Thanks for your help,

I would treat as Stainless steel

Hi, a short google gave this: http://www.f51duplex.co.uk/. It seems 1.4462 is a high Chromium duplex steel. I would recommend to use coated hard metal tools for stainless steel machining.

Thanks for the info but I also found out what kind of mat. is it but it doesn't tell me the feed or speed I should use for a turning opration.

Turning with carbides you should be looking at around 28 surface metres per minute.

This 1.4462 mat is 318ln ss. I dont think it would be to far off from 316l ss.
so 60 fpm for hss 120 for uncoated cbd 180 for coated cbd. Light feeds with all tools, mat WILL WORK HARDEN so get in and get out. These numbers should work for turning as well, run part on stiff equipment if possible.

As you know in sst one of the big issues is not just the hardness, it is chewie, i agree with the 120 sfm and coated carbide inserts, but also the coolant used to machine this, I would reccomend direct cutting oil insted of a water based coolant, I am the manager for a company where exotic alloys are machined constantly, whenever we have materials like that we use direct oil, hope this helps.
Thanks

Make sure your tools are sharp and you don't over heat the material, or you will work harden the part and scrap it.

Start off with slow feeds and speeds and work up to desired conditions!

Go very light on tool pressure's
