螺旋刃与排屑设计：采用30°-45°螺旋角的螺旋刃结构，配合大容屑槽设计，可快速排出石墨粉尘，避免堵塞导致的加工精度下降。深槽加工时，变螺距刃口设计能分散切削力，降低振动幅度达20%以上。
刀柄与夹持系统：高精度液压刀柄（跳动≤0.003mm）和热缩刀柄（夹持力提升30%）可确保高速旋转（10000r/min以上）时的稳定性，减少加工误差。
规格多样性：涵盖D10-D50刀杆式铣刀（常规加工）、D63-D160刀盘式铣刀（大尺寸板材）及非标定制刀具（如三阶倒角刀、深孔钻头）。
涂层技术：提升耐磨性与寿命
TiAlN涂层：硬度达HV3500，抗氧化温度800℃以上，可降低刀具与石墨间摩擦系数至0.3以下，减少切削热产生。
CrN涂层：具有优异的抗粘附性，能防止石墨粉尘粘结刃口，保持刀具锋利度，尤其适合湿度较高的加工环境。
复合涂层：如TiAlN+CrN多层结构，可同时提升耐磨性和润滑性，刀具寿命较单层涂层延长50%。
加工效率与成本优势：长效耐用与工艺优化
高转速适配性：PCD铣刀支持10000-20000r/min高速切削，加工效率较传统刀具提升3-5倍，适合大批量生产。
超长寿命与成本控制：PCD铣刀寿命为硬质合金的20-50倍，且支持返修换片（成本仅为新刀的30%），长期使用成本降低60%以上。
工艺优化方案：顺铣加工可减少切削力15%，配合高压吹气（0.6MPa）或吸尘装置清除粉尘，进一步延长刀具寿命。
典型应用场景：覆盖高端制造领域
半导体与电子：加工IC封装模具石墨电极，精度可达±0.002mm。
新能源：燃料电池双极板流道加工，表面光洁度Ra0.4μm以下，确保氢气密封性。
航空航天：火箭发动机石墨喷嘴复杂型腔加工，耐受3000℃以上高温。
创新趋势：定制化与智能化升级
非标定制服务：针对复杂结构（如深腔、薄壁）设计专用刀具，例如三阶倒角刀可同步完成多工序加工，效率提升40%。
智能监测集成：部分高端刀具内置磨损传感器，结合机床数据系统实时调整切削参数，避免突发性崩刃。
石墨铣刀通过材料、结构、涂层的协同创新，已成为石墨精密加工的核心工具，尤其在新能源、半导体等高端领域，其技术突破正推动石墨材料应用边界不断拓展。选择时需结合加工精度要求、材料特性及成本预算，优先考虑PCD材质（长效低成本）或超细晶粒硬质合金（通用性强），并搭配高精度刀柄与除尘系统以最大化效能。
Highlights of graphite milling cutters
The core technical highlights and performance advantages of graphite milling cutters
Graphite milling cutters, as key tools for precision processing of graphite, have their technical highlights mainly reflected in material innovation, structural optimization, coating technology and process adaptability, etc. They can effectively address the processing challenges of high hardness, brittleness and easily worn tools of graphite. The following analyzes its core advantages from multiple dimensions:
Tool material: A high-performance choice that balances hardness and toughness
Ultrafine-grained cemented carbide: By refining the grain size (typically ≤1μm), hardness (HRA≥92) and wear resistance are enhanced. A formula with a cobalt content of 6%-10% can balance toughness and reduce the risk of chipping. For instance, when processing precision graphite electrodes, the tool life is 3 to 5 times longer than that of ordinary cemented carbide.
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) : Its hardness can reach over HV10000, and its wear resistance is 50 to 100 times that of cemented carbide. It is particularly suitable for ultra-precision processing of high-purity graphite (such as graphite used in semiconductors), and its surface roughness can be controlled below Ra0.2μm.
Material compatibility: For rough machining, CDW302 mixed particle size PCD (which takes into account both wear resistance and edge strength) is recommended. For fine machining, CDW025 single particle size material is selected (with higher edge quality).
Structural design: Optimize cutting performance and stability
Helical edge and chip removal design: It adopts a helical edge structure with a helical Angle of 30°-45°, combined with a large chip holding groove design, which can quickly discharge graphite dust and avoid the decline in processing accuracy caused by blockage. When processing deep grooves, the variable pitch cutting edge design can disperse the cutting force and reduce the vibration amplitude by more than 20%.
Tool holder and clamping system: High-precision hydraulic tool holders (runout ≤0.003mm) and heat shrink tool holders (clamping force increased by 30%) can ensure stability during high-speed rotation (above 10000r/min), reducing processing errors.
Specification diversity: Covering D10-D50 tool bar type milling cutters (for conventional processing), D63-D160 tool face type milling cutters (for large-sized plates), and non-standard custom tools (such as three-stage chamfering cutters, deep hole drills).
Coating technology: Enhance wear resistance and lifespan
TiAlN coating: Hardness reaches HV3500, oxidation resistance temperature above 800℃, can reduce the friction coefficient between the tool and graphite to below 0.3, and reduce the generation of cutting heat.
CrN coating: It has excellent anti-adhesion properties, can prevent graphite dust from adhering to the cutting edge, maintain the sharpness of the tool, and is especially suitable for processing environments with high humidity.
Composite coatings: such as the multi-layer structure of TiAlN+CrN, can simultaneously enhance wear resistance and lubricity, extending the tool life by 50% compared to single-layer coatings.
Processing efficiency and cost advantages: long-lasting durability and process optimization
High-speed adaptability: PCD milling cutters support high-speed cutting at 10,000 to 20,000 r/min, with processing efficiency 3 to 5 times higher than that of traditional tools, making them suitable for mass production.
Ultra-long service life and cost control: The service life of PCD milling cutters is 20 to 50 times that of cemented carbide, and they support rework and replacement (with a cost of only 30% of new cutters), reducing long-term usage costs by more than 60%.
Process optimization plan: Climb milling can reduce cutting force by 15%. Combined with high-pressure air blowing (0.6MPa) or dust collection devices to remove dust, the tool life can be further extended.
Typical application scenarios: Covering the high-end manufacturing field
Semiconductors and Electronics: Processing graphite electrodes for IC packaging molds, with an accuracy of ±0.002mm.
New energy: Processing of bipolar plate flow channels for fuel cells, with a surface finish of Ra0.4μm or less, to ensure the sealing of hydrogen.
Aerospace: Complex cavity processing of graphite nozzles for rocket engines, capable of withstanding temperatures above 3000℃.
Innovation trend: Customization and intelligent upgrade
Non-standard customization service: Specialized cutting tools are designed for complex structures (such as deep cavities and thin walls). For instance, a three-stage chamfering tool can simultaneously complete multiple processing procedures, increasing efficiency by 40%.
Intelligent monitoring integration: Some high-end cutting tools are equipped with built-in wear sensors, which, in combination with the machine tool data system, adjust the cutting parameters in real time to prevent sudden chipping.
Graphite milling cutters, through the collaborative innovation of materials, structures and coatings, have become the core tools for precision graphite processing. Especially in high-end fields such as new energy and semiconductors, their technological breakthroughs are continuously expanding the application boundaries of graphite materials. When making a selection, it is necessary to take into account the processing accuracy requirements, material properties and cost budget. Give priority to PCD material (long-lasting and low-cost) or ultrafine-grained cemented carbide (highly versatile), and pair it with high-precision tool holders and dust removal systems to maximize efficiency.
