The durability of NC Spiral Cutter is one of the important indicators to measure its performance, which is directly related to processing efficiency and cost. Its durability is affected by many factors.
First of all, the nature of the processing material has a significant impact on the durability of NC Spiral Cutter. Different materials have different properties such as hardness, strength, toughness and thermal conductivity. For example, when machining harder materials, the milling cutter will wear faster and its durability will decrease. For materials with higher viscosity, built-up edges are likely to occur, which will also affect the cutting performance and durability of the milling cutter. In addition, impurities and inclusions in the material may also cause abnormal wear on the milling cutter.
Secondly, the selection of cutting parameters is crucial. Parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth directly determine the cutting load of the milling cutter. Excessive cutting speed will cause the temperature of the milling cutter to rise sharply and accelerate tool wear; while excessive feed rate and cutting depth will increase the cutting force, leading to an increased risk of milling cutter breakage. Reasonable selection of cutting parameters to match the processing material, tool material and machine tool performance can effectively improve the durability of the milling cutter.
Furthermore, the material and quality of the tool are fundamental factors that affect its durability. High-quality tool materials have high hardness, high wear resistance, good thermal stability and impact resistance. For example, carbide cutting tools show good durability in most machining situations. At the same time, the manufacturing process and precision of the tool will also affect its performance. Precise geometry, sharp edges and good surface quality reduce cutting forces and friction and increase durability.
In addition, cooling and lubrication conditions cannot be ignored. Good cooling and lubrication can reduce cutting temperatures, reduce tool wear and improve durability. Using appropriate cooling methods, such as coolant injection, air cooling, etc., as well as selecting the appropriate cutting fluid, can effectively extend the service life of the milling cutter.
For example, in a machining company, the durability of the NC Spiral Cutter was successfully improved through reasonable selection of tool materials, optimization of cutting parameters, and improvement of cooling and lubrication conditions. When processing high-strength alloy steel, high-performance carbide cutting tools are selected, and the cutting parameters are adjusted according to the material characteristics. At the same time, a high-pressure coolant injection system is used to effectively reduce tool wear and improve processing efficiency and quality.
To sum up, the durability of NC Spiral Cutter is affected by many factors such as processing materials, cutting parameters, tool material and quality, cooling and lubrication conditions, etc. In practical applications, these factors should be comprehensively considered and corresponding measures should be taken to improve the durability of the milling cutter and reduce the processing cost.
