Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Quattromill-AL, a lightweight face milling cutter designed for high-performance machining of aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials. It highlights the cutter's features, benefits, and application cases.

Specifications: The Quattromill-AL cutter is equipped with PCD inserts and is available in diameters ranging from 80 to 315 mm. It features a lightweight aluminum body with a wear-resistant coating, allowing for higher speeds and reduced cutting forces. The cutter is designed for face milling operations with specific configurations for different materials.

Application Cases: Two application cases are detailed:

• Cylinder Block: Material: Al alloy/grey cast iron, Cutter: R220.53-8250AL-09-20C, Insert: SEEW09T3AFFN-L1, PCD30M, Result: 150 minutes machining time.
• Gearbox Housing: Material: Al-alloy with 8% Si, Cutter: R220.53-0080AL-09-6C, Insert: SEEX09T3AFFN-L1, PCD05, Result: 10,000 parts machined.

Features: The cutter's body is made from high-strength aluminum alloy, and its positive pocket geometry reduces power requirements. The PCD inserts are available in several grades, offering high toughness and wear resistance. The cutter includes adjustable cassettes for precise insert positioning.

Insert Features:

• SEEX Geometry: Recommended for fine finishing in low silicon aluminum alloys.
• SEEW Geometry: Suitable for abrasive applications like bi-metal face milling with PCD30M.

Grades:

• PCD20: First choice for general-purpose machining.
• PCD05: Suitable for milling medium and high silicon aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and fiber composites.
• PCD30M: Ideal for machining abrasive materials and offers thermal stability.

Benefits: The Quattromill-AL offers excellent surface finish, low power consumption, high consistency, long tool life, and light cutting action. PCD advantages over carbide grades include reduced energy consumption, higher metal removal rates, improved quality, and increased tool life.
