Recent Study on Hard to Machine Material – Micromilling process

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the modern advancement of micromilling as pertained to the machining process from recent research and advancement perspective. The review starts by displaying the characteristics and micromilling contributions background, and later sets up the reader to difficult-to-cut materials. However, the fabricating process usually becomes complicated owing to these material's unique metallurgical properties. This paper brings to focus the micromilling of difficult-to-cut materials, especially materials that are currently the highlights of various industries. The discussion of research and attributes of difficult-to-cut materials are covered in further detail, which serves with opportunities for future developments.

The Effect of Transformation Temperature and Holding Time of Bainite Structure Formation on S45C Steel

“…Bainitic microstructures offer the best balance between strength and ductility, compared with martensite phase which has very high hardness. Very hard materials tend to difficult to be machined or may need specialized machining process [5][6][7] . The cooling rate of bainitic formation is fast enough to increase the strength without producing brittleness.…”
