machinability

This combination of machineability and good thermal properties have made it the material of choice in many engineering contexts.

At that time the DoD had already been successful in operating Information Analysis Centers for Metals, Ceramics, Hardware Reliability, and Machineability data.

Hafnium can be alloyed with small amounts of other elements; e.g. tin and oxygen to increase tensile and creep strength, iron, chromium and niobium for corrosion resistance, and molybdenum for wear resistance, hardness, and machineability.

The surface finish is sometimes used to measure the machinability of a material.

Lead is sometimes added to enhance the machinability of brass.

Therefore, steel has the best machinability with medium amounts of carbon, about 0.20%.

This material was chosen for its stiffness, light weight, machinability and stability.

The factors that typically improve a material's performance often degrade its machinability.

This leads to a rating method where higher specific energies equal lower machinability.

Plastics that are particularly soft and gummy may have machinability problems of their own.

It is weldable only through friction welding, and has average machinability.

There are many factors affecting machinability, but no widely accepted way to quantify it.

Applications where good machinability and good strength are required.

The carbon content of steel greatly affects its machinability.

However, most of these metals also decrease machinability.

Due to the low carbon content maraging steels have good machinability.

To enhance the machinability of brass, lead is often added in concentrations of around 2%.

When broaching the machinability rating is closely related to the hardness of the material.

In response, manufacturers have come up with alloys that rely on ingredients other than lead to enhance machinability.

Aluminum and brass are typical workpieces with good to excellent machinability ratings.

Instead, machinability is often assessed on a case-by-case basis, and tests are tailored to the needs of a specific manufacturing process.

Lead can improve the machinability of steel because it acts as an internal lubricant in the cutting zone.

Powder metal is also impregnated to enhance machinability.

The term machinability refers to the ease with which a metal can be machined to an acceptable surface finish.

Aluminium is much softer than steel, and the techniques to improve its machinability usually rely on making it more brittle.

Home electrical systems, for example, are wired with copper for its good conducting properties and easy machinability.

Aluminum, brass and plastics can have poor to fair machinability characteristics for cylindrical grinding.

It has a relatively low melting point, good fluidity, castability, excellent machinability and wear resistance.
