  2. Free machining steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_machining_steel

    Free machining steel costs 15 to 20% more than standard steel, but this higher cost is offset by increased machining speeds, larger cuts, and longer tool life. [1] The disadvantages of free machining steel are: ductility is decreased; impact resistance is reduced; copper-based brazed joints suffer from embrittlement with bismuth free machining ...

  3. Broaching (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broaching_(metalworking)

    The semi-finishing teeth provide surface finish and the finishing teeth provide the final finishing. The finishing section's RPT (t f) is usually zero so that as the first finishing teeth wear the later ones continue the sizing function. For free-machining steels the RPT ranges from 0.006 to 0.001 in (0.152 to 0.025 mm). For surface broaching ...

  4. Machinability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinability

    Machinability is the ease with which a metal can be cut permitting the removal of the material with a satisfactory finish at low cost. [1] Materials with good machinability (free machining materials) require little power to cut, can be cut quickly, easily obtain a good finish, and do not cause significant wear on the tooling.

  5. Way (machine tool element) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_(machine_tool_element)

    The latter was commonly used on shapers, where the entire way is covered by some part of the sliding element at all times. The ends of the ways are fitted with felt wipers to prevent oil from leaking out as the slide overhangs the ways. Protective guards are sometimes fitted to prevent metal shavings or dropped objects from damaging the ways. [1]

  7. Machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

    Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, [1] which utilizes machine tools, in contrast to additive manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing), which uses controlled addition of material. Machining is a major process of the manufacture of many metal products, but it can also be used on other materials such as wood, plastic, ceramic, and ...

  8. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  9. Freeform surface machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeform_surface_machining

    Freeform surface milling. In manufacturing, freeform surface machining refers to the machining of complex surfaces that are not uniformly planar. The industries which most often manufactures free-form surfaces are basically aerospace, automotive, die mold industries, biomedical and power sector for turbine blades manufacturing.
