Ceramic Milling Cutters

Walter has introduced the walter prototyp ceramic milling cutters mc275 mc075.

Ceramic milling cutters.

Machining with ceramic end mills at high temperatures can affect the outermost layer of the machined material therefore a final. However practical use shows that milling with carbide inserts remains the primary field. The target application is milling hrsas. Applying ceramic cutters is different but it s not alien.

Milling with ceramic cutting materials cbn and cermet has been one of the well engineered machining technologies for many years. The mc275 mc075 walter prototyp ceramic milling cutters have a ceramic head brazed onto a solid carbide shank. Walter usa s mc275 mc075 walter prototyp ceramic milling cutters are designed to increase productivity cutting speeds and metal removal rates in the machining of nickel based alloys. Collet chucks are not suitable.

The toolmaker also offers a design with interchangeable ceramic heads that can be screwed onto a shank. High speed cutting is required to generate the heat needed to soften materials without causing abrasion or other damage. Second recommendation is a precision milling chuck. The tools are engineered for toughness and their combination of carbide and ceramic both shortens machining times and damps vibration.

For many jobs in the 45 to 65 rc hardness range in which grinding was historically the process of choice hard turning and hard milling with ceramic insert cutters are finding increasing acceptance in shops.
