PCD Double-Flute End Mills: Precision Solution for FR4 & G10 Glass Fiber Machining
Glass fiber composites (like FR4 and G10) offer exceptional lightness, insulation, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance.
However, their low density, high hardness, and poor thermal conductivity create significant machining challenges:
Rapid Tool Wear: Abrasive glass fibers quickly degrade standard or coated tools.
Heat Buildup: Poor thermal conductivity intensifies cutting heat, especially where coolant is restricted.
Machining Defects: Fiber pulling, delamination, tearing, and burring are common issues.
Sticking: Material adhesion ("stick to the tool") further complicates processing.
Why PCD Double-Flute End Mills Excel
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) end mills directly address these pain points:
1. Ultra-High Hardness & Wear Resistance (8000-10000 HV):
With 5-10 times the hardness of carbide, PCD withstands abrasive glass fibers dramatically longer, significantly reducing tool change frequency and cost.
2. Optimized Double-Flute Design:
Ensures balanced cutting forces for superior stability. This minimizes vibration, reduces the risk of edge chipping, and delivers smoother surface finishes on brittle materials.
3. Low Friction Coefficient (0.05-0.1):
Prevents heat-induced material adhesion ("stick to the tool"), maintaining consistent cutting performance and protecting part quality.
PCD Double-Flute End Mills Solving Industry-Specific Challenges
FR4 Circuit Board Machining:
Demands extreme precision for small holes/narrow slots to prevent burrs from affecting component assembly. Ultra-fine grain PCD double-flute end mills provide the sharpness needed for clean cuts in FR4 (glass fiber epoxy), boosting efficiency, reducing defects, and lowering overall costs.
G10 Component Machining:
Requires dimensional stability and zero delamination in parts like insulators and mechanical components. The symmetrical cutting action of PCD double-flute end mills evenly distributes forces, preventing delamination and cracking in high-strength G10 (glass fiber epoxy).
