Purpose: of this paper was to find out the machinability of two hard materials - AISI 440 C martensitic stainless steel and SCM 400 alloy steel. It was analysed by measuring surface roughness, tool wear, cutting force and specific cutting pressure. Design/methodology/approach: The approach was adopted using various operating parameters like cutting velocity, feed rate and a constant depth of cut. The results were obtained using various measuring instruments like surface roughness tester, dynamometer, scanning electron microscope. Findings: Machinability of materials was easy in machining SCM 440 alloy steel than AISI 440 C stainless steel. Analysis was done by having low specific cutting pressure, low tool wear and low surface roughness. Research limitations/implications: The research limitations on research was due to fast wear of tools while machining stainless steel than alloy steel even the same hardness was maintained. Practical implications: More number of experiments could not conduct due to fast tool wear. Originality/value: The materials used in this experiment were not used by most of the researcher. The results obtained can be used by the other researcher and may be references.
