An article about the importance of end mill coating
In cutting process, the tool performance has a decisive influence on cutting efficiency, accuracy, and surface quality. There are always contradictions between the two key indicators of the performance of carbide tools-hardness and strength. Materials with high hardness have low strength, and increased strength is often at the expense of reduced hardness.
In order to solve this contradiction existing in cemented carbide materials and better improve the cutting performance of tools, a more effective method is to apply various coating techniques to coat one or more layers hardness, high wear resistance material.
Coated tools have the characteristics of high surface hardness, good wear resistance, stable chemical performance, heat and oxidation resistance, small friction coefficient and low thermal conductivity. The cutting life can be increased by more than 3 to 5 times compared with uncoated tools to improve cutting The speed is 20%~70%, the machining accuracy is improved by 0.5~1 level, and the tool consumption cost is reduced by 20%~50%.
Coated tools have the following characteristics:
(1) The surface coating has the characteristics of strong wear resistance, high hardness and high temperature resistance.
(2) Coated cutting tools have good comprehensive performance, which also makes the versatility of coated cutting tools further improved, enabling them to have a wider range of applications.
(3) With the rapid development of science and technology, coating technology has also been developed, the oxidation resistance and high temperature resistance of coated tools will become more prominent, complete high-speed cutting, and improve the cutting efficiency.
For end mill coating, which has several advantages as follows:
From this article, you can see how the coating affects the end mill performance. Tool coating can improve the cutting performance of the tool, at the same time can improve the processing quality and reduce costs. Therefore, in the future, the research on tool coating technology should be strengthened so that it can better serve the machining process.
