HH(300) 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill for Hardened Steel

The HH(300) 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill features 0.3 μm ultra-fine grain carbide and a high-performance TiSiN PVD coating. Designed for high-speed, dry and semi-dry machining of hardened steel up to 60 HRC, mold steel, titanium alloys and nickel-based superalloys.

Product Details

The HH(300) 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill is developed for high-speed machining of hardened and difficult-to-machine materials.

Its 0.3 μm ultra-fine grain carbide substrate provides a stable cutting edge, while the high-performance TiSiN PVD coating is designed for demanding thermal and wear conditions.

The coating offers high hardness and excellent high-temperature performance, with temperature resistance of approximately 1200°C.

This combination makes the HH(300) particularly suitable for hardened steel and mold steel up to 60 HRC, as well as titanium alloys and nickel-based superalloys.

Key Features

0.3 μm Ultra-Fine Grain Carbide

The HH(300) uses a 0.3 μm ultra-fine grain carbide substrate for a stable and wear-resistant cutting edge.

The fine-grain carbide is suitable for high-speed machining where edge stability is critical.

TiSiN PVD Coating for High-Temperature Cutting

The TiSiN composite PVD coating provides high coating hardness and strong resistance to elevated cutting temperatures.

With high-temperature performance of approximately 1200°C, it is designed for demanding machining conditions where conventional coatings may experience accelerated thermal wear.

Designed for Hardened Steel up to 60 HRC

The HH(300) is specifically suited to machining hardened steel and mold steel up to 60 HRC.

It is a strong choice for high-speed machining of hardened workpieces where cutting heat and edge wear need to be controlled.

Optimized for Dry and Semi-Dry Machining

Dry and semi-dry cutting can reduce or eliminate coolant use, but they also place greater demands on the cutting tool.

The HH(300) is designed for these conditions, making it suitable for high-speed machining where thermal stability is important.

Suitable for Difficult-to-Machine Alloys

The HH(300) can also be used for titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, and other difficult-to-machine materials.

Its coating and carbide substrate are designed for applications involving high cutting loads, heat generation, and demanding material conditions.

Machining Challenges the HH(300) Addresses

High Heat During Dry Cutting

Dry machining can significantly increase cutting temperature.

The TiSiN PVD coating provides high-temperature resistance to help maintain cutting performance under demanding thermal conditions.

Tool Wear in Hardened Steel

Hardened steel places high mechanical and thermal loads on the cutting edge.

The combination of ultra-fine grain carbide and TiSiN coating helps improve resistance to wear when machining materials up to 60 HRC.

Difficult Mold Steel Machining

Mold steel often requires stable high-speed cutting and accurate contouring after hardening.

The HH(300) is designed for hardened mold steel applications where tool durability and cutting stability are important.

Difficult-to-Machine Superalloys

Titanium alloys and nickel-based superalloys generate significant heat and can accelerate tool wear.

The HH(300) provides a high-hardness coated solution for demanding high-speed machining applications.

Recommended Materials

The HH(300) is suitable for:

  • Hardened steel up to 60 HRC
  • Mold steel
  • Titanium alloys
  • Nickel-based superalloys
  • Other difficult-to-machine materials

The recommended application should be determined according to the workpiece condition, hardness, machine capability, tool diameter, and cutting parameters.

Typical Applications

The HH(300) 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill is suitable for:

  • Hardened mold steel machining
  • 3D contouring
  • Complex curved surfaces
  • High-speed finishing
  • Hardened steel profiling
  • Mold and die machining
  • Titanium alloy machining
  • Nickel-based superalloy machining
  • Dry machining
  • Semi-dry machining

The ball nose profile is particularly useful for 3D surfaces and complex contours, where smooth tool engagement is required.
