5mm 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.

R2.5mm nACo 2F — Recommended Applications

  • Mould cavity 3D finishing and detail contouring
  • Aerospace turbine blade fillet machining
  • Die casting insert surface finishing
  • Medical device complex surface profiling
Machining Tip: R2.5mm is the most popular size for die and mould work. In HRC65 hardened steel, use 5–10% D1 step-over for semi-finishing, 2–5% for finishing. Feed rate 0.02–0.06 mm/tooth; adjust to keep scallop height ≤ 0.005mm for polishing-free finish.

Scallop Height vs Step-Over — R2.5mm

Residual scallop height (cusps) between adjacent tool paths, calculated for R2.5mm ball nose:

Step-OverStep-Over mmScallop Height (µm)Typical Ra (µm)
2% D10.100.50.10
5% D10.253.10.63
8% D10.408.01.60
10% D10.5012.52.51
15% D10.7528.35.66
20% D11.0050.510.10

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
