Carbide Milling Inserts

• Understanding of workpiece material, machine model and process status.

• Confirm machining type. (face milling, square shoulder milling, profiling milling, slot milling.)

• Determine to use solid end mill or indexable milling inserts.

• Determine the interface and size of the milling tools.

• Determine inserts type.

• PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition): Offers excellent wear resistance and is suitable for high-speed applications, enhancing tool longevity and performance.

• CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): Provides a thicker coating, making it ideal for heavy-duty milling by offering superior protection against wear and thermal damage.

• Multi-layer Coatings: Combine the benefits of various coatings to enhance overall performance and tool life, providing a balanced solution for diverse milling applications.

Turning Inserts:

• Application: Turning inserts are primarily used in lathe operations to create rotational parts. These parts are typically cylindrical or conical in shape.

• Cutting Forces: Turning inserts are built to withstand the radial and axial forces encountered during the turning process.

• Material Removal: Turning is generally used for removing material from the outer diameter of a workpiece, although internal turning (boring) is also common.

• Surface Finish: Turning inserts can achieve high-quality surface finishes, especially when used in finishing operations.

  
  

Milling Inserts:

• Application: Milling inserts are used in milling machines to create complex 3D parts. These parts can have various shapes, including flat surfaces, slots, pockets, and contours.

• Cutting Forces: Milling inserts must withstand varying cutting forces due to the interrupted nature of the milling process.

• Material Removal: Milling is versatile and can remove material from multiple surfaces of a workpiece, including the top, sides, and bottom.

• Surface Finish: Milling inserts can achieve good surface finishes, but the quality may vary depending on the milling operation and cutting parameters.
