Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a face milling process for aluminum alloys, non-ferrous metals and plastic parts, specifically a high-rigidity and high-efficiency PCD face milling cutter, belonging to the technical field of face milling processes for aluminum alloys, non-ferrous metals and plastic parts. Background Technology
[0002] PCD face milling cutters are superhard cutting tools with polycrystalline diamond as the cutting edge. They are made by welding PCD composite sheets to cemented carbide or high-speed steel cutter bodies and are specifically designed for milling planes, steps, grooves and other machining scenarios. Compared with traditional cutting tools, their core advantage lies in utilizing the high hardness and wear resistance of diamond to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision machining, and they are especially suitable for cutting non-ferrous metals, non-metals and high-hardness materials.
[0003] However, most existing PCD face milling cutters have various problems. For example, the PCD face milling cutter disclosed in announcement number CN208758696U, although it solves the problem of accessories being thrown off the tool center due to the high centrifugal force generated by the PCD tool at high spindle speeds, avoids or reduces risks from a design perspective, and designs excellent grooves from a mechanical perspective to generate reaction forces to offset or counteract centrifugal forces, still suffers from problems in this technical solution and most current PCD face milling cutters, such as: 1. Traditional carbide face milling cutters are prone to wear, have short lifespans, and low machining efficiency when machining high-hardness materials; 2. Existing PCD milling cutters mostly use welded insert structures, which lack rigidity, are prone to vibration, and affect the quality of the machined surface; 3. Poor heat dissipation performance of the cutter body, which easily leads to a decrease in accuracy due to thermal deformation during high-speed cutting. Utility Model Content
