Understanding Quenched Steel Machining Challenges
Quenched steel (HRC50+) with martensitic structure presents unique machining characteristics:
- Exceptional hardness & strength
- Near-zero plasticity
- High cutting forces & temperatures
- Low thermal conductivity
- Minimal built-up edge formation
Quenched Steel Applications Industrial
This high-performance material is essential in:
1. Transportation systems
2. Wind energy components
3. Machine tool manufacturing
4. Mold & die production
Common applications include gears, bearings, ball screws, shafts, and precision molds.
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) inserts excel in quenched steel machining through:
- Superior heat resistance (1400°C+)
- Exceptional wear resistance
- Stable chemical properties
- Maintained cutting-edge integrity
