DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) Coating AURORA COAT Series Features Sumitomo Electric’s ”AURORA” COAT is a high hardness, low coefficient layer of ”Diamond Like Carbon” (DLC). Other than producing excellent surface finish for machining of Aluminium and non-ferrous metals, DLC coat can be used for dry cutting and is environmental friendly. Characteristics / Application l Very smooth AURORA COAT results in low adhesion as well as good surface finish l With lower cutting forces and high rigidity, this series is suitable for low rigidity machine l Available in 2 and 4 flutes square type as well as ballnose type endmills Product Series No. of teeth Shape Diameter Range Square ASM2000DL 2 ø2~ø16 Square ASM4000DL 4 ø2~ø16 Ballnose SNB2000DL 2 ø2~ø16(R1~R8) Efficiency l Performance Comparison l Surface Finish Comparison UncoatedVibrationendmill Vibration Uncoatedendmill Uncoated endmill -30% -48% Uncoated AURORA AURORA endmill COAT COAT AURORA AURORA COAT COAT WET DRY WET DRY (Emulsion) (Emulsion) Work Material: A5052 Work Material: A5052 Tool: ASM4100DL, ø10mm 4 teeth Tool: ASM4100DL, ø10mm 4 teeth Cutting Conditions: vc = 200m/min, n = 6,300rpm, v f = 1300mm/min Cutting Conditions: vc = 200m/min, n = 6,300rpm, v f = 1300mm/min ft = 0,05mm/tooth, doc = 10mm, woc = 1,0mm ft = 0,05mm/tooth, doc = 10mm, woc = 1,0mm Down Cut Down Cut J27 Endmills Coated Cutting resistance (N) Surface Roughness, Ra (µm)
