SDF-P Series Tungsten Carbide No-Pilot Hole Thread Milling Cutter – DLC Coating for Aluminum

1. Material and Hardness:
   • This milling cutter is made from high-quality tungsten carbide, ensuring exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Tungsten carbide maintains excellent performance under high-intensity and high-speed cutting conditions, making it suitable for demanding machining environments. The high hardness and wear resistance of the material ensure that the tool retains its cutting performance even after prolonged use.
2. Design Features:
   • No-Pilot Hole Design: This milling cutter does not require a pre-drilled pilot hole, allowing it to complete both the pilot hole and thread milling in a single operation. This design simplifies the machining process, reduces tool changes, and improves production efficiency.
   • Multi-Flute Structure: The tool features a multi-flute design, where each flute is responsible for cutting a portion of the thread. Through multiple passes, the entire thread is gradually completed, ensuring uniformity and consistency.
   • Helical Flutes: The cutting edges are designed in a helical shape to accommodate the helical feed during machining. The helical flutes ensure smooth chip evacuation and reduce cutting resistance.
   • Optimized Geometry: The geometry of the milling cutter is optimized to ensure efficient chip evacuation and minimal cutting resistance. This not only enhances cutting efficiency but also reduces wear on both the tool and the workpiece.
3. Coating Technology:
   • DLC Coating: The surface is coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, which is specifically designed for aluminum machining. DLC coating provides high hardness, low friction, and excellent anti-adhesion properties, significantly enhancing the cutting force and tool life. The DLC coating also effectively reduces cutting temperatures, minimizing thermal deformation of the tool and workpiece, and improving machining quality and tool life.
4. Application Range:
   • Suitable Materials: Particularly well-suited for machining soft metals such as aluminum alloys and copper alloys. These materials are widely used in industries such as mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive, where high efficiency and surface quality are critical.
   • Industry Applications: Widely used in mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and other fields, especially in applications requiring high-efficiency machining and high-quality surface finishes.
5. Function and Performance:
   • High Efficiency: The no-pilot hole design and multi-flute structure allow the milling cutter to perform multiple cutting operations in a single pass, significantly improving cutting efficiency. This design not only reduces machining time but also enhances the quality of the finished product.
   • Long Life: The combination of high-quality tungsten carbide material and advanced DLC coating significantly extends the tool’s lifespan. This reduces the frequency of tool changes, lowers production costs, and improves overall productivity.
   • High Precision: Strict manufacturing processes ensure the geometric accuracy and consistency of the milling cutter, meeting high-precision machining requirements. Whether for roughing or finishing, it provides consistent and reliable results.
   • Smooth Cutting: The optimized geometry and low-friction coating ensure a smooth and consistent cutting process, reducing vibration and deformation, and improving machining precision and surface quality.
6. Application Scenarios:
   • Mechanical Manufacturing: Suitable for threading various mechanical parts such as valves, fittings, and other critical components. These parts require high precision and reliable connection performance to ensure the safety and stable operation of equipment.
   • Aerospace: In the aerospace industry, the milling cutter can be used for machining aluminum and copper alloys, meeting the requirements for high precision and reliability. For example, engine components, structural parts, etc.
   • Automotive Manufacturing: Suitable for threading automotive components such as engine blocks and transmission housings, where the quality and precision of the threads are critical.
   • Electronics Industry: Suitable for machining precision parts in electronic devices, such as heat sinks and connectors, which often require high precision and smooth surfaces.
