Purpose: Purpose of this paper was to study the main effects of the turning in the superficial integrity of the duplex stainless steel ASTM A890-Gr6A. Design/methodology/approach: The focus of the work was the finishing operations and a complete factorial planning was used, with 2 levels and 5 factors. The tests were conducted on a turning center with carbide tools and the main entrances variables were: tool material class, feed rate, cutting depth, cutting speed and cutting fluid utilization. The answers analyzed were: micro structural analysis by optical microscopy and x-ray diffraction, cutting forces measurements by a piezoelectric dynamometer, surface roughness, residual stress by x-ray diffraction technique and the micro-hardness measurements. Findings: The results do not showed any changes in the micro structural of the material, even when the greater cutting parameters were used. All the other answers were correlated with the cutting parameters and its better combination was founded for the best superficial integrity. The smaller feed rate (0.1 mm/v), smaller cutting speed (110 m/min) and the greater cutting depth (0.5 mm) provided the smaller values for the tensile residua stress, the smaller surface roughness and the greater micro-hardness. Research limitations/implications: The correlation between all the answers was very difficult to analyze because there was great interaction between the factors, but for some data group it was possible. Originality/value: The paper contribute for the study of the super duplex stainless steel, considering that no one researches was founded for the studied topics in this material in witch presents different behavior in machining when compared with another stainless steels.
