Ultra-High Surface Speed for Metal Removal, Artillery Shell

Abstract

Four types of steel (AISI 1340, 4140, 4340, and HF-1) which are commonly used in large caliber projectile manufacture were machined with five types of tools at different hardness ranges representing the as-forged and the heat-treated condition. Results show that machining speeds can be increased significantly over current practice using the present available tooling.
