Stainless steels AISI series 300 (Chrome-Nickel alloys), AISI series 400 (Chrome and Chrome-Molybdenum alloys) and precipitation-hardening (PH) stainless steels can be milled with strategies, parameters and standard catalog tools developed by Millstar for die/mold milling. For most applications AlTiN-Exalon coated tools will enhance the milling performance substantially. For applications with extreme working parameters, contact our application department for a tailor-made solution. The tools best suited are the versatile standard catalog solid carbide end mill series from Millstar, and the Millstar insert technology tools. Inserts with chip- breaker should be used on stainless steel below 40 HRc; non-chip-breaker inserts should be used at 40HRc and higher hardness.
When machining softer, gummy or sticky materials such as stainless or lower carbon steels, a certain amount of lubricant is of advantage in preventing edge build-up. Coolant with a higher coolant concentration (9-12%) or MQL is recommended. Running tools aggressively, so the temperature in the cutting zone is high enough to prevent built-up edge, eliminates this problem and increases productivity as well.
