Multipurpose Milling Cutters for Titanium and Stainless Steel
June 1, 2013
KSRM multipurpose milling cutters from Kennametal.
Kennametal's new KSRM multipurpose milling cutters are specifically engineered for titanium and stainless steel applications. Their design enables pocketing, profiling, ramping and plunging with up to 1 mm fz. According to Kennametal, KSRM milling cutters are designed to provide consistent performance and excellent metal removal rates for roughing applications requiring the lowest cutting forces.
All KSRM inserts offer up to eight indexable positions for quick insert changes. These inserts were designed with a high positive rake angle and stronger cutting edges for lower cutting forces when machining titanium.
KSRM inserts are available in 12 mm and 16 mm diameters for KSRM face mills and screw-on, Weldon and cylindrical KSRM end mills. These diameters are offered in the company's SGE and ELE insert styles, which are especially designed for titanium applications. SGE inserts are intended for medium and heavy milling tasks, whereas ELE inserts should be used at low cutting forces and to avoid edge build-up.
A 20 mm diameter insert also is available for compatible KSRM face mill models. These inserts are offered in three styles. ELF inserts are designed for low cutting forces to avoid edge build-up. SGF and SHF inserts are for general purpose and heavy-duty roughing applications, respectively.
KSRM tool bodies are offered in a range of internally cooled face mill and end mill styles with pocketing, ramping, plunging and helical interpolation capabilities. All are designed with a high clearance for improved plunging, ramping and chip load capacities. An anti-rotation screw offers stability with higher feed rates and cutting forces. The anti-rotation components also provide eight indexable positions for 12 mm and 16 mm inserts. Face mills utilizing 20 mm inserts are engineered for roughing titanium with large depths of cut through positive geometry inserts. These mills allow six indexable rotations and are used for diameters from 60-200 mm.
