11mm 2-Flute nACo Solid Carbide Ball Nose End Millfor HRC65 Hardened Steel 3D Contouring

nACo (nano-AlCrN composite) ball nose end mills represent the pinnacle of carbide ball-end tooling for hard milling. With coating hardness exceeding 3,800 HV and oxidation stability up to 1,100°C, nACo enables dry Z-level finishing in hardened mould steel (P20, H13, S7, D2) up to HRC65 — directly replacing the need for grinding after heat treatment. 2-flute geometry reduces vibration in long-reach configurations common in deep die cavities. Achieves Ra 0.4–0.8µm surface finish in HRC65 steel.

R5.5mm nACo 2F — Recommended Applications

  • Injection mould parting surface contouring
  • Wind turbine blade mould 3D finishing
  • Structural aerospace component contouring
  • Large forging die rough and semi-finish passes
Machining Tip: R5.5mm produces wide effective cutting zone. In HRC65 hardened steel, use 10–20% D1 step-over for semi-finish; this gives scallop < 0.05mm. At this diameter, ensure minimum wall thickness of 6mm for workholding rigidity, or use vibration-damping toolholder.

Scallop Height vs Step-Over — R5.5mm

Residual scallop height (cusps) between adjacent tool paths, calculated for R5.5mm ball nose:

h = R − √(R² − (ae/2)²). Actual Ra depends on feed rate, chip load, and material.

nACo — Why It Works for Ball-End Machining

  • nACo hardness > 3,800 HV — sustains edge sharpness in HRC65 steel
  • Oxidation stable to 1,100°C — enables dry hard milling
  • Eliminates grinding after heat treatment for mould steel
  • Achieves Ra 0.4–0.8µm in HRC65 P20/H13/S7/D2 steel
  • 2-flute reduces vibration in deep-cavity long-reach cuts
