Stainless Steel: Doubling milling speeds Last year alone, according to estimates by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF), more than 24 million tonnes of stainless steel were produced worldwide. Additionally, its proportion of the total steel production of 1.22 billion tonnes is steadily rising. Steel alloys of this kind are used for many different applications in very different industries as a result of their extreme corrosion resistance. When it comes to machining, however, the challenge always remains the same: these alloys subject tools to extreme stresses and strains. At the company ABZ Terodde in Bocholt, for example, large numbers of machine components are manufactured from stainless steel. LMT experts recently achieved a spectacular reduction in the company’s machining tim
