Guhring solutions for the machining of stainless steels Stainless steels and their attributes Stainless or acid-resistant steels have a very high chromium content > 12 %, an excellent resistance against chemically aggressive substances and corrosion. The chromium creates a micro oxygen diffusing chromium dioxide coating on the surface, that prevents in-depth corrosion. Most stainless steels are from the austenitic group of steels. Next to chromium, nickel is the most important constituent of the structure, often molybdenum is also added to optimise the mechanical characterisics. The range of...

Guhring solutions for the machining of stainless steels Properties and attributes when machining When machining stainless or acid-resistant steels, the following properties should be noted: These materials tend to work harden, are very poor conductors of heat and display a high toughness and shear elongation. The high toughness leads to a very heavy cutting load especially when drilling and when producing threads. In addition, the mechanical properties of stainless or acid-resistant steels produce unfavourable chips that tend to stick and jam. Optimal machining and tool selection Stainless or...

Milling tools for stainless steels Ratio end mills RF 100 VA RF 100 high-performance end mills excel with different spiral angles, resulting in a vibration-free cut. With the unequal helix, a considerably better surface quality is achieved on finishing operations and clearly higher feed rates can be achieved with slot drilling and rough milling. With many applications the complete milling process can be covered with a RF 100, generating a considerable cost advantage in addition to an increase in tool life and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece. In combination with the newly developed roughing...
