6. Product Series Highlights (As Provided)
Below is a polished, customer‑friendly summary of the series and features you listed. Feel free to tailor the exact specs to your current catalog.
PM Series — Micro‑Machining & Hard Materials
Use cases:
- Micro‑scale machining; steels and cast irons up to ~62 HRC.
- Reinforced cutting edge for higher cutting speeds and feed rates.
- Geometries include ball nose, end mills, and torus mills; Ø 0.3–20.0 mm.
TM Series — Superalloys (Ti/Ni/Co)
Use cases:
- Roughing and finishing of titanium, nickel‑ and cobalt‑based superalloys.
- Special grinding for edge stability in demanding cuts.
- Latest coatings for thermal stability and wear resistance; high‑conductivity substrate.
- TM multi series with up to 9 cutting edges for high output; ball nose and torus options; Ø 6.0–25.0 mm.
QCH Series — Indexable Solid‑Carbide Heads
- Screw‑on heads for steels, cast irons, and stainless steels.
- High repeatability and concentricity (≈0.02 mm) via robust thread connection.
- Multiple shank lengths/forms for maximum flexibility; recyclable, sustainable shanks.
- Head types include ball nose, end mill, and torus; Ø 12–32 mm.
XM Chip Breaker — Stable Chip Control at High Speeds
- Wear‑resistant geometry supporting high‑speed cutting with dependable output.
- Broad applicability across ‘P’ materials; clear markings for use case guidance.
- Effective chip evacuation at both low and high feeds; soft‑cut action suits low‑power spindles.
7. CNC Insert Grades (Selected Examples)
- YBC252 (CVD, P20–P35): Versatile steel turning from medium to roughing; strong, thick multi‑layer coating on tough substrate for edge strength and deformation resistance.
- YCD011 (PCD): Medium‑grained PCD for non‑ferrous metals (Al, Cu, Mg) and composites; excellent wear resistance and toughness for high‑speed machining.
- YBM151 (CVD on stainless): TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN multi‑layer concept offering resistance to diffusion wear and plastic deformation; smooth, low‑friction surface suppresses built‑up edge.
- YBM153 (stainless finishing/semi‑finishing): High cutting efficiency and stable performance across similar conditions; common in food‑processing, general machinery, and hydraulic components.
- YBD252 (cast iron milling): Balanced wear resistance and toughness via strong substrate + medium‑thick Al₂O₃ and thick TiCN; suitable for wet milling including nodular cast iron.
- YBG205 (PVD for stainless finishing): Superfine TiAlN nano‑coating with rare elements for heat and wear resistance; excellent surface finish potential.
8. Applications of Tungsten‑Carbide End Mills
For Aluminum
- DLC or similar low‑friction coatings reduce built‑up edge and improve chip evacuation. Typical 3‑flute designs in ~10% Co substrates are favored for higher MRR and surface finish.
For Steel
- Use variable‑pitch/unequal flute designs to reduce chatter; moderate cutting speed for stainless due to heat dissipation limits.
For Titanium
- Sharp, high‑edge‑quality geometries minimize cutting forces; focus on heat management due to low thermal conductivity and elastic modulus.
