Machineability of steels
I am new to metalworking, and am struggling with my new lathe (9x20?)to
achieve decent surface finishes on steel parts. Currently I am working with bright mild steel, but have just ordered some EN8, EN19 and SS304 to do comparative tests. I do not have the ability to flood cool the job, I am considering adapting to flood coolant system for use with soluble oil. Is this worthwhile? I am cutting with a Korloy insert tool, 50 m/min speed and 0.1 mm/rev feed, which is conservative. Any suggestions ?? |
