Diversified portfolio:
13 specialised milling cutters for various applications in machining titanium provide the respective optimal solution.
Highest process reliability:
The TPC geometry significantly increases process reliability especially in automated production.
Superior tool life:
The GARANT Master Titan solid carbide roughing end mill HPC 203029 12 achieves a 30% longer tool life than the next best competitor.
GARANT Master Titan TPC
Even titanium materials can be machined using the TPC milling process.
The chips are broken into short lengths, thereby reducing the risk of chip accumulations to a minimum. Chip clogging is avoided. This significantly increases process reliability, especially in automated production!
Trochoidal Performance Cutting
- Very high metal removal rate especially when used on difficult-to-machine materials
- Very high dynamic path speed
- Very low cutting force
- Low wear
- High savings potential compared to the conventional strategy
Requirements for successful TPC machining
- A modern CAM system or modern machine control
- A machining centre with the most dynamic characteristics possible
- TPC tools from GARANT − specially developed for the requirements in trochoidal application

Titanum - a material with special characteristics
- The high strength of titanium (Ti) results in a costly and energy-intensive production process, which is around 25 times more expensive than that of high-quality alloy steels.
- Titanium has a lower thermal conductivity than aluminium (Al).
- A large proportion of the process heat is transferred to the tool cutters, resulting in a high wear rate.
- The heat resulting from aluminium processing is dissipated via the swarf and the wear on the tool is reduced.
- Compared to aluminium, a very soft material, titanium is difficult to mill / turn due to work hardening.
- The tendency to seize due to the combination of elasticity and tensile strength poses a thread to taps.
- Processing of titanium also requires sufficient cooling as the resulting chips are highly flammable.
