Non Alloyed11 2 3C35, Ck45, 1020, 1045, 1060, 28Mn6Non-alloyed Steel Composition:Fe-C alloy (usually 0.1 to 0.6% carbon). Characteristics: Good machinability and high cutting speeds can be applied. When it has less than 0.25% carbon, it can be very stick reuirin ositive rake and small land insertsBuilt-up edge Crater
P Low Alloyed24, 6 5, 7 6 842CrMo4, St50, Ck60, 4140, 4340, 100Cr6y, qg p . Alloyed Steel Composition:Fe-C alloy (maximum 2.1% carbon) with additives like Cr, Mo, V, Ni, Mn, Co, W, etc. Characteristics:The variation in the amount of alloying elementsBuilt-up edge Crater
High Alloyed310 10X40CrMoV5, H13, M42, D3,and different heat treatments control features such as mechanical resistance and machinability. It’s important to follow the cutting speeds recommended according to the hardness of the steel, as it influences temperature as well as chemical and adhesive wears.Crater
11 11S6-5-2, 12Ni19High alloyed Steel have more than 5% alloying elements.
Austenitic414 14304, 316, X5CrNi18-9Composition:Alloyed steel, more than 11% chrome (Cr).Built-up edge Notch wear
M Duplex514 14X2CrNiN23-4, S31500Characteristics:Stainless steels do not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Usually they are difficult to machine because of its narrow range of cutting speeds. If the cutting speed is too low, the material sticks in the cutting edge, if it’s too high, theNotch wear Crater

Grey715 15 16GG20, GG40, EN-GJL-250, N030BComposition:Fe-C alloy with 2.1 to 5% of carbon. It can be alloyed with Si, P, Mn and Ni.Flank wear Crater
K Malleable & Nodular817, 19 17, 19 18, 20GG40, GG70, 50005Characteristics:Grey cast iron tends to be brittle, and malleable cast irons usually have a more ductile but less homogeneous micro-structure. Reinforced cutting edges will perform best. High productivity can be achieved by using high feeds.Mechanical cracks
Fe, Ni & Co based931, 32 33Incoloy 800 Inconel 700Composition:Iron (Fe) based, Nickel (Ni) based or Cobalt (Co) based alloys and Titanium alloys.
