The High-Precision Half-Inch Aluminum Carbide Rods are specialized blanks engineered for manufacturing end mills that excel in high-speed machining of aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Constructed from ultra-pure tungsten carbide (99.95% WC) with a balanced cobalt content (8%), these rods offer a unique combination of hardness, toughness, and dimensional accuracy, serving as the foundation for precision end mills used in complex contouring and finishing operations.
Optimized Microstructure:
1.5μm grain size provides a balance of wear resistance and impact toughness, ideal for interrupted cuts in aluminum die-castings and composite materials.
Low oxygen content (<100ppm) enhances resistance to thermal cracking during rapid temperature changes in high-speed machining (18,000+ RPM).
Precision Grinding Capability:
Ground to ISO H6 tolerance (±0.002mm diameter), ensuring seamless fit in high-precision tool holders (HSK-E32, BT30) for vibration-free milling.
Electrolytically polished surface (Ra ≤0.05μm) reduces friction and improves coolant flow, critical for maintaining tool stability in deep slotting operations (depth-to-diameter ratio 8:1).
Coating-Ready Surface:
Chemically treated to enhance adhesion of PVD coatings (TiAlN, CrN), which reduce friction by 30% and extend tool life in abrasive aluminum-silicon alloys.
Ideal for end mill manufacturers and aerospace/electronics machining:
Aerospace Aluminum Alloys: Milling complex wing ribs and engine components from 7075-T6 aluminum, achieving tight tolerances (±0.01mm) for flight-critical parts.
Electronic Components: Cutting precision aluminum heat sinks with intricate fin structures, ensuring optimal thermal performance for high-power semiconductors.
Mold & Die: Shaping aluminum master models and prototypes, supporting rapid tooling for plastic injection molds with surface finishes ≤Ra 1.6μm.
Custom Geometry Support: In-house engineering team designs rod profiles (tapered, stepped, hollow) to match your end mill design, reducing material waste by 30%.
Rigorous Quality Control: 100% ultrasonic testing for internal integrity and laser measurement for dimensional accuracy, with a defect rate of <0.05%.
Global Supply Chain: Stocked in North America, Europe, and Asia for 48-hour delivery of standard 12" lengths, with custom lengths (6"-36") available in 10 business days.
