The paper is concerned with a feasibility study of tool life and tool wear when employing high depths of cut (between 10 and 20 mm) and different cutter path strategies in the high-speed milling (HSM) of hardened die/mould steel. Following a review of previous work, experimental data are presented on the peripheral milling of hardened AISI H13 steel (HRC 52) using raster, single-direction raster and offset machining strategies. Coated carbide corner-radius end mills with a diameter of 10mm were employed with a fixed cutting speed of 314m/min and a feed per tooth of 0.067mm. From the experimental results it was realized that a raster cutter path strategy (combination of up and down milling) combined with high-depth roughing achieved the lowest tool wear. The offset strategy achieved the lowest tool life at all axial depths of cut within the range investigated. The experimental results clearly show that cutter path strategies and axial depths of cut have a significant effect on the tool life and tool wear for the cutters employed.

Abstract PRODEC STAINLESS TYPE 316 is a standardized grade in plate and bar with an improved machining capability over the conventional AISI Type 316. It is a product of extensive laboratory testing and application proven. Its improved machinability offers: shorter machining time; longer tool life; better surface finish; less distortion problems; more homogeneity in microstructures; and marginally increased resistance to corrosion. This datasheet provides information on composition and physical properties. It also includes information on machining. Filing Code: SS-549. Producer or source: Avesta Sheffield Inc.

Abstract Project 70 stainless type 303 and Project 7000 stainless type 303 are free-machining stainless steels of the austenitic chromium-nickel type. They offer significantly improved machinability and longer tool life. These steels are suited particularly for automatic bar-machine and Swiss-type machine operations where longer tool life results in more productive machining time. Applications include shafts, valve bodies, valves, valve trim, and fittings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and creep. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-409. Producer or source: Carpenter.
