What kind of tool is used to process stainless steel?
Materials of knives for stainless steel processing: commonly used cemented carbide materials are: tungsten cobalt (YG3, YG6, YG8, YG3X, YG6X), tungsten cobalt titanium (YT30, YT15, YT14, YT5), universal (YW1, YW2). The toughness and thermal conductivity of YG cemented carbide are good, not easy to bond with chips, so it is suitable for rough machining of stainless steel; However, the hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, oxidation resistance and toughness of YW type cemented carbide are all good, which are suitable for finishing of stainless steel. When processing 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel, YT type cemented carbide should not be selected. Because of the affinity between Ti in stainless steel and Ti in YT type cemented carbide, the chips are easy to take away Ti from the alloy, which makes the tool wear worse
