Effect of ageing on machining performance of grey cast iron and its compensation by cutting speed management
Grey cast iron is known for its poor machinability directly after casting, but attains excellent machining performance after ageing. The present work explores the impact of cutting speed on the performance of pcBN machining for non-aged material. Findings suggest that tool wear can be minimized by identifying an optimal cutting speed that supports the formation of a stable Al2O3 and MnS build-up l
