Machining Cast Iron GG35

GG35 is a Grey cast iron material with a Machinability rating of 100% and Hardness 235 HB.

Grey cast Iron is the most britle cast iron sub-group. It is the easiest to machine and produces tiny chips even when using a flat insert without a chip breaker

In Cast Iron, the material standards also define the allowed hardness range, and hardness is the top-ranking factor affecting the machinability ratings. For example, nodular cast iron is known to be harder to machine compared with grey cast iron. However, if a grey cast iron alloy has a hardness of 300HB is will have lower machinability than nodular cast iron with 200HB.

Cast iron is very brittle and produces short chips. Therefore there is no need for a sharp cutting edge, and a strong geometry with a large honing or K-land is the best choice.

Summery:

For general Turning of Cast Iron GG35 at stable conditions use a grade with a Very Hard substrate and CVD coating.

In case you are running at a cutting speed that is lower than 490 SFM (150 m/min), it is better to use a grade with a

Very Hard substrate and PVD coating.

For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and CVD coating.

For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.

Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 640 - 870 [SFM] / 195 - 265 [m/min].

Consider using CBN inserts. Although they cost more than twice, they enable increasing the cutting speed by 2-4 times (relative to carbide). Learn More ⇒

Recommended Cutting speed range for milling with stable clamping and short overhang is 430 - 590 [SFM] / 130 - 180 [m/min]
