How to maintain tungsten steel milling cutter

Tungsten steel milling cutter is a cutting tool commonly used in machining, it is made of tungsten steel material, has excellent wear resistance and hardness, can be used to process metal materials, can also be used to process wood, rubber and plastic and other materials. In order to extend the service life of tungsten steel milling cutter and maintain its excellent processing effect, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and maintenance. Below we will introduce some maintenance methods of tungsten steel mills:

1. Clean it

After each use of tungsten steel milling cutter, it is necessary to clean the residue on its surface, including chips, oil and cutting fluid, so as to prevent residues from blocking the cutting edge of the tool and affecting the cutting effect. In order to achieve a clean cleaning effect, you can use detergents, cleaning agents and other chemicals, you can also soak the tungsten steel milling cutter in water, and then use a soft brush or air pump to blow out the impurities on its surface.

2. Maintain the surface of the tool

After cleaning the tungsten steel milling cutter, it is necessary to coat its surface with a layer of anti-rust lubricating oil to protect the cutting tool from oxidative corrosion. The anti-rust lubricating oil on the surface of the tool can be coated with rust engraving agent, oil, lubricating oil and other chemical agents, and can also be coated with anti-corrosion wax with lighter color.

3. Add oil before use

Before using tungsten steel milling cutter, it is necessary to evenly coat its surface with a layer of cutting fluid, which can reduce the friction of the tool and prevent the cutting surface from sticking and excessive heat. The type of cutting fluid should be determined according to the different processing materials, such as tungsten carbide cutting oil can be used when processing iron materials, and micro-oil cutting fluid can be used when processing aluminum.

4. Keep the knife sharp

The edge of a tungsten steel mill is easily blunted by friction and wear, so it should be trimmed regularly with a grinding wheel grinder. When sharpening the knife, attention should be paid to maintaining the Angle and speed of the grinding wheel to ensure that the cutting Angle and radius of the knife edge meet the requirements. In addition, the service life of the tool is also related to the hardness and processing speed of the processed material, and generally needs to be replaced in about 800 hours of use.

5. Keep it properly

When the tungsten steel mill needs to be temporarily used, it should be stored in a dry, out of direct sunlight. Before storage, the tool should be cleaned and coated with a layer of anti-rust lubricant or wax to prevent rust and damage. In addition, do not place the tool on tungsten steel, cast iron and other materials with high hardness, so as to avoid wear of the knife edge.
