20.9 MACHINABILITY
The machinability of a material usually defined in terms of four factors:
1、 Surface finish and integrity of the machined part;
2、 Tool life obtained;
3、 Force and power requirements;
4、 Chip control.
Thus, good machinability good surface finish and integrity, long tool life, and low force And power requirements. As for chip control, long and thin (stringy) cured chips, if not broken up, can severely interfere with the cutting operation by becoming entangled in the cutting zone.
Because of the complex nature of cutting operations, it is difficult to establish relationships that quantitatively define the machinability of a material. In manufacturing plants, tool life and surface roughness are generally considered to be the most important factors in machinability. Although not used much any more, approximate machinability ratings are available in the example below.
20.9.1 Machinability Of Steels
Because steels are among the most important engineering materials (as noted in Chapter 5), their machinability has been studied extensively. The machinability of steels has been mainly improved by adding lead and sulfur to obtain so-called free-machining steels.


20.9 可機加工性
一種材料的可機加工性通常以四種因素的方式定義：
1、 分的表面光潔性和表面完整性。
2、刀具的壽命。
3、切削力和功率的需求。
4、切屑控制。
以這種方式，好的可機加工性指的是好的表面光潔性和完整性，長的刀具壽命，低的切削力和功率需求。關于切屑控制，細長的卷曲切屑，如果沒有被切割成小片，以在切屑區(qū)變的混亂，纏在一起的方式能夠嚴重的介入剪切工序。
因為剪切工序的復雜屬性，所以很難建立定量地釋義材料的可機加工性的關系。在制造廠里，刀具壽命和表面粗糙度通常被認為是可機加工性中最重要的因素。盡管已不再大量的被使用，近乎準確的機加工率在以下的例子中能夠被看到。
20.9.1 鋼的可機加工性
因為鋼是最重要的工程材料之一（正如第5章所示），所以他們的可機加工性已經(jīng)被廣泛地研究過。通過宗教鉛和硫磺，鋼的可機加工性已經(jīng)大大地提高了。從而得到了所謂的易切削鋼。
