Here is the professional English translation of the stainless steel milling cutter selection guide:

Key Technology Selection for Stainless Steel Milling Tools‌

I. Material Properties & Machining Challenges‌

Machining Characteristics of Stainless Steel‌

Pronounced work hardening tendency (Austenitic SS: hardening layer 0.1-0.3mm)

Low thermal conductivity (1/3 of carbon steel)

Severe adhesion tendency (worsens above 600°C)

Typical Failure Modes‌

Crater wear (rake face)

Edge chipping from built-up edge

Groove wear (flank face)

II. Tool Material Selection‌

Carbide Cermet CBN PCD

Suitable HRC‌ ≤45 30-50 ≥45 ≤35

Cutting Speed (m/min)‌ 60-120 150-300 80-200 200-400

Life Ratio‌ 1x 2-3x 4-5x 6-8x

III. Geometric Parameter Optimization‌

Edge Design‌

Large rake angle (12°-15°) to reduce cutting force

Enhanced edge preparation (ER chipbreaker design)

Asymmetric pitch structure (vibration suppression)

Coating Selection Priority‌

① AlTiN-Saturn (900°C resistant)

② TiSiN nanocomposite coating

③ DLC coating (mirror finishing)

IV. Process Parameter Recommendations‌

Cutting Parameters‌

Roughing: ap=0.3D, ae=0.7D, Vc=60-80m/min

Finishing: ap=0.1D, ae=0.3D, Vc=100-150m/min

Cooling Solutions‌

High-pressure internal coolant (≥7MPa)

Mist cooling (cutting oil viscosity: 8-10cSt)

Cryogenic air (-10°C) for thin-wall parts

V. Typical Application Cases‌

Chemical Flange Sealing Face Machining‌

Tool: φ16mm 4-flute corner radius end mill

Parameters: n=1800rpm, fz=0.08mm/z

Tool life: 35m per cutting edge

Medical Implant Slot Machining‌

Tool: φ3mm ultrafine-grain carbide end mill

Surface roughness: Ra 0.2μm
