18mm 2-Flute Uncoated Solid Carbide Ball Nose End Millfor Aluminium & Non-Ferrous 3D Surface Machining

Uncoated (bright-polished) ball nose end mills with 2 flutes are specifically optimised for high-speed 3D contouring in aluminium alloys, copper, graphite, and soft non-ferrous materials. The mirror-polished flute surface prevents built-up edge (BUE) that can degrade surface finish in soft metals. Large chip gullets ensure complete swarf evacuation even at spindle speeds above 20,000 RPM. Ideal for electrode machining (EDM graphite) and aluminium aerospace structural components.

R9mm Uncoated 2F — Recommended Applications

  • Heavy mould base 3D contouring
  • Large stamping and forming die profiling
  • Marine propeller and impeller blade finishing
  • Power generation turbine component contouring
Machining Tip: R9mm generates significant cutting forces in aluminium alloy. Verify spindle power ≥ 10 kW for sustained 3D contouring at full engagement. Use high-pressure coolant or MQL for thermal management. Preferred tool path: scallop finishing (constant cusps) over parallel raster.

Scallop Height vs Step-Over — R9mm

Residual scallop height (cusps) between adjacent tool paths, calculated for R9mm ball nose:

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

Uncoated — Why It Works for Ball-End Machining

  • Mirror-polished flute — zero aluminium adhesion on ball profile
  • Eliminates built-up edge (BUE) during high-speed aluminium contouring
  • Large chip gullets for clean swarf evacuation at 20,000+ RPM
  • Ideal for graphite electrode and EDM insert 3D profiles
  • Use with air blast or light oil mist — no flood coolant needed
