Analysis of Cutting Zone Machinability during the Drilling of XCr18Ni8 Stainless Steel

This paper presents the conclusions of machinability tests on a XCr18Ni8 stainless steel. The content of this article also focuses on the analysis of selected basic indicators of steel machinability: quality of the processed surface. The results of the article are conclusions for working theory and practice for drillng of austenitic stainless steels. Based on the cutting tests, cutting speeds of 40 to 60 m/min, feed rate of 0.04 to 1.2 mm and screw drill carbide monolite.
