9 SOLID HM MILLS – FAMILIES With our assortment of Solid HM Mills we can offer solutions to machine material for practically any WMG. Our Solid HM Mills families: Line Description With rake angle value from 7° to 10° offers a wide usage in medium strength steel and cast steels, medium strength stainless steels, cast irons and medium strength S7xx high temperature alloys. With rake angle value from 3° to 4° suits best for high alloyed steels >1200 to 1620 N/mm², medium strength stainless steels >850 N/mm² and medium to high S2xx strength super alloys >900 N/mm². S5xx With an negative rake angle is suited for hardened materials above 54 HRC (S501 – S511 are not in). S6xx With high rake angle are ideal for non-ferrous materials with one exception: S612 is only for abrasive materials such as graphite. S8xx Rake angle 10° suit for a multiapplication usage in mild up to medium strength steel and cast steels, mild to medium strength stainless steels, cast irons and S501 non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and cooper and its alloys. S511 Rake angle 12° makes the cutter ideal for general purposes use for softer materials, such as free machining up to medium strength steel and cast steels, cast irons, S9xx non-ferrous materials and pure titanium. 21
