Thermosetting plastics are brittle and sensitive to thermal gradients during cutting. Their machinability is generally similar to that of thermoplastics.
Because of the fibers present, reinforced plastics are very abrasive and are difficult to machine. Fiber tearing, pulling, and edge delamination are significant problems; they can lead to severe reduction in the load-carrying capacity of the component. Furthermore, machining of these materials requires careful removal of machining debris to avoid contact with and inhaling of the fibers.
The machinability of ceramics has improved steadily with the development of nanoceramics (Section 8.2.5) and with the selection of appropriate processing parameters, such as ductile-regime cutting (Section 22.4.2).
Metal-matrix and ceramic-matrix composites can be difficult to machine, depending on the properties of the individual components, i.e., reinforcing or whiskers, as well as the matrix material.
20.9.4 Thermally Assisted Machining
Metals and alloys that are difficult to machine at room temperature can be machined more easily at elevated temperatures. In thermally assisted machining (hot machining), the source of heat—a torch, induction coil, high-energy beam (such as laser or electron beam), or plasma arc—is forces, (b) increased tool life, (c) use of inexpensive cutting-tool materials, (d) higher material-removal rates, and (e) reduced tendency for vibration and chatter.
It may be difficult to heat and maintain a uniform temperature distribution within the workpiece. Also, the original microstructure of the workpiece may be adversely affected by elevated temperatures. Most applications of hot machining are in the turning of high-strength metals and alloys, although experiments are in progress to machine ceramics such as silicon nitride.
SUMMARY
Machinability is usually defined in terms of surface finish, tool life, force and power requirements, and chip control. Machinability of materials depends not only on their intrinsic properties and microstructure, but also on proper selection and control of process variables.

20.9 可机加工性
一种材料的可机加工性通常以四种因素的方式定义:
1、 分的表面光洁性和表面完整性。
2、刀具的寿命。
3、切削力和功率的需求。
4、切屑控制。
以这种方式,好的可机加工性指的是好的表面光洁性和完整性,长的刀具寿命,低的切削力和功率需求。关于切屑控制,细长的卷曲切屑,如果没有被切割成小片,以在切屑区变的混乱,缠在一起的方式能够严重的介入剪切工序。
因为剪切工序的复杂属性,所以很难建立定量地释义材料的可机加工性的关系。在制造厂里,刀具寿命和表面粗糙度通常被认为是可机加工性中最重要的因素。尽管已不再大量的被使用,近乎准确的机加工率在以下的例子中能够被看到。
20.9.1 钢的可机加工性
因为钢是最重要的工程材料之一(正如第5章所示),所以他们的可机加工性已经被广泛地研究过。通过宗教铅和硫磺,钢的可机加工性已经大大地提高了。从而得到了所谓的易切削钢。
二次硫化钢和二次磷化钢 硫在钢中形成硫化锰夹杂物(第二相粒子),这些夹杂物在第一剪切区引起应力。其结果是使切屑容易断开而变小,从而改善了可加工性。这些夹杂物的大小、形状、分布和集中程度显著的影响可加工性。化学元素如碲和硒,其化学性质与硫类似,在二次硫化钢中起夹杂物改性作用。
钢中的磷有两个主要的影响。它加强铁素体,增加硬度。越硬的钢,形成更好的切屑形成和表面光洁性。需要注意的是软钢不适合用于有积屑瘤形成和很差的表面光洁性的机器。第二个影响是增加的硬度引起短切屑而不是不断的细长的切屑的形成,因此提高可加工性。
含铅的钢 钢中高含量的铅在硫化锰夹杂物尖端析出。在非二次硫化钢中,铅呈细小而分散的颗粒。铅在铁、铜、铝和它们的合金中是不能溶解的。因为它的低抗剪强度。因此,铅充当固体润滑剂并且在切削时,被涂在刀具和切屑的接口处。这一特性已经被在机加工铅钢时,在切屑的刀具面表面有高浓度的铅的存在所证实。
当温度足够高时—例如,在高的切削速度和进刀速度下—铅在刀具前直接熔化,并且充当液体润滑剂。除了这个作用,铅降低第一剪切区中的剪应力,减小切削力和功率消耗。铅能用于各种钢号,例如10XX,11XX,12XX,41XX等等。铅钢被第二和第三数码中的字母L所识别(例如,10L45)。(需要注意的是在不锈钢中,字母L的相同用法指的是低碳,提高它们的耐蚀性的条件)。
然而,因为铅是有名的毒素和污染物,因此在钢的使用中存在着严重的环境隐患(在钢产品中每年大约有4500吨的铅消耗)。结果,对于估算钢中含铅量的使用存在一个持续的趋势。铋和锡现正作为钢中的铅最可能的替代物而被人们所研究
