September 2012 | Craftsman’s Cribsheet #1 The machinability of steel bars is determined by three primary factors: Cold work, Thermal treatment, and Chemical composition. VIEW/DOWNLOAD
Don’t confuse hardness and hardenability. Hardness is a material property. Hardenability is a way to indicate a material’s potential to be hardened by thermal treatment.
If forced vibration is what you have, confirming the integrity of the machine tool and its power train is a critical first step. Reducing the feed per revolution is one way to determine if it is the variation in the cutting process that is forcing the vibration. Changing the SFM or rpm’s by at least 25% is also something to try (increase or decrease!)
To eliminate self excited chatter decrease the length of the tool in the cut, and substitute more rigid tooling and support materials (a carbide boring bar deflects less and can make three or more times heavier a cut than one made of steel for example) .
Published July 2007 By Miles Free More than 420 people attended the 2007 PMPA National Technical Conference, held in Columbus, Ohio, in conjunction with the Precision Machining Technology Show from April 22 to 24. This conference offered attendees “tracks” of programming along the manufacturing technical, management and quality areas of interest. VIEW ARTICLE
