addressed, but true localized repair is technically unfeasible for severe damage. Minor surface flaws may be mitigated through targeted treatments, while significant damage requires complete coating stripping and re-coating to restore performance. 1. Feasibility of Repair: Key Determinants The ability to address coating damage hinges on three core factors, […]
Hardness and toughness are mutually restrictive yet indispensable core properties of milling cutters. Hardness directly determines wear resistance and cutting precision, while toughness influences impact resistance and chipping resistance. In industrial machining, it is necessary to accurately determine the priority selection direction based on factors such as workpiece material, process requirements, and equipment conditions to […]
In the field of milling, the AE/D ratio stands as one of the core technical indicators for evaluating the rationality of machining parameters, directly correlating with tool life, machining efficiency, workpiece quality, and production costs. Numerous process handbooks and senior engineers recommend its reasonable range as 20%-40%. This conclusion is not a subjective empirical judgment, […]
Cemented carbides are the most widely used material for milling cutters, thanks to their exceptional combination of hardness, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Among the various types of cemented carbides, ultrafine-grained cemented carbide (UFCC) and conventional cemented carbide (CCC) are two dominant options in industrial milling applications. The core difference lies in the grain size of tungsten carbide (WC) […]
