Currently, tungsten carbide is the major material for producing threaded milling cutters. High-speed steel screw tap’s processing line speed is only about 10 ~ 30m / min, while that of tungsten carbide threaded milling cutter reaches 80 ~ 200m / min. Therefore, the latter is obviously more suitable for high-speed cutting, and the surface roughness of threads processed by it is also greatly improved.

High-speed steel screws used for machining of high hardness materials and high temperature alloys, such as titanium and nickel-based alloys always have short service life. However, this problem can be well solved by adopting tungsten carbide threaded milling cutter as machining tools, because it possesses hardness up to HRC58 ~ 62. What is more, more than one screw taps will be needed to process threads with the same thread pitch but different diameters, but if it is processed by tungsten carbide threaded milling cutters, only one will be enough.When thread tap wears, it cannot be used again, but this will not happen to tungsten carbide treaded milling cutter because its cutter radius compensation adjustment can be done through numerical control system, which enables the cutter to work normally as before.
