Carbide end mills with three flutes are an ideal choice for machining aluminum. This type of end mill features three cutting edges which provide a good stability between material removal effectiveness and surface finish. It is important to consider several factors when selecting a carbide end mill for aluminum.
One of the most important characteristics to look at is the material. Carbide end mills are fabricated from a solid carbide barbarous alloy which is both durable and thermally resistant. As such, it can withstand higher cutting temperatures, making it perfect for aluminum machining.
The helix angle of the end mill is also an important factor to consider. The helix angle describes the angle at which the flutes wrap around the tool. Higher angles (around 45 degrees) are beneficial for aluminum machining as they help evacuate chips and improve surface finish by preventing chip re-cutting.
The diameter and length of the end mill should also be taken into consideration. Usually, smaller diameters are used for finer details and smaller features, while larger diameters are more suitable for heavy material removal and roughing. The specific diameter and length depend on the desired depth of cut and the features you need to machine.
Certain end mills can also have coatings (such as TiCN or TiAlN) that offer higher lubricity and heat resistance, thus extending their lifespan. It is advisable to consult with tooling suppliers or manufacturers to receive recommendations based on your machining needs.
When selecting end mills for aluminum machining, one important factor to take into consideration is the number of flutes. This can have a major impact on the characteristics of the machined part, as well as the success of the machining process.
For material removal rate (MRR), end mills with fewer flutes are usually recommended. This is because larger chip spaces between the flutes increase the efficiency of chip evacuation, leading to higher MRR and making two-flute end mills popular for roughing operations where quick material removal is desired.
The number of flutes also affects the surface finish of the machined aluminum part. Generally, more flutes leads to a smoother surface finish, as the smaller chip spaces between flutes produce smaller chips that reduce the chances of leaving visible tool marks on the part.
Moreover, the number of flutes also influences the rigidity and stability of the end mill during machining. More flutes distribute cutting forces more evenly, improving stability and reducing chances of chatter or vibration - particularly important in finishing operations with demanding precision and surface quality.
Finally, chip evacuation is impacted by the number of flutes. End mills with fewer flutes usually have bigger chip spaces, better evacuating chips during aluminum machining and avoiding chip re-cutting or buildup.
Overall, the number of flutes necessary for your aluminum machining operation depends on the MRR, surface finish requirements, and stability. However, two-flute end mills are generally used for roughing or high material removal rate applications, while three or more flutes are often preferred for finishing operations which require a smoother surface finish and improved stability.
