Microhardness and Surface Integrity in Turning Process of Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) for Different Cutting Conditions

The objective of the investigation was to identify microhardness of surface integrity (SI) after turning with wedges of coated sintered carbide. SI is important in determining corrosion resistance, and also in fatigue crack initiation. The investigation included microhardness analyses in dry and wet machining of duplex stainless steel. The microhardness of SI for various cutting speeds was compared. It has been shown that wet cutting leads to the decrease of SI hardening depth, while increasing the rounded cutting edge radius of the wedge increases the maximum microhardness values and the hardening depth. An infinite focus measurement machine has been used for the rounded cutting edge radius analysis. The study has been performed within a production facility during the production of electric motor parts and deep-well pumps as well as explosively cladded sheets.Graphical Abstract
