Description
Product Overview
This carbide ball nose end mill is designed for cavity machining,
curved surfaces, inclined features, transition profiles and
three-dimensional contour machining of titanium alloy components.
It combines an ultra-fine carbide substrate, 12% cobalt content,
HSR118 high-temperature anti-adhesion coating, an arc-formed
U-shaped flute, an 8° positive rake angle, a 43° helix and
87°/93° unequal cutting geometry to improve chip evacuation,
reduce cutting resistance and maintain stable surface machining.
Recommended Machining Applications
The full-radius ball nose profile provides continuous cutting
contact during titanium alloy cavity, curved-surface and
three-dimensional profile machining.
Cavity Machining
Suitable for titanium alloy cavities, recessed areas
and internal profiles with continuously changing
cutting engagement.
Curved-Surface Milling
Designed for free-form surfaces, rounded profiles
and complex titanium component geometries.
Inclined-Surface Machining
Supports sloped surfaces and transition features
where the effective cutting position changes
continuously along the toolpath.
3D Contour Machining
Suitable for controlled semi-finishing and finishing
of three-dimensional titanium profiles and detailed
surface features.
Designed for Titanium Alloy Machining Challenges
Titanium alloys generate concentrated cutting heat, strong
material adhesion and changing cutting loads. The coating,
flute profile and cutting geometry are designed to maintain
stable chip flow and reduce built-up edge.
Chip and Heat Control
- U-shaped flute provides increased chip capacity
- Arc-formed groove supports smoother chip movement
- 43° helix improves chip evacuation
- 8° positive rake reduces cutting resistance
- Efficient evacuation helps remove cutting heat
- Suitable for controlled semi-finishing
Adhesion and Surface Stability
- HSR118 coating helps reduce titanium adhesion
- High hot hardness supports elevated cutting temperatures
- Unequal geometry helps suppress repeated vibration
- Precision ball profile supports consistent contours
- Controlled edge preparation improves edge uniformity
- Low runout and rigid toolholding are recommended
Ball Nose Geometry and Cutting Performance
The carbide substrate, HSR118 coating, arc-formed flute,
precision ball radius and controlled edge preparation work
together to support stable titanium contour machining.
Ultra-Fine Carbide Substrate
Ultra-fine carbide powder with a grain size below
0.6 μm supports cutting-edge strength, wear resistance
and consistent ball nose geometry.
12% Cobalt Content
A 12% cobalt content provides a balance of carbide
toughness, cutting-edge strength and impact resistance
during changing titanium cutting contact.
HSR118 High-Temperature Coating
The HSR118 coating provides high hot hardness and
stable wear resistance at operating temperatures
up to approximately 1200°C.
Anti-Adhesion Surface Performance
The coating is designed to reduce material affinity
with titanium, helping limit adhesion, built-up edge
and unstable cutting at elevated temperatures.
Full-Radius Ball Nose Profile
The full-radius cutting profile provides continuous
contact during cavity, curved-surface, inclined-surface
and three-dimensional contour machining.
Arc-Formed Flute Design
The arc-shaped flute helps distribute cutting loads
and support stable chip flow during difficult titanium
alloy surface machining.
U-Shaped Flute Profile
The U-shaped flute provides increased chip capacity
and supports efficient chip evacuation from cavities
and complex surface features.
8° Positive Rake Angle
The positive rake geometry supports cleaner cutting
and helps reduce cutting resistance, rubbing and
localized heat generation.
43° Helix Geometry
The 43° helix supports smooth engagement, stable
chip movement and controlled cutting forces during
curved-surface and cavity machining.
87° / 93° Unequal Cutting Geometry
The unequal cutting division interrupts repeated
cutting forces, helping suppress vibration and
improve stability during contour machining.
Ball Radius Accuracy Within 3 μm
Precision grinding and profile inspection help control
the ball radius within 3 μm for repeatable cavities,
curved surfaces and three-dimensional contours.
Fluid-Blasting Edge Preparation
Fluid blasting helps reduce microscopic burrs and
stabilize the cutting edge, supporting smoother
cutting and improved workpiece surface quality.
Automated Edge Polishing
Automated rubber-bonded diamond polishing helps
maintain consistent preparation across the cutting
edges, with the value controlled within ±3 μm.
Walter Five-Axis Grinding
Walter five-axis precision grinding supports
cutting-edge sharpness, ball-profile accuracy
and repeatable tool geometry.
HELICHECK PLUS Profile Measurement
Walter HELICHECK PLUS profile measurement supports
accurate inspection of the ball radius, tool dimensions
and cutting geometry.
150× and 300× Inspection
150× optical inspection and 300× high-definition
appearance inspection help verify cutting edges,
coating condition and surface quality.
