Milling with  Ceramic End Mills

As “industrial teeth”, cutting tools are critical in manufacturing. Difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel alloys demand high-performance cutting materials and geometries for efficient, reliable machining—where ceramic cutting materials excel.
In aerospace, metallurgy, oil and gas sectors, performance requirements drive the use of heat-resistant nickel-based alloys. Their properties (heat resistance, work hardening, high ductility, carbide formation tendency, and strong adhesion to cutting edges) impose strict demands on milling tools. We provide brazed  ceramic end mills with controllable microstructures and significantly improved reliability, meeting needs for high temperature resistance and reliability while ensuring “excellent performance, affordability, and high efficiency”.

Ceramic for Milling – Core Advantages

The concept of economical cutting is based on adopting the highest possible cutting parameters to achieve a high metal removal rate.
This also means that most of the generated heat is carried away by the chips, thus not affecting the workpiece itself.

At temperatures above 800°C, tungsten carbide loses properties such as hot hardness and wear resistance. Similarly, due to evolution in high-temperature environments and high cutting forces at the cutting edge, more chemical reactions and diffusion processes occur inside tungsten carbide, thereby accelerating wear.
Cutting ceramics are not affected by these factors and maintain their strength, wear resistance, and toughness even at high temperatures.
Higher cutting parameters enable larger cutting depths, higher feed rates, and cutting speeds while ensuring good tool life. Solid ceramic end mills thus improve the economic efficiency and process reliability when machining nickel-based alloys.
