Maximum performance for stainless steel
The Walter AG has expanded the Proto·max™ milling cutter family with a new specialist cutter for stainless steel
The solid carbide end mills in the Proto·max™ family from the competence brand
Walter Prototyp stand for maximum machining capacity. The variant for machining
steel and the variant for machining hardened materials have already lived up to this
claim. The new model for machining stainless steel is matching the success of its
predecessors.
According to Walter, the Proto·max™Inox offers an average performance increase of 50 percent
when machining stainless steel in comparison with conventional, universal solid carbide end
mills. Particular features that are exactly attuned to the ISO M material group are responsible
for this enormous performance jump. The four-edged maximum cutter has two internal helical
coolant channels to keep the operating temperature at a constant level, and also to remove
the chips reliably and thereby ensure high process stability. The tool is therefore able to deploy
its full capacity on machines where internal cooling is combined with external cooling. The new
TAA coating with a TiAlN base and an optimized micro geometry counteract the typical wear
mechanisms of stainless steels. Another feature of particular importance: In order to achieve
low vibration running, and consequently long tool life and high-quality surfaces, the tool has
unequal helix angles, i.e. 35 and 38 degrees. A further innovation is to inscribe the code letter
M on the shank which stands for the ISO M material group. This inscription is intended to help
the user to immediately identify the primary application of the tool.
The Proto·max™Inox is the first choice wherever valuable materials from the ISO M group are
being machined and high machining rates are required at the same time. Examples can be
found in certain areas of general mechanical engineering, in medical and food engineering, and
also in aerospace engineering. Whether full grooves of up to 1xDc or side milling up to 2xDc,
the Proto·max™Inox is ideally equipped for components with these sorts of requirements. Walter
supplies the mill in the diameter range 6 to 20 mm, with or without corner radii (R0.5 to R4).
