Development Prospects and Use of Carbide Milling Cutters

Carbide milling cutter refers to a milling cutter made of hard alloy. Carbide carbides (WC, TiC) micron-sized powders with high hardness and refractory metals are therefore an urgent factor, and cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) or molybdenum (Mo) binders are used in vacuum furnaces or hydrogen reduction. Sintered powder metallurgy products in the furnace. Milling cutter is an urgent tool for dull machining, and its processing volume accounts for about 80%-90% of the total amount of die cutting. thus becoming the focus of the development of dull machining tools. Since the milling cutter is the tool with the largest amount of metal removal in the cutting process, increasing the milling machining efficiency has become one of the preferences of the milling cutter innovation. Cemented carbide endmills are used for finishing, and are also effective, low-cost processing essentials, and extend the life of things, and play a good role in the processing of difficult-to-machine materials. With the prevalence of NC milling and machining in China, various kinds of precision parts and precision molds are needed for processing. We have started to promote the use of group carbide end mills. Compared with high-speed steel end mills. the group carbide end mills are easy to break, easy to chip, and costly. With the growth of aerospace industry and energy distribution manufacturing industry, the use of super alloys (including superalloys, titanium alloys, etc.) has rapidly increased, placing higher demands on processing efficiency and tool life, and also promoting new products from tool suppliers. R & D things. Analogy, the CoolStar series of cemented carbide end mills introduced by Mitsubishi Co., Ltd., specially designed chip flutes have revolutionized chip evacuation results, and have provided multiple internal cooling holes in each flutes to improve cooling results. In addition, the use of high toughness matrix material with good wear resistance can achieve high-efficiency machining of super alloy materials and extend tool life. OSG has exhibited an end mill developed for the machining of composite materials for the aerospace industry. The cutter has a special groove shape that can be used to restrain delamination and form burrs when processing multi-layer composite materials

Rotatable and welded tool and integral tool features

The indexable cutting tool is a type of tool that has a pre-machined polygonal blade with a number of cutting edges. The tool is clamped to the body by means of a rigid clamp. When a cutting edge is dulled in the course of use, just loosen the clamping of the blade, index or change the blade so that the new cutting edge enters the position and can be used continuously by clamping. The tool shown in the figure below shows the changeable blade of the indexable end mill. Indexable cutters have two features compared to welded and community cutters. One is a blade mounted on the body and at least two pre-machined edges are available. The second is that the position of the cutting edge after the indexing blade is fixed on the tool body and how many parameters are the same. Compared with welding tools, indexable inserts have the following characteristics: The insert becomes an independent result component, its cutting performance has been expanded and improved; the rigid clamping restrains the influence and limitation of the welding process, and is more conducive to selecting various The blade of the material, and fully play its cutting performance, thereby improving the cutting efficiency; the cutting edge space position relative to the body is solid and stable, saving the time required for the tool change, knife and so on, and improve the utilization of machine tools Due to the high cutting efficiency of the indexable cutting tool and the low funding time, the ergonomics are improved, and the tool body of the indexable cutting tool can be reused, which saves steel and manufacturing costs, and therefore has good economy. The growth of indexable cutting tools has greatly promoted the advancement of tooling skills. At the same time, the specialized and standardized production of indexable cutting tools has promoted the growth of the blade manufacturing process.

Cutting tool tips

Superhard tools are mainly made of diamond and cubic boron nitride. Among them, synthetic diamond composite (PCD) tools and cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tools dominate. Many cutting concepts, such as green machining, grinding by car, grinding by grinding, hard machining, high-speed cutting, dry cutting, etc., are all due to the application of super-hard tools, so super-hard tools have become impossible in cutting. Missing important means. With the advancement of science and technology, the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, the rapid development of CNC machining technology, and the widespread use of CNC machine tools, the production and application of super-hard tools has become increasingly widespread. PCD and PCBN tools have been widely used in the traditional fields of machinery, metallurgy, geology, petroleum, coal, stone, construction, high-tech fields such as electronic information, aerospace, defense and military, and emerging industries such as automobiles and home appliances. Greatly promoted the rapid development of cutting processing and advanced manufacturing technology, and the market has expanded rapidly. According to reports, China's current PCD, PCBNCBN annual output of 400,000 cutting tools, sales of less than 200 million yuan, and the authoritative department survey shows that The potential market sales of the two types of tools will exceed 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. It can be said that the ultra-hard tool industry has a lot to offer. In spite of this, for superhard cutting tools in China, there is still a lot of work to be done in order to catch up with this rapid development. As superhard tools are mostly high-end products, manufacturing strength is high, and the technical threshold is high. Controlled by foreign manufacturers, China has only a small share. According to a survey conducted by a domestic consulting site based on surveys of manufacturers and downstream users in the ultra-hard tool industry, it was found that in 2009, the global market share of composite superhard tool material market Several companies are all foreign companies, including Element Six (30%), DI (20%), Sumitomo (18%), Korea (9%), MegaDiamond (4.5%), and TomeiDiamond (4.5). %), Dennistools (4%), several companies accounted for 90% of the market. It can be said that China's super-hard tools are still in the initial stage, and there are some problems that restrict the rapid expansion of cutting tool companies, mainly in the following points. 1. Domestic PCD, PCBN material tool material uniformity is poor, and its tool quality is not stable. 2. The domestic superhard tool sharpening manufacturing equipment technology is backward, and it is still unable to provide tool sharpening machine tools that are equivalent to foreign companies. 3. China's ultra-hard tools have not yet formed a standardized, serialized, resulting in poor product quality consistency. 4. The basic research on application of superhard tools is not deep enough, and it is not systematic enough to correctly guide the downstream enterprises to apply properly. 5. China's super-hard tool also has a series of problems such as the connection and clamping method with the machine tool, the blade clamping mechanism, the tool material and structure, the tool clamping measures in the high-speed spindle, and the dynamic balance of the rotary tool. 6. The high-precision and complex structure of super-hard tool design and manufacturing technology is not enough, such as superhard cutting tools for processing automotive, aerospace key parts Chinese companies can not manufacture.
