What Is Carbide Milling Cutter
Cemented carbide milling cutter refers to a milling cutter made of cemented carbide. To understand cemented carbide milling cutter, we must first know what cemented carbide is. Cemented carbide is a powder metallurgy product sintered in vacuum furnace or hydrogen reduction furnace with carbide (WC, TIC) micron powder of high hardness refractory metal as the main component and cobalt (CO) or nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (MO) as the binder.
classification
Carbide milling cutter is mainly divided into integral carbide milling cutter Carbide straight shank slot milling cutter Carbide saw blade milling cutter Carbide auger milling cutter Carbide machine reamers and milling cutters Carbide end mills Carbide ball end milling cutter
Type and use
Purpose of carbide milling cutter:
Cemented carbide milling cutters are generally mainly used in CNC machining centers and CNC engraving machines. It can also be installed on an ordinary milling machine to process some hard and uncomplicated heat treatment materials.
1. Carbide cylindrical milling cutter: used for machining plane on horizontal milling machine. The cutter teeth are distributed on the circumference of the milling cutter and are divided into straight teeth and spiral teeth according to the tooth shape. According to the number of teeth, it is divided into coarse teeth and fine teeth. Spiral tooth coarse tooth milling cutter has few teeth, high tooth strength and large chip holding space, which is suitable for rough machining; Fine tooth milling cutter is suitable for finish machining.
2. Carbide face milling cutter: it is used for machining plane on vertical milling machine, end milling machine or gantry milling machine. There are cutter teeth on the end face and circumference, as well as coarse teeth and fine teeth. Its structure has three types: integral type, inlaid type and indexable type.
3. Carbide end milling cutter: it is used to process grooves and step surfaces. The cutter teeth are on the circumference and end face, and cannot be fed along the axial direction during operation. When the end milling cutter has end teeth passing through the center, it can be fed axially.
4. Carbide three face edge milling cutter: it is used to process various grooves and step surfaces. There are cutter teeth on both sides and circumference.
5. Carbide angle milling cutter: used for milling grooves at a certain angle, including single angle milling cutter and double angle milling cutter.
6. Carbide saw blade milling cutter: used for processing deep grooves and cutting workpieces. There are many cutter teeth on its circumference. In order to reduce the friction during milling, there is a secondary deflection angle of 15 ′ ~ 1 ° on both sides of the cutter teeth. In addition, there are keyway milling cutter, dovetail groove milling cutter, T-groove milling cutter and various forming milling cutters.
