Tungaloy presents 10 new XVCT-AM square shoulder milling inserts to expand its TungAluMill line designed specifically for non-ferrous applications.
TungAluMill is intended for efficient machining of aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials at high speed rates. The tool is designed to eliminate radial insert displacement caused by heavy cutting forces and strong centrifugal forces during high-speed rotation of the cutter, which is essential for efficient machining of aluminum parts. Additionally, the insert’s top and peripheral surfaces are ground and polished to a mirror-like finish, resulting in high-positive and sharp cutting edges that ensure soft cutting action, good surface finishing quality and prevention of built-up edge formation on the cutting edge.
Based on the features of the company’s conventional XVCT-AJ inserts, the XVCT-AM inserts introduce an enhanced interface design that improves insert retention during high-speed machining while reducing raw material use for insert production, all without compromising cutting performance.
