As a professional manufacturer of CNC round nose milling cutters, Hongjian Tools has always been a quality assurance manufacturer for this category of products in the industry. In order to better serve our customers, we will start from some basic knowledge and introduce some basic theories of CNC round nose milling cutters to everyone. The first thing to talk about is what types of CNC milling cutters can be distinguished based on materials.

Hard alloy milling cutter

As is well known, tool materials are the fundamental factor determining the cutting performance of cutting tools, and have a significant impact on machining efficiency, quality, cost, and tool durability. Milling cutters made of hard alloy materials are made by powder metallurgy process using metal carbides, tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, and cobalt based metal binders.

Steel milling cutter

Steel milling cutter is also a tool with a wide range of applications, because this product has good edge strength and toughness, strong vibration resistance, and can be used to manufacture cutting tools with average cutting speed. For machine tools with poor rigidity, high-speed steel milling cutter can still be used for smooth cutting.
