The Behaviour of Graphitized Steels in Machining Processes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Graphitized steels are claimed to perform excellent in machining processes. They therefore can be considered as environmental friendly alternatives to the widely used Pb-alloyed steels. Due to liquid metal embrittlement and in-situ lubrication Pb improves machinability in a narrow tool-chip interface temperature window corresponding to low machining speeds. Although graphite inclusions are also supposed to generate in-situ lubrication, the mechanism and the corresponding optimum working zone is not very clear. The present work applies a new test methodology (including in-situ tribology, analysis of material flow and chip formation, optimum working zone analysis) to investigate the effects of graphite inclusions on turning and drilling operations. A Pb-alloyed low carbon free-cutting steel and Pb-alloyed case hardening steel were used as reference steels.
