In the metal cutting process, there are several types of workpiece materials. These materials have distinct cutting formation and removal characteristics, and it is important to understand these properties to cut the materials effectively.
According to the ISO standard, metallic materials are classified into six groups, each with its own specific processing properties. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive overview of each group.
The six categories of metallic materials are:
(1) P Steel
(2) M-Stainless Steel
(3) K cast iron
(4) N-Non-Ferrous Metals
(5) Heat resistant alloy S
(6) H-Hardened Steel
