Machinability
15.1 Introduction
The term machinability refers to the ease with which a metal can be
machined to an acceptable surface nish. Materials with good machinabil-
ity require little power to remove material, achieve cutting at high speed,
easily obtain a good nish, and do not cause tool wear. The factors that
typically improve a material’s performance often degrade its machinabil-
ity. Therefore, to machine parts economically, engineers are challenged
to nd ways to improve machinability without harming performance.
Machinability can be difcult to predict because machining has so many
variables.
15.2 Conventional Machining
