Machining |
| |
| The following are guidelines for performing typical machining operations upon C-2000 alloy wrought stock. Exact details for specific machining jobs will vary with circumstances of the particular job. Other tool materials not listed here may be suitable for machining C-2000 alloy under various conditions. For further information, please consult Haynes publication H-2010. |
| Recommended Tool Types and Machining Conditions |
Operations |
Carbide Tools |
High Speed Steel Tools |
| Drilling |
C-2 grade not recommended, but tipped drills may be successful on rigid setup of no great depth. The web must be thinned to reduce thrust Use 135° included angle on point, Gun drill can be used.
Speed: 50 sfm.
Oil2 or water-base3 coolant.
Coolant-feed carbide tipped drills may be economical in some setups. |
M-33, M-40 series1 or T-15: Use short drills, heavy web, 135° crank-shaft, grind points wherever possible.
Speed: 10-15 sfm.
Feed:
0.001 in. rev. 1/8 in. dia.
0.002 in. rev. 1/4 in. dia.
0.003 in. rev. 1/2 in. dia.
0.005 in. rev. 3/4 in. dia. 0.007 in. rev. 1 in. dia.
Oil or water-base coolant. Use coolant feed drills if possible. |
| Normal Roughing; Turning or Facing |
C-2 or C-3 grade: Negative rake square insert, 45° SCEA4, 1/32 in. nose radius.
Tool holder: 5° neg. back rake, 5° neg.
side rake.
Speed: 90 sfm depending on rigidity of
set up, 0.010 in. feed, 0.150 in.
depth of cut.
Dry5, oil, or water-base coolant. |
|
| Finishing; Turning or Facing |
C-2 or C-3 grade: Positive rake square insert, if possible, 45° SCEA,
1/32 in. nose radius.
Tool holder: 5° pos. back rake, 5° pos. side rake.
Speed: 95-110 sfm, 0.005-0.007 in. feed, 0.040 in. depth of cut.
Dry or water-base coolant. |

| NOTES: |
1. |
M-40 series High Speed Steels include M-41, M-42, M-43, M-44, M-45 and M-46 at the time of writing. Others may be added and should be equally suitable. |
|
2. |
Oil coolant should be a premium quality, sulfochlorinated oil with extreme pressure additives. A viscosity at 100°F from 50 to 125 SSU. |
|
3. |
Water-base coolant should be premium quality, sulfochlorinated water soluble oil or chemical emulsion with extreme pressure additives. Dilute with water to make
15:1 mix. Water-base coolant may cause chipping and rapid failure of carbide tools in interrupted cuts. |
|
4. |
SCEA - Side cutting edge angle or lead angle of the tool. |
|
5. |
At any point where dry cutting is recommended, an air jet directed on the tool may provide substantial tool life increase. A water-base coolant mist may also be effective. |
