Investigations into machinability of lean duplex steel
Atinderpal Singh
Supervisor name: Junior Nomani
School of Engineering
OBJECTIVE:-
To find the behavior of newly developed lean duplex steels under different machining parameters. This would help
machinists for making various products from this steel in the future by using results of this experiment.

This experiment will help find to :-
1. appropriate cutting speed, feed rate and depth of
cut for machining these materials.
2. surface texture and cutting forces analysis
3. Tool wear and tool Life
(Duplex stainless steels are finding a lot of
applications in petrochemical and bridge construction
industries)

Conclusions:-
• Forces produced in 2101 are lesser than 2205
• Cutting forces increased with no. of passes
• After 8 passes, abrupt increase in cutting forces
• 2101 Gives finest surface texture as compared to 316L
and 2205
• Tool breakdown on 17th pass in case of 2205
• Tool wear 316L< 2101 < 2205
• Flank & chipping wear noticed in 2101 while spalling
in 316L and thermal cracking is predominant in 2205
