Study Description
Objectives
To study the machinability of high performance steel. has received mixed reports from fabricators using high performance steel: some say it is harder to machine, some say it is no different. This study will provide a scientific answer to this question.
Comments
Active. This pooled-fund study is intended to identify machining parameters needed for fabricators in terms of tool selection, feed and speed rates and use of appropriate coolants. As of August 2003 tests on Band Saw Cutting, Plasma and Flame cutting and Grinding have been completed. Reports on individual tests have also been published. One more task remains to be completed by the contractor. We hope to get it done by June, 2005.
