Careful consideration of the entire machining system will improve milling of hardened steels. To maximize productivity and reliability, mold shops often machine a large portion of their products from hardened steels. Historically, hardened steels have been rough milled at low feeds and speeds, with ...
Metal-removal efficiency. Hard turning performed at large DOCs and high workpiece speeds permits potentially higher metal-removal rates (mrr) in hardened steels than can be achieved with grinding. Users frequently report tripled or quadrupled mrr. But such increases can’t always be achieved. The ...
