Alloy R-405 Machinability

Alloy R-405 has a very good machinability. High speed tool should be utilized with oil base lubricants.

Turning is done at rates of 140-160 surface feet per minute with a good rate of approximately 0.004 in. /revolution. Drilling is done at 50-65 surface feet for each min. with feed of 0.003 in. /revolution.

Alloy R-405 is predominantly utilized for programmed screw-machine stock and it not for the most part recommended for different applications. Screw machine stock for fasteners and comparable high production run items.
