The machinability rating of a metal takes the normal cutting speed, surface finish and tool life attained into consideration. These factors are weighted and combined to arrive at a final machinability ...

Chin Chang, Graham Smith, Guy Littlefair, Machinability of Sintered Distaloy HP-1 Components, SAE Transactions, Vol. 110, Section 5: JOURNAL OF MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING (2001), pp. 269-274 ...

The large number of machinability tests developed in the past are limited by their ability to compare materials of different classes, e.g., ferrous vs. non-ferrous metals, and by the extrapolation of ...

The alloy is easier to cold form than stainless steels. Machinability Incoloy 825 is classed as a ‘C’ alloy, and is reasonably easy to machine. Welding The alloy is readily weldable by the normal ...

The plastic machinability index for Dotmar engineering thermoplastics is a nominal ranking out of 20 = best. provided herein is a comparison of a range of engineering theroplastics such as nylon, PTFE ...

Two precipitation-hardenable steel alloys developed for use in aerospace applications bring benefits to other metal-using industries. Precipitation-hardenable (PH) stainless steels are turning up ...

One aspect of stainless steel’s lower machinability is that it is a poor conductor of heat compared to brass. This raises temperatures during machining and reduces the life of cutting tools.

Because HRSA materials are metallurgically composed to have high strength at high temperatures, the stresses that are generated when machining also are high. The unique capability of these nickel, ...
