Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum milling cutters

Many people who are new to this type of milling cutter may not be familiar with these cutters and have many questions! For example: What is a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum milling cutter? What are they used for? What are its characteristics? What advantages does it have over conventional milling cutters? In what situations should I use this type of cutter? Is this cutter expensive?

To understand what a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum milling cutter is, we must first understand what a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy is. The first cobalt-based alloys were cobalt-chromium binary alloys, which were later developed into cobalt-chromium-tungsten ternary alloys, and then later into cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys. Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys are alloys in which cobalt is the main component, with significant amounts of chromium, molybdenum and small amounts of alloying elements such as nickel, carbon and, occasionally, iron.

So why are these alloys used in milling cutters? The fundamental reason lies in the metal properties of this metal! The most prominent characteristic of these alloys is their wear resistance. Cobalt is used in industry to make carbide tools and molybdenum is an indispensable metal for tank armour. The combination of these alloys is resistant to high temperatures, high hardness, wear, corrosion and impact. So with all these properties, it is easy to understand why it is so well established in the tooling industry.
