SDF-G Series Solid Tungsten Carbide 4-Flute General-Purpose End Mill – ALCRONA Coating HRC45°

1. Material and Hardness: The milling cutter is made from solid tungsten carbide, ensuring high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Tungsten carbide maintains stable performance under high-intensity and high-speed cutting conditions, making it suitable for demanding machining environments. This material not only extends the tool’s lifespan but also ensures consistent cutting performance over extended use.
2. Design Features:
   • Four-Flute Structure: Each flute handles a portion of the cutting work, gradually completing the machining process to ensure efficient material removal and good surface quality. The four-flute design increases cutting speed and feed rate while reducing vibration and deformation, enhancing machining accuracy.
   • Optimized Geometry: The geometry of the milling cutter is optimized to ensure efficient chip evacuation and minimal cutting resistance. This improves cutting efficiency and reduces wear on both the tool and the workpiece, extending tool life.
3. Coating Technology:
   • ALCRONA Coating: The surface is coated with ALCRONA coating, providing high hardness, low friction, and superior thermal stability, significantly enhancing cutting force and tool life. The ALCRONA coating effectively reduces cutting temperatures, minimizes thermal deformation, and improves machining quality and tool life. Additionally, the coating offers excellent lubrication properties, further reducing cutting resistance.
4. Suitable Materials:
   • Pre-Heat Treatment Steel Processing: Designed for HRC45°, this milling cutter is particularly suitable for pre-heat treatment machining of steels, handling initial forming requirements for various types of steel. This hardness range requires tools with high toughness and wear resistance, which this end mill fully meets.
   • Non-Ferrous Materials: Widely applicable for machining non-ferrous materials such as aluminum alloys, copper alloys, and other soft metals, as well as non-metallic materials like plastics, demonstrating excellent versatility.
5. Processing Precision:
   • Roughing and Semi-Finishing: This milling cutter is specifically designed for roughing and semi-finishing operations, ideal for applications requiring rapid material removal and acceptable surface quality. It is not intended for very high-precision machining tasks but excels in efficiently removing large amounts of material. The optimized geometry and four-flute design ensure high performance and stability during roughing and semi-finishing operations.
6. Specifications and Models:
   • Comprehensive Range of Specifications: Available in various sizes and shapes to meet different machining needs. Whether for roughing or semi-finishing, suitable models can be found to ensure flexibility and efficiency in the machining process. The wide range of specifications makes this milling cutter adaptable to diverse industry requirements.
7. Application Fields:
   • Mechanical Manufacturing: Suitable for roughing and semi-finishing of various mechanical parts such as valve bodies, joints, and other critical components. These parts require efficient material removal and acceptable surface quality to ensure smooth subsequent processes.
   • Aerospace: In the aerospace industry, this milling cutter can be used for roughing and semi-finishing of high-precision and complex-shaped components, meeting strict precision and reliability requirements. For example, engine components and structural parts.
   • Automotive Manufacturing: Suitable for roughing and semi-finishing of automotive components such as engine blocks and transmission housings, where processing efficiency and surface quality are crucial.
   • Mold Manufacturing: Suitable for roughing and semi-finishing in mold manufacturing, such as mold cavities and templates. These components require rapid material removal and acceptable surface quality to ensure smooth follow-up finishing processes.
