Solid Carbide Milling Tools Optimizes Machining of Stainless Materials

Being solid carbide milling tool increases tool life by up to 50% in austenitic stainless steels and nickel-base alloys. Tool operates best on machines having external coolant supply. Product uses asymmetrical helix angles between 35° and 38° which results in low susceptibility to vibration thereby increasing process reliability. Minimizing build-up on cutting edge, unit is coated with Titanium Aluminum Nitride which increases tool service life.

Some companies have introduced the solid carbide mill, positioned with the Advance product line designation. Advance referring to mid-level performance and price. Advance tools are one part of a group of solid tools labeled either Supreme (high-level performance and price), Advance (mid-level performance and price) or Perform (low-level performance and price). Which is a family of solid carbide milling tools that can increase tool life by up to 50 percent in austenitic stainless steels and nickel-base alloys.

The geometry has been designed to optimize the machining of stainless materials from the ISO M material group as well as for secondary applications in ISO S materials. The new tool family is engineered to operate most efficiently on machines having an external coolant supply.

A tough carbide substrate  is used to provide superior machining reliability. In addition, process reliability is boosted by the mills’ low susceptibility to vibration by incorporating asymmetrical helix angles between 35° and 38°. The tools’ coating, a proprietary recipe of Titanium Aluminum Nitride designed and produced by Walter, increases tool service life and minimizes build-up on the cutting edge.
