What is "Machinability, Machinability Rating"?
Determines acceptibility of a tool for the workpiece to be machined. Indicated workpiece's hardness, chyemical composition, and qualities, microstructure, propensity to workharden, elasticity, and propensity to be worked cold. In general, the harder a material, the higher it's machinability rating. A material's machinability also is impacted by the type, and age of machine, its power and rigidity, and the cutting tool used.
