PCM rotary shank material selection?

In the selection of PCM rotary tool handle material, you need to consider a number of factors, such as the use of the tool environment, processing materials, processing methods, etc. Generally speaking, the common PCM rotary shank materials are carbon steel, high-speed steel, cemented carbide and so on. Below we will analyze the characteristics of various materials and applicable scenarios, in order to better choose the appropriate PCM rotary shank material.

The first is carbon steel. Carbon steel is the most common tool handle material, with good toughness and machinability, suitable for ordinary processing scenarios. Although carbon steel is relatively cheap, it has poor wear resistance and is easy to lose the sharpness of the cutting edge, so it is suitable for occasions where the service life of the tool is not high.

The second is high-speed steel material. High speed steel has high hardness, excellent wear resistance and heat resistance, suitable for high speed cutting, high temperature processing and other requirements of the occasion. However, the fracture toughness of high-speed steel is poor, and it is easy to be damaged by a large impact force, so it is necessary to pay attention to the smooth control force and not to have too much impact force when selecting the material of high-speed steel shank.

Finally, the cemented carbide material. Tungsten carbide is a kind of tungsten, cobalt and other metal powder and hard particles through high temperature melting synthetic material, with extremely high hardness, wear resistance and heat resistance, suitable for wear, heat resistance of high-precision processing occasions. However, the toughness of cemented carbide is poor, and it is vulnerable to thermal expansion and impact damage, so it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the cutting conditions when selecting the material of cemented carbide shank to avoid excessive heat and impact.

In summary, the selection of PCM rotary shank material should be considered according to the specific processing requirements and environment. Under normal circumstances, carbon steel material is suitable for ordinary processing occasions, high-speed steel material is suitable for high-speed cutting, high-temperature processing occasions, and carbide material is suitable for high-precision processing occasions of wear-resistant and heat-resistant.
