Walter Introduces Solid Carbide Milling Cutters for Titanium

Walter AG presents ‘MD377 Supreme’ and ‘MC377 Advance’ solid carbide milling cutters especially for titanium. Both the tools are ideal for roughing, finishing and semi-finishing as well as for full slotting, ramping, shoulder milling and plunging. In addition, the MD377 Supreme is also suited for dynamic milling, whereas the MC377 Advance can also be used for chrome-nickel and steel materials, as well as titanium, without internal cooling.

The extensive range includes products with diameters from 2 mm, making them especially appealing for small parts manufacturers in the medical technology sector, the food industry, and the watchmaking industry. The long tool life of the Walter WK40EA grade and the international accessible reconditioning service add to its listed benefits, along with the possibilities for universal use.

The MD377 Supreme has been developed in the aviation and aerospace industry and is thus precisely suited to its specifications. When it comes to machining engine components and structural components, the titanium specialist with a central coolant supply represents a benchmark. It allows for tight tolerances and stands out due to its exceptionally high metal removal rate.

The MC377 Advance can be used universally through its five cutting edges for optimised productivity, reduced vibrations (thanks to the differential pitch) and the latest company exclusive AlTiN+ZrN coating with HIPIMS technology. Even when confronted with difficult cutting properties of titanium, it guarantees maximum tool life. The company also offers custom-designed tools through the Xpress service for faster delivery, in addition to the standard range with diameters from 6 mm and cutting lengths up to 2×D.
