Is the life of tungsten steel milling cutter long

Tungsten steel milling cutter is a common cutting tool, which has the advantages of high hardness, good wear resistance and strong corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in industrial production and processing. About the life of tungsten steel milling cutter, many people have different views and experience, the following will be discussed from the tungsten steel milling cutter material, use environment, use mode, etc., in order to provide you with some reference and help.

1. Tungsten steel milling cutter material

Tungsten steel milling cutter is a kind of alloy material composed of tungsten, cobalt, steel and other elements, its hardness is much higher than ordinary high-speed steel or carbon steel tools, in the processing of high-strength materials or high-hardness materials outstanding. However, the hardness and wear resistance of tungsten steel milling cutter is not absolute, and it will also wear and fatigue in use, resulting in poor chips, increased cutting force, and decreased processing efficiency. Therefore, from the material point of view, the life of tungsten steel milling cutter is limited.

2. Use environment

The life of tungsten steel milling cutter is also affected by the use of the environment, such as the workpiece material, lubricants and coolants during processing. If the hardness of the workpiece material is higher, the tool will be subjected to greater wear and impact, thereby shortening the life; If the lubrication conditions are not good, the surface of the tool is easy to generate deposits or adhesives, affecting the cutting quality and life. Therefore, when choosing tools and lubricants, it is necessary to make comprehensive consideration according to the specific situation to ensure the life and processing effect of the tool.

3. Way of use

The correct use of tungsten steel milling cutter is also an important factor to extend its life. Specifically, attention should be paid to the following aspects:

(1) Set cutting parameters reasonably. Parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth should be comprehensively considered according to workpiece material, tool type and processing requirements to avoid excessive wear and premature failure.

(2) Check the tool regularly. Tool wear and damage will affect the processing efficiency and quality, so it is necessary to regularly check the wear of the tool surface, timely replacement and maintenance.

(3) Control the processing temperature. The tool will produce a lot of friction heat during processing, if the processing temperature is too high, it is easy to affect the hardness and performance of the tool, but also cause the deformation of the workpiece and poor surface quality. Therefore, it is necessary to control the processing temperature to avoid excessive thermal damage.

(4) Proper storage and maintenance of tools. The quality and service life of the tool is also related to storage and maintenance, and the tool should be properly stored and maintained to avoid scratches, moisture, heat and other conditions, while paying attention to cleaning and lubrication.

In general, as a high-performance cutting tool, tungsten steel milling cutter has a long service life, but it can not avoid wear and failure. Therefore, when using tungsten steel milling cutter, it is necessary to pay attention to details and maintenance, and make reasonable selection and adjustment according to the specific situation. Only by strengthening management and control, can we make full use of the advantages of tungsten steel milling cutter and improve production efficiency and output quality.
