Titanium
SC MILLING CUTTERS. THE EXPERT FOR TITANIUM.
CUTTING EDGES
Unequal tooth pitch of the cutting edges for particularly smooth running when trimming and during full slot milling.
CORNER RADIUS
Optimised corner radius to increase tool lifetime.
CHIP SPACES
Specially developed chip spaces to ensure smooth chip disposal, even in the full slot.
HELICAL PITCH
Dynamic helical pitch for exceptional performance.
HELIX
Face for dipping, ramping and retracting in the helix. Specifically designed for high loads.
TITANIUM MACHINING PROCESS. A CHALLENGE.
We have tailored the tools precisely to all titanium alloys to take account of the difficulties involved in the titanium machining process. The milling cutters feature a special carbide developed especially for titanium, polished chip spaces, sharp cutting edges and a particularly smooth and unique multi-layer coating. It was just as critical to find the right geometries in development, which are designed for maximum process reliability and performance.
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS WHEN MILLING TITANIUM
- The chips’ tendency to adhere
- The milling cutter is exposed to very high temperatures
- Extremely high load on the cutting edge
- Shape of the chips
- Toughness of the material
- Low expansion due to heat of titanium
