The right tool for the job has been a formula for success for centuries. This is especially true in the 21st century when it comes to manufacturing precision components for the aerospace industries and other highly demanding sectors. The use of a solid carbide end mill has been a potent aid to machinists for years. This tool allows for the manufacturing and engineering of many essential items of hardware and structural components used in products throughout the world.
At Kennametal, we offer a wide selection of carbide end mills that deliver excellent MRR across many applications and materials. Our end mills enable skilled machinists to rough and finish both established and customized items that will perform at the highest levels. Operators can purchase these precision tools for milling, ramping, roughing, and other applications while choosing for cutting diameter and length, connection style, and configuration style.
Superb Cutting of Specific Materials
According to information from Science Notes, the properties of metals often make certain types ideal for high-performance products. Some common characteristics of metals include the following:
- Malleability
- Ductility
- High melting point
- Good conductors of heat
- Good conductors of electricity
- High-density values
The manufacturing of metals or alloys into usable forms requires advanced machining techniques and precision tools. A solid carbide drill bit is one such essential tool. These instruments enable machinists to work with durable materials such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Though some bits work with specific metals most work with multiple materials and enable fast metal removal rates for optimal efficiency.
At Kennametal, we provide a large selection of drill bits that specialize in applications ranging from working with difficult-to-drill materials to flat bottom applications to deep hole drills. Specifications for the drill bits include drill type, point angle, grade of cutting tool, internal cooling capability, and other parameters.
Perform in the Most Demanding Environments
The end result needs to be a component that holds up to intense stress, be it in the form of temperature extremes or some form of physical strain such as vibrating or weight bearing. The product must also be fashioned to fit perfectly, meaning the machinist must work in microns. Products for industries such as energy, earthworks, construction, mining and transportation require sophisticated engineering, durable materials and precision machining. This can only come from the most advanced drilling instruments.
In the realm of aerospace tooling, requirements are especially high, demanding tools that can fashion titanium, aluminum, hard alloys, and more into exceptional products. Whether the shop is working on hardware for landing gear, structural components, casings, and forgings, the tools of the trade must be up to the challenge. The best tools also allow for better processes and enhanced efficiency while meeting the needs of industry and society.
Kennametal is committed to finding solutions for demanding industries through the availability of superior machining tools. Our team offers wide-ranging support for clients looking to purchase the best products for their needs.
