Stainless Steel 316L

One of the most important industrial demands is to improve the machinability of hard steels. Among hard steels, 316L stainless steel has significant mechanical and thermal properties recommended for many industrial applications and products, including aero-engines and gas turbines. Similar to many other hard-to-cut materials, the machining of 316L stainless steel requires an adequate selection of cutting parameters and lubrication modes. Limited studies have been found in this regard. In the present study, turning tests were conducted on 316L steel and the tool wear magnitude and morphology were assessed under four lubrication modes. Furthermore, to improve machining performance, a minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) system was used and the obtained results under this lubrication mode were compared to three other types of lubrication modes, including dry, wet, and MQCL. The composition of the adhered material on the cutting tools shows that in all lubrication modes, built-up edge (BUE) occurred. Furthermore, the use of high pressure-lubricated machining (MQCL) led to longer tool life as compared to the other three lubrication modes used. In fact, double the tool life was recorded for the cutting tools used under the MQCL mode.

Increase Tool Life

The study of cutting fluid performance in turning is of great importance because its optimization characteristics has associated benefits such as improved tool life and overall quality of machined components as well as reduction in power consumption during machining. However, there are recent concerns with the use of cutting fluids from the environmental and health standpoints. Since environmental legislation has become more rigorous, the option for “green machining” attracts the interest of several manufacturing companies. It is important to consider the cost of machining which is associated with tool wear, depending on the cutting environment. The use of vegetable oil may be an interesting alternative to minimize the health and environmental problems associated with cutting fluids without compromising machining performance. This paper presents a comparative study of mineral and vegetable cutting fluids in terms of tool wear after turning SAE 1050 steel grade with cemented carbide cutting tools. Constant depth of cut of 2mm and variable cutting speed (200 and 350 m/min) and feed rate (0.20 and 0.32 mm/rev) were employed. Test results suggest that is possible to achieve improvement in machinability of the material and increase tool life by using vegetable cutting fluid during machining. Tool life increased by about 85% when machining with vegetable-based fluids compared to mineral-based fluids. Analysis of the worn tools, however, revealed a more uniform wear on the worn flank face when machining with mineral-based fluids.

316L stainless steel is used in various industrial applications including chemical, biomedical and mechanical industries due to its good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Recycling of 316L stainless steel scrap without significantly reducing its value has received recently great attention because of the environmental regulations. In the current work, 316L stainless steel scrap was recycled via casting using Skull induction melting technique. The casted products subsequently subjected to laser surface melting process to improve its surface properties to be used for harsh environment. The results showed defect free surfaces with homogeneous microstructures. Nano size grains were also obtained due to rapid solidification process. Such nano size grains are preferred for extending the usage of the 316L stainless steel in new applications.Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected]

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

Additive manufacturing (AM) is rapidly expanding in many industrial applications because of the versatile possibilities of fast and complex fabrication of added value products. This manufacturing process would significantly reduce manufacturing time and development cost for nuclear components. However, the process leads to materials with complex microstructures, and their structural stability for nuclear application is still uncertain. This study focuses on 316L stainless steel fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) in the context of nuclear application, and compares with a cold-rolled solution annealed 316L sample. The effect of heat treatment (HT) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) on the microstructure and mechanical properties is discussed. It was found that after HT, the material microstructure remains mostly unchanged, while the HIP treatment removes the materials porosity, and partially re-crystallises the microstructure. Finally, the tensile tests showed excellent results, satisfying RCC-MR code requirements for all AM materials.

The purpose of this research is to find the effects of cutting speed on the performance of the ZTA ceramic cutting tool. Three types of ZTA tools used in this study which are ZTA-MgO(micro), ZTA-MgO(nano) and ZTA-MgO-CeO2. Each of them were fabricated by wet mixing the materials, then dried at 100°C before crushed into powder. The powder was pressed into rhombic shape and sintered at 1600°C at 4 hours soaking time to yield dense body. To study the effect of the cutting speed on fabricated tool, machining was performed on the stainless steel 316L at 1500 to 2000 rpm cutting speed. Surface roughness of workpiece was measured and the tool wears were analysed by using optical microscope and Matlab programming where two types of wear measured i.e. nose wear and crater wear. Result shows that by increasing the cutting speed, the nose wear and crater wear increased due to high abrasion. However, surface roughness decreased due to temperature rise causing easier chip formation leaving a good quality surface although the tool wear is increased.

Edge Preparation

Edge preparation is not only the process of grinding proper geometry of cutting edge or removing micro-cracks on cutting edge region, but also a way of improving cutting tool life. In this study, cutting models with different cutting edge radius were set up with FEM software. Medium carbon steel cutting tests were carried out using cutting tools with different edge radius. Cutting tool wear was simulated and measured for comparison. The simulation results show that edge radius has influences on tool wear. Tool cutting behavior is concerned with edge radius. A proper edge radius will improve the tool life. The experimental results show that proper edge preparation could improve tool impact resistance capability and reduce tool wear. The cutting tool life can be prolonged with suitable edge preparation. Edge preparation can improve cutting performance of cutting tool.

Tool Wear Mechanisms

Pure iron is a kind of high plasticity and toughness material. In the process of cutting pure iron, the tool wear is very serious. In this paper, three kinds of cutting tools KC5010, K313 and 1105 are used in the cutting pure iron process and the tool wear tests in dry cutting condition with different cutting parameters have been carried out. According to the results, the tool wear mechanisms and tool life of three kinds of cutting tools have been compared and analyzed. It is concluded that the tool life of K313 is better than KC5010 and 1105 and the three kinds of tool mechanisms are primarily adhesion wear, diffusion wear and oxidation wear.
