MACHINABILITY AND TOOL LIFE

Machinability 





Machinability is a term indicating how the work material responds to the cutting process. In the most general case good machinability  means that material is cut with good surface finish, long tool life, low force and power requirements, and low cost.
It depends upon
The condition of the work material includes eight factors: microstructure, grain size, heat treatment, chemical composition, fabrication, hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength..

Tool life 




The tool life is the duration of actual cutting time after which the tool is no longer usable.
