Automated Determination of MC Codes for Russian Steels in the ISO Classification

For Russian stainless steels, criteria have been developed for assignment to group M in the ISO international classification. An algorithm is proposed for determining the codes according to the Sandvik Coromant classification of stainless steels, on the basis of the grade of the material, the chemical composition, the hardness, and the method of workpiece preparation. The algorithm is implemented in the integrated CAM system for the KOMPAS-3D platform and permits calculation of the cutting conditions for imported hard-alloy tools.
