Is it hard to make carbide cutting tools for aluminum alloy?
For Aluminum Alloy in general, very low hardness, ordinary tool steel can be effectively processed. But more wear-resistant hard alloy, the size change in process tool is very small, which resulted in NC machining, all using carbide tools.On the other hand, the tendency of cemented carbide to adhere to aluminum material is lower than that of tool steel, which can effectively improve the surface finishBut hard alloy is more brittle, attention should be paid during use
However, hard alloy is more expensive and it is too hard, and it is also a problem for its own processing, which makes it difficult to make tools with more complicated shapes, such as twist drills, by hard alloy
High speed tool steel is essentially tool steel, but heat resistance is betterHard alloy is made of tungsten carbide, titanium carbide materials such as superhard materials. From the hardness and red hardness, high speed tool steel paima couldn't catch up. Although the name as "alloy" two words, it is actually a kind of metal ceramic.
