WHAT IS TOOLOX?

Toolox® is a modern quenched and tempered prehardened engineering and tool steel, delivered with measured and guaranteed mechanical properties. The basic idea is to save you time by delivering Toolox heat treated and ready to use. It provides you with lower costs, reduced risks and saves you valuable time in your production process due to its excellent machinability. This combined with the benefit of working with the hardest prehardened tool steel in the world gives you a simple to use material with a wide variety of uses.

Toolox is based on the same low carbon content as in Hardox® and Strenx®, but it is specially developed for tools and machine components working at high temperatures. It has excellent fatigue properties, and you can increase the surface hardness with nitriding or PVD coatings to gain more control over the service life of your tools or components.

In the information that follows, you will find our recommendations of tools to process Toolox. Similar tools from other suppliers might work, but here are the ones we have tested so far.

DRILLING RECOMMENDATIONS

HSS DRILLS

Use only HSS drills when you have unstable machine conditions. If the machine conditions are good you can use different solid/brazed cemented carbide drill or drills with exchangeable heads.

Hss drills
Hss-Co

Use an HSS-Co drill (8% Co) with a low helix angle and a robust core that can withstand high torques.

HSS, HSS-E, HSS Co

Individual holes can be drilled with an ordinary HSS drill. For a rational production, either a microalloyed (HSS-E) or a Cobalt alloyed (HSS-Co) drill is recommended.

* WHEN USING A LARGE DRILL DIAMETER ( >30 MM), MAKE SURE THAT:

  1. The machine is large and stable enough to raise sectinal forces.
  2. The spindle has zero play.
  3. The workpiece is well clamped.
  4. Motor output is equal to or greater than 7.5 kW.

 

Solid cemented drill

ADVICE TO REDUCE VIBRATIONS AND INCREASE THE LIFETIME OF THE DRILL

  • Minimize the distances to the column and between to drill tip and the workpiece
  • Don ́t use a longer drill than necessary
  • Always use metal supports
  • Clamp securely
  • Use a solid and firm table
  • Always use coolant
  • Coolant mix 8-10 %
  • Just before the drill breaks through, disengage the feed rate for a second. Otherwise, play/springback can snap the drill tip. Re-engage the feed rate after the play/springback stops.

MILLING RECOMMENDATIONS

 

CLAMPING

Toolox has a very low level of residual stresses. To get the full effect make sure to use deformation-free clamping. If blanks are gas cut, mill off 5-10mm from the gas-cut edge to get a blank free from residual stresses.

The machinability of Toolox has been improved. During milling you will notice it because the chips produced are very bluish. We have modified the carbide morphology as compared to traditional tool steels, using less carbon in Toolox. Therefore, the heat generated during milling is transferred into the chip and not into the cutting edge/workpiece.

Milling recomendations

MILLING ADVICE

  • Position the cutter off-center (to the left) to achieve a thicker chip at the entry and to avoid thick chip on the exit.
  • Avoid cutting through the center line of the cutter, because this can generate vibration.
  • Always use down milling (climb millIng).
  • The recommendation is that the radial engagement of the cutter (ae) should be 25 or 75-80% of the diameter.
Milling advice

If you enter the workpiece with the roll-into-cut method, the chip thickness on the exit is always zero, and it will help to give a longer tool life.

* Example insert grade 1030.

“The last 2 numbers in the insert grade indicate where in this scale the insert belongs, if the insert has wear or toughness resistance.“

 

 

INSERT GEOMETRY

The macro geometry affects many parameters in the cutting process. An insert with a strong cutting edge can work at higher loads, but it will also generate higher cutting forces, consume more power and generate more heat.

* Use insert grade P 30-50 with light cutting geometry and a coarse - pitch cutter if the machine power is low and with unstable machine conditions.

TAPPING RECOMMENDATIONS

With the correct tools you can perform all tapping/thread milling operations using all Toolox grades. We recommend four-flute taps, which can withstand the very high torque that occurs during tapping in hard materials. If is not critical, the drilled hole can be 3% larger than standard. This will increase the lifetime of the tap.

* Thread oil or thread paste is recommended as lubricant.

Use insert grade P1030 for average machine conditions. In very stable machine conditions and with a rigid set-up, insert grade P1010 is more suitable, especially in Toolox 40 and 44. Then you can increase the cutting speed by approximately 20-30%.
