DLC-Coated Carbide Ball Nose End Mill for Aluminum – 2-Flute
3D Contouring
Curved and free-form aluminum surfaces.
Cavity Finishing
Mold cavities, fillets and recessed profiles.
2-Flute Chip Space
Efficient chip evacuation in aluminum.
DLC Low Friction
Reduced adhesion and built-up edge.
DLC-Coated Carbide Ball Nose End Mill Overview
This DLC-coated carbide ball nose end mill 2 flutes is designed for 3D contouring, profiling and finishing in aluminum and selected non-ferrous materials. Full-radius geometry, wide chip space and a low-friction DLC surface support stable machining, while standard and custom sizes are available for repeat supply and OEM programs.
Technical Design Features
Sharp Cutting Edge & Reinforced Core
Negative-rake cutting-edge geometry combines cutting sharpness with improved edge strength for stable aluminum machining.
A large-core design increases tool rigidity, supports stable cutting and chip evacuation, and helps reduce the risk of edge chipping.
35° Helix & Precision-Ground Flutes
Il 35° helix angle and precision-ground spiral flute geometry provide enlarged chip space for aluminum machining.
Smooth chip evacuation helps reduce chip adhesion and recutting while supporting higher-efficiency 3D contouring, profiling and finishing.
Multi-Layer DLC Coating Structure
A 3-layer coating structure improves surface hardness, wear resistance and thermal performance during continuous machining.
The low-friction DLC surface helps reduce aluminum adhesion, built-up edge and tool wear, supporting stable high-efficiency non-ferrous machining.
Precision-Ground Shank
The precision-ground straight shank is controlled to a 0 / -0.005 mm diameter tolerance for stable clamping and repeatable tool positioning.
Tight shank control helps reduce vibration and chatter, supporting stable cutting and consistent machining performance.
