Machinability Study on Hard AISI 4340 Steel with Carbide Cutting Tools
Subscribe/Renew Journal
An investigation on machinability study on hard grade AISI 4340 steel with carbide cutting tools during turning is reported in this paper. This steel is employed in military aircraft, automotive systems, forged hydraulic systems and other machine tools. TiC coated groove type SNMG 120408-PM and TiC coated plain SNMA 120408/315 K15 carbide inserts are used under dry condition at a constant depth of cut. Wear test is also done. Turning tests employing groove type insert give desired performance, eg. high material removal rate, low tool wear rate and broken chips at a feed above 0.1 mm/rev with no built-up edge formation.
