AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel is generally regarded as difficult to machine steels on account of their high strength, high work hardening tendency and poor thermal conductivity. The machinability of AISI 304 was investigated by some researchers using uncoated and coated carbide inserts, but its machinability using advanced cutting inserts like alumina was not explored adequately. Therefore, in this paper the machinability of AISI 304 is being evaluated by machining (CNC turning process) the work material using alumina inserts. The machinability is evaluated in terms of surface finish achieved on the work piece, tool wear encountered and tool life achieved by the inserts for various machining time and the cutting zone temperature generated during the process.
