Definition of Cermet Milling Cutters?

Cermet milling cutters are cutting tools used in milling machines, which are made of a ceramic-metal composite material known as cermet. Cermet is a composite of ceramic and metallic materials, designed to provide both the hardness and wear resistance of ceramics, as well as the toughness and heat resistance of metals. Cermet milling cutters are used for cutting a variety of materials, including steel, cast iron, and titanium, and are favored for their long tool life and high cutting speeds. They are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries.

 

With the rapid development of milling cutters from 1783 to today, milling cutters of various materials have appeared. From high-speed steel to the current mainstream carbide and ceramics, new materials have joined the industry, that is, cermets.

Although the composition of cermets is ostensibly more complex than conventional carbide alloys, as a tool material it has specific properties that offer many advantages in finishing operations. One is that the cutting edge has a re-grinding effect when the cutting edge wear is uniform; the other is chemical performance stability; moreover, the no-penetration effect on the insert and the transfer of material from other parts of the tool are negligible.

Features
Cermet Cutting Tools are tougher than ceramic materials, more wear-resistant and cut faster than cemented carbide. For high-speed finishing of mild steel, carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel;

Excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance, excellent thermal conductivity is the best choice for steel processing. Good heat resistance and wear resistance, good hardness at high temperature, suitable for dry processing;

The hardness of cermet cutting tools is higher than that of sintered cemented carbide materials. Compared with cemented carbide, it has a lower affinity with ferrous metals to be processed under high temperature conditions, and can obtain better surface finish. It is possible to process from low speed to high speed;

In the process of high-speed finishing, the tool life is long, the chemical stability is good, it is not easy to chemically react with the workpiece, and the performance is stable;

Compared with coated cemented carbide, it is more suitable for light cutting (finishing), and under the same cutting conditions, stronger wear resistance and surface accuracy can be obtained.

Based on the above characteristics, the cermet milling cutter is suitable for high-speed machining of steel parts, especially die steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and non-ferrous metals, with good wear resistance and low workpiece roughness.

We choose the appropriate milling cutter for the machine tool, which can quickly improve the processing efficiency and production capacity of CNC machining.
