At present, the processed aluminum parts are mainly divided into deformed aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys. What kind of carbide end mill are used for machining aluminum alloys? If choose aluminum alloy special end mill or aluminum alloy special cutting tool with better processing efficiency? Let’s talk about aluminum’s characteristics, machining tools and cutting parameters of aluminum alloys,to find a good tungsten carbide end mill for aluminum.
First, the processing characteristics of aluminum alloy
The milling aluminum alloy has the following major features;
1, aluminum alloy hardness is low
Compared to titanium alloys and other hardened steels, the hardness of aluminum alloys is lower, of course, heat treatment, or the hardness of die-cast aluminum alloys is also high. HRC hardness of ordinary aluminum plate is generally below HRC40 degrees. Therefore, when machining aluminum alloys, the load on the tool is small. Because of the better thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy, the milling temperature of the milling aluminum alloy is lower and the milling speed can be increased.
2, aluminum alloy low plasticity
Aluminum alloys have low plasticity and low melting points. The problem of sticking knife is serious when processing aluminum alloy, the chip removal performance is poor, and the surface roughness is also relatively high. In fact, the processing of aluminum alloys is mainly a result of poor adhesion and roughness. As long as solving the problem of sticking knife and processing surface quality, the problem of aluminum alloy machining is solved.
3, Tool easy wear
Because of the unsuitable tool materials, when the aluminum alloy is processed, the wear of the tool is often accelerated due to problems such as sticking knife and chip removal.
Second,What tungsten carbide end mill for aluminum processing
Generally use 3 flutes carbide end mill bit for aluminum,due to different condition in processing,some time we also choose 2 flutes ball end mill or 4 flutes flat end mill to machining aluminum alloy.as EJ Carbide’s experience,most widely used is 3 flutes aluminum processing flat end mill.
Selection for tungsten carbide end mill for aluminum
3 flutes is the most widely used,choose tungsten carbide materials YG series grade,which can reduce the chemical affinity of the tool and the aluminum.EJ Carbide has special carbide end mill series for aluminum.
