Technology

Direct Milling of Hardened Steel PD613 / 60HRC MHDH445/645 / Square End Mill for Hardened Steel

Work size: 120×80(mm)

Material: PD613 60HRC
Cutting Time: 1hr 31min

By adopting MUGEN-COATING PREMIUM, MHDH445/645 provides stable milling to hardened steels.

Tool

Comment

Approached the central circle part by helical processing and developed it by lateral processing, milling deflection is under 3 μm.
Both end slots are processed with MHDH445 φ3. Whole process of direct milling to block of hardened steel was finished in 1 hour 31 minutes.
