15mm 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.

Scallop Height vs Step-Over — R7.5mm
Residual scallop height (cusps) between adjacent tool paths, calculated for R7.5mm ball nose:
| Step-Over | Step-Over mm | Scallop Height (µm) | Typical Ra (µm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2% D1 | 0.30 | 1.5 | ≈ 0.30 |
| 5% D1 | 0.75 | 9.4 | ≈ 1.88 |
| 8% D1 | 1.20 | 24.0 | ≈ 4.81 |
| 10% D1 | 1.50 | 37.6 | ≈ 7.52 |
| 15% D1 | 2.25 | 84.9 | ≈ 16.97 |
| 20% D1 | 3.00 | 151.5 | ≈ 30.31 |
h = R − √(R² − (ae/2)²). Actual Ra depends on feed rate, chip load, and material.
Coating Performance
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
