Metallilõiketerasid

Metallilõiketerad are cutting tools made of metal, specifically designed for shaping or removing material from other metal objects. These tools are crucial in various manufacturing, machining, and repair processes. The selection of a specific metallilõiketeras depends on factors such as the material being cut, the desired precision, the speed of operation, and the type of cut.

Common types of metallilõiketerad include milling cutters, drills, saw blades, and turning tools. Milling cutters are used to remove material from a workpiece by rotating a cutting tool with multiple cutting edges. Drills are used to create holes, while saw blades are employed for cutting through metal in a sawing motion. Turning tools, also known as lathe tools, are used in lathes to shape rotating workpieces by removing material with a single-point cutting edge.

The materials used for metallilõiketerad are typically hard and wear-resistant alloys. High-speed steel (HSS) is a common choice, known for its ability to maintain hardness at elevated temperatures. Carbide, often in the form of tungsten carbide, is another popular material, offering superior hardness and wear resistance compared to HSS, allowing for faster cutting speeds. Ceramic and diamond-coated tools are also used for specialized applications requiring extreme hardness and durability. The design of the cutting edge, including its angle and geometry, is critical for efficient and clean cutting, as well as for extending the tool's lifespan. Regular maintenance and proper sharpening are essential to ensure the optimal performance of metallilõiketerad.
