Research on milling parameters of high carbon and high manganese BTW wear-resistant steel plate

    
    Introduction
    High carbon, high manganese BTW wear-resistant steel plates are widely used in the mining industry, due to their superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion and wear. The milling parameters, such as the cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth, are essential to ensure that the steel plates are milled correctly and without damage. This article will examine the effect that different milling parameters have on the wear-resistant steel plate, as well as the various approaches to optimize the milling parameters for increased productivity and fabrication accuracy.
    
    Cutting Tool Selection
    The cutting tool selection for wear-resistant steel plates is especially important due to the high strength and hardness of the material. Harder tools, such as high speed steel or high-performance carbide, are generally recommended for wear-resistant steel plates, as they are able to withstand the material’s abrasive nature and resist wear and tear. Cermet and ceramic tools can also be used, although these materials should be considered if the material being milled also demands an exceptionally high surface finish.
    
    Cutting Speed
    The cutting speed is an important milling parameter, as it dictates the material removal rate and tool life. The wear-resistant steel plates require a higher cutting speed than ordinary carbon steel due to their higher strength and harder surface. Numerous studies have shown that the cutting speed has a significant effect on the tool life and productivity when machining wear-resistant steel plates. As a general rule, the cutting speed should be increased as the hardness and strength of the material increases.
    
    Feed Rate
    The feed rate is another parameter to consider when machining wear-resistant steel plates. A higher feed rate has been found to decrease machining time, as well as tool life and surface finish. The optimal feed rate also depends on the cutting speed and tool selection, so care must be taken to ensure that the parameters are well balanced.
    
    Cutting Depth
    The cutting depth is the final parameter to consider when milling wear-resistant steel plates. A shallow cutting depth is generally recommended due to its beneficial effects on tool life, machining time, and surface finish. Cutting too deeply into the material can result in increased tool wear and reduced surface finish, which can ultimately lead to increased costs.
    
    In conclusion, selecting the right milling parameters for machining wear-resistant steel plates is essential to ensure that the fabrication process is efficient and accurate. By selecting the right cutting tool, increasing the cutting speed, optimizing the feed rate, and limiting the cutting depth, improved productivity and surface finish can be achieved.
