An experimental investigation of uncoated WC-Co tool life and wear in turning of stainless steel / Nur Affatin Zawawi
Stainless steel is one of the most popularly engineering materials with wide variety of applications. Stainless steel is iron-base alloys containing 10.5 percent or more chromium, which acts as inhibitor from getting corroded. In addition, stainless steel is known as high ductility and weldability m...

Stainless steel is one of the most popularly engineering materials with wide variety of applications. Stainless steel is iron-base alloys containing 10.5 percent or more chromium, which acts as inhibitor from getting corroded. In addition, stainless steel is known as high ductility and weldability material. However, stainless steel is having low machinability due high built-up edge (BUE) formation, high work hardening and low heat conductivity which consequently contributed to poor surface quality and rapid tool wear. In the present work, the machinability of stainless steel is studied using uncoated WC-Co cutting tool in turning process. Three levels of rotational speed (N) with constant feed rate (f) and depth of cut (d) were investigated toward tool wear, tool life and surface roughness.
