The Most Challenging Materials to Machine and How to Handle Them
Hardened Steels Hardened steels display remarkable strength and wear resistance, thanks to a heat-treated process that increases hardness. These materials often present a Rockwell Hardness rating greater than 40 RC. Tooling: Utilizing carbide or ceramic tools significantly increases tool life and efficiency. The use of Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN) can also improve results. Cutting …
