Square End Mills
Flat-bottom slots, pockets and straight walls. Flute space and coolant access are especially important when the cut engages the full tool width.

Titanium End Mill Profiles
Choose the cutting profile for the feature on the part. Cutting length, neck clearance and tool overhang then determine how the cutter reaches it.
Ball Nose End Mills
Curved cavities and three-dimensional contours. The ball tip follows the surface; stepover and contact position determine the remaining scallop.

Corner Radius End Mills
Shoulders, pockets and radiused floor-to-wall transitions. The corner radius follows the part drawing and adds support at the cutting corner.
View Tool Details →Titanium Milling Applications
The operation changes the load on the cutting edge. Tool reach, radial engagement and chip removal need to be considered together.

Cutting Geometry
for Titanium
Titanium retains heat close to the cutting edge and can adhere to the tool. The cutting geometry combines a positive rake with space for chip flow.
8° positive rake
The positive rake provides a sharp cutting action. Edge preparation and the selected engagement still determine the load the edge can carry.
43° helix and curved flutes
The helix and curved flute profile guide chips away from the cutting zone. Sufficient coolant access and chip clearance remain important in pockets.
Chipbreaker options for roughing
Chipbreaker geometry is available for suitable roughing configurations. It is selected for the operation rather than applied to every cutter profile.

Stable engagement helps avoid sudden changes in cutting load. Short tool overhang, controlled runout and coolant reaching the cutting zone are important when selecting a titanium milling setup.
End Mills for Hardened Steel →Manufacturing, Coating and Inspection
Our factory combines CNC tool grinding, edge preparation, coating equipment and profile inspection for carbide end mill production.
Grinding and Edge Preparation
Five-axis CNC grinding forms the flutes and cutting profile. Fluid blasting and automated polishing prepare the cutting edges.
In-House Coating
Our coating equipment supports carbide cutting tool production. Coating specifications follow the selected tool and machining task.
Tool Profile Inspection
HELICHECK PLUS profile measurement, 150× optical inspection and 300× appearance checks support geometry and edge inspection.

Titanium End Mill FAQ
What end mill should I use for titanium?
A solid carbide end mill with titanium-specific geometry is a suitable starting point. ZHY offers square, ball nose and corner radius tools for titanium alloys. The alloy grade, operation, engagement and required reach determine the appropriate configuration.
How does flute count affect titanium milling?
Flute count changes both chip space and the number of cutting edges in contact. Full-width slots place different demands on chip removal than light radial side milling. The appropriate flute count depends on engagement, tool diameter, reach and the machining setup.
Can these tools be used for dynamic milling of titanium?
ZHY supplies configurations for dynamic milling of titanium alloys. Radial engagement, axial depth, tool diameter, reach and chip removal determine the setup. Roughing tools can be supplied with chipbreaker geometry where appropriate.
What coating does ZHY use on its titanium end mills?
ZHY uses HSR118 coating on this titanium alloy range. It is selected for heat and adhesion resistance in combination with the carbide substrate and cutting geometry. The coating name alone does not establish cutting speeds or tool life.
What cutting speed and feed should I use for titanium?
There is no single speed and feed for every titanium end mill. The starting conditions depend on the alloy and material condition, tool diameter, flute count, engagement, reach, machine rigidity and coolant. These details are needed for an application-specific recommendation.
Can ZHY make reduced-neck or long-reach end mills for titanium?
Yes. ZHY can manufacture reduced-neck and custom-reach end mills for titanium, along with custom diameters, cutting lengths and corner radii. A drawing showing feature depth and holder clearance helps establish the shortest practical tool reach.
What information is needed for a titanium end mill quotation?
Provide the cutter profile, diameter, flute count, cutting length, shank, overall length and quantity. Include the titanium grade, material condition, operation and any corner-radius or neck-clearance dimensions. Customer marking and packaging can be specified with the order.
