Key factors when choosing an end mill for aluminum
As the aluminum hardness is not so high ,so when choosing a high performance end mill for aluminum is not just related to the end cutter’s hardness. The real challenge is chip evacuation, anti-galling performance, and surface finish consistency
For most aluminum machining, 2-flute or 3-flute carbide end mill are the best starting point because they provide more space for chip flow. MSU carbide end mills for aluminum (MAS Series) are designed specially, our aluminum end mills are made by three unequal pitch and helix angle, are suitable for medium and high speed machining under various working conditions, have significant advantages in dynamic milling.
Sharp cutting edges and edge processing technology effectively prevent to form the built-up edge.
The unique shape of the chip groove can exhibit excellent performance in groove and cavity processing.
