Carbide drills and high speed steel drills, which are suitable for working stainless steel?

Answer:

High cutting force and high cutting temperatureThis kind of material has high strength, large tangential stress and large plastic deformation during cutting, so it has great cutting force. In addition, the material has a poor thermal conductivity, which results in the increase of cutting temperature, and the high temperature often concentrates in the long and narrow area near the cutting edge of the tool, thus speeding up the tool wear.
The materials generally contain high melting point elements, large plasticity, high cutting temperature, so that the tool wear faster, sharpening and changing knives frequently, thus affecting the production efficiency and improving the tool cost.Mainly to reduce the cutting line speed, feed. With special processing stainless steel or high temperature alloy cutting tools, drilling, tapping the best internal cooling
Easy sticking knifeBoth austenitic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel exist in the process of chip toughness, cutting temperature is very high. When the tough chip flows through the rake face, the bonding, welding and other sticking phenomena will occur, which will affect the surface roughness of the machined parts.
Serious work hardeningAustenitic stainless steel and some high alloy stainless steel is austenite, high work hardening tendency when cutting, usually plain carbon steel several times, the tool in hardening region cutting, shortening tool life.
