Detailed Introduction of Colorful Single-edge Aluminum Milling

Colorful single-edge aluminum milling cutters (such as colorful aluminum milling cutters) are tools optimized for aluminum alloy processing, with high finish, low friction and efficient chip removal. The following is a detailed introduction to its processing parameters and application scenarios:

1. Processing parameters

Cutting speed (Vc)

The recommended cutting speed range for aluminum alloy processing: 100–4000 m/min, depending on the tool material, coating and machine tool performance.

For example, colorful aluminum milling cutters with DLC coating can adapt to higher speeds (such as 3000–4000 m/min) to reduce friction and heat accumulation710.

Feed rate (Fz)

Recommended feed per tooth: 0.05–0.2 mm/z (depending on tool diameter and processing requirements).

The large rake angle design makes cutting easier and suitable for high feed processing

Deep cutting (Ap)

Roughing: 1–3 mm

Fine processing: 0.1–0.5 mm

Spiral groove design optimizes chip removal and reduces the risk of tool sticking

Tool characteristics

Blade diameter range: common specifications such as D2.0, D3.175, D6.0, etc.

Helix angle: 55° (milling cutter for high-gloss aluminum) or 20° (imported single-edge milling cutter), affecting chip removal and finish

Coating: DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating can reduce friction and improve wear resistance

2. Application scenarios

High-gloss surface processing

Suitable for aluminum alloy mirror processing, such as 3C electronic housing, high-end aluminum decorative parts, etc.

Use polished blade and special coating to reduce burrs and improve surface quality

High-speed engraving and cutting

Suitable for advertising engraving machines, CNC machining centers, processing aluminum plates, aluminum-plastic plates, aluminum curtain walls, etc.

Single-edge large chip removal groove design to avoid aluminum chip clogging

Precision grooving and contour processing

Used for precision milling of aluminum alloy profiles, heat sinks, electronic components, etc.

For example, 3.175mm single-edge milling cutter is suitable for small structure processing

Aerospace and automotive parts

Processing aluminum alloy structural parts, engine parts, etc. requires high precision and low cutting force

3. Advantages summary

Efficient chip removal: optimized spiral groove and polishing treatment reduce tool sticking problems

Long life: cemented carbide (such as tungsten steel) with DLC coating, wear resistance is improved

High finish: suitable for mirror processing, reducing subsequent polishing process
