Industry Context & Processing Challenges: Electric vehicle battery trays and housings machined from large aluminum plates (6061/5083) require high-speed milling of thin-walled frames, liquid cooling channels, and hundreds of threaded mounting holes (M6/M8). Heat generated during dry machining of aluminum can cause distortion of the large, flat tray structure.
Technical Requirements: Tray flatness within strict tolerances across large surfaces, burr-free sealing faces, and reliable thread quality across high-volume hole patterns.
ZWH Tooling Solutions & Value: ZWH polished 3-flute aluminum end mills and PCD milling cutters deliver high-speed, low-vibration pocketing of thin battery tray walls, while ZWH solid carbide thread mills guarantee consistent thread quality across hundreds of mounting holes, eliminating tap breakage and reducing cycle time.
