The demand for turbochargers for automobiles has increased in recent years and many of the impellers incorporated into these turbochargers are made of aluminium alloys.

In order to answer the need to efficiently machine aluminium alloy impellers, MITSUBISHI MATERIALS released the non-coated C4LATB end mill. It has been highly evaluated by customers as an end mill with excellent chip discharge properties and displays a high resistance to breakage. To complement the original series, a DLC4LATB coated type has been introduced. The uniquely developed DLC coating provides excellent welding resistance during high-speed machining and when the coolant supply is reduced. Additionally, the low coefficient of friction reduces cutting resistance.
