This report is dealt with comparison of machinability between SKD 11 which is JIS standard Alloy Steel, SKD 11 F-A which is added lead to SKD 11 and SKD 11 F-B which is added selenium to SKD 11.
In this report authors called SKD 11 as Base Alloy Steel, and called SKD 11 F-A and SKD 11 F-B as Free-cutting Alloy Steel. As the result of tests, the following has been found.
(1) For Free-cutting Alloy Steel, chips were curled with smaller curvature and cut in shorter length than chips of Base Alloy Steel. Therefore Free-cutting Alloy Steel were improved upon formation of chips.
(2) Free-cutting Alloy Steel showed smaller cutting forces and smaller coefficient of friction on rake face of tool than those of Base Alloy Steel.But shear stress on shear plane which were calculated with cutting forces, were almost same values between Base Alloy Steel and Free-cutting Alloy Steel.
(3) For Free-cutting Alloy Steel, tool-lives were improved in the range of low cutting speed (less than 80 m/min) but were not improved in the range of high cutting speed (more than 80 m/min).
In the range of high cutting speed, chipping wears were brought on the tools.
Consequently machining characteristics of Free-cutting Alloy Steel were improved, but the difference were not noticed between the effect of lead and selenium.
