Cutting characteristics of duplex stainless cast steel X2CrNiMoN25-7-3

抄録

X2CrNiMoN25-7-3 duplex stainless steel is suitable for chloride-containing environments such as seawater because it has excellent pitting corrosion resistance. Duplex stainless cast steel is often used to accommodate the complexity of part geometry at joints. However, machining after casting is indispensable. This study evaluated the cutting characteristics of stainless cast steel. Adhesion of the cutting edge was weak at high cutting speeds, but tool wear was large. Diffusion and reactions between the workpieces and the tool edge were investigated. Slight interdiffusion and a reaction phase were observed, but the bondability was low.
