China 4 Flute Straight Shank Carbide Roughing End Mill with TiALN Coating Manufacturer, Supplier

This 4-flute solid carbide roughing end mill features a straight shank design and advanced TiAlN coating, engineered for high-efficiency roughing operations across carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The wave-edge geometry delivers 50%+ higher material removal rate than standard end mills, significantly reducing cycle times. Ultra-fine grain carbide substrate ensures exceptional impact resistance and edge retention, while the TiAlN PVD coating provides superior wear resistance at elevated temperatures. Precision-ground on Swiss/German CNC grinders (Rollomatic/Walter) for consistent helix angle and micron-level concentricity. Ideal for mold cavities, automotive structural parts, and heavy machinery components. Available with 1pc MOQ, 7-25 days delivery, and full customization support.

Unique Product Advantages
1. 4-Flute Geometry Engineered for Roughing Efficiency
Maximized Metal Removal Rate (MRR)

Achieves over 50% higher productivity in stock removal compared to conventional end mills, significantly reducing overall machining cycle times.

Optimized Cutting Force Distribution

Enhances dynamic stability, suppresses chatter, minimizes flank wear, and prolongs tool service life.

Superior Chip Control

Integrated wave-edge and chip-splitting groove design facilitates rapid, clog-free chip evacuation, ensuring uninterrupted high-feed operations.

2. High-Grade Substrate & Advanced Surface Technology
Premium Carbide Substrate

Manufactured from 100% virgin ultra-micrograin carbide rods, delivering an optimal balance of transverse rupture strength, hardness, and fracture toughness for heavy interrupted cuts.

High-Performance PVD Coating

State-of-the-art wear-resistant thin-film coating significantly boosts hot hardness, oxidation resistance, and adhesive wear protection, extending effective tool life under demanding conditions.

Precision Grinding Technology

Ground on high-precision CNC tool grinders (Rollomatic, Walter, or Anca) to ensure tight geometrical tolerances, consistent helix angles, and superior edge preparation for repeatable machining results.

3. Integrated Supply Chain & Operational Reliability
Two Decades of Manufacturing Excellence

Vertically integrated production chain—from tungsten powder processing to finished cutting tools—guarantees raw material traceability, stable quality, and competitive cost structures.

ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management

Rigorous in-process inspection and final testing protocols ensure batch-to-batch consistency, dimensional accuracy, and defect-free delivery.

Agile & Customer-Focused Supply

Low minimum order quantity (1 piece) with sample availability. Standard lead times range from 7 to 25 days; custom-engineered solutions are also supported. Production capacity of 1,000,000 pieces per month ensures rapid response to bulk requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Suitable applications & materials?

A: Engineered for high-efficiency rough machining and rapid stock removal across carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Ideal for molds, automotive, and general machinery components.
