Objective

Stainless steels are indispensable for various applications, although machining properties have characterised as difficult. Recent trends in the metal working industries target to increase the metal removing rates in production processes. The project will focus on the improvement of the machinability of stainless steels and, on the possibilities of improved machining. Environmental friendly stainless steels adapted for particular applications will be evaluated against high speed cutting dry/low amount lubrication machining.
