Which Cutting Head Should Be Selected for Deep Hole Machining of Different Materials?

The core of deep hole machining is "material adaptation". Choosing the right cutting head can balance machining accuracy, efficiency and tool life, avoiding problems such as tool breakage, hole deviation and low efficiency. Combined with the commonly used industrial machining materials, the precise selection guide is as follows, which can be directly referenced by purchasers.

For machining easy-to-cut materials such as ordinary carbon steel and cast iron, prioritize carbide cutting heads. They have high hardness and wear resistance, high machining efficiency, are suitable for medium and low load deep hole machining, have outstanding cost performance, and are suitable for mass production scenarios.

For machining difficult-to-cut materials such as stainless steel and high-temperature alloys, select diamond-coated or PCD cutting heads. They are high-temperature resistant and wear resistant, can effectively reduce cutting resistance, avoid tool sticking, ensure deep hole machining accuracy, and are suitable for high-precision and high-demand working conditions.

For machining non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum and copper), select high-speed steel cutting heads. They have good toughness, are not easy to chip, can avoid material sticking to the tool, and are suitable for thin-walled and high-precision deep hole machining.

In summary, in accordance with the principle of "selecting carbide for easy-to-cut materials, coated types for difficult-to-cut materials, and high-speed steel for non-ferrous metals", and selecting based on machining accuracy requirements, deep hole machining can be completed efficiently, reducing losses and costs.
