MAG’s cryogenic machining is an extreme response to the danger of heat in machining titanium, but the company says heat has always been the enemy. The company offers 20-flute end mills for titanium because the large number of flutes offers a way to cut at low surface speed and light depth of cut, but still maintain a high metal removal rate through a high inch-per-minute feed rate. See video of a 20-flute tool.
