High-performance cutting of GGG60 IRON in the automotive industry

Despite the widespread desire to produce lighter, cheaper and more durable components from light metal alloys and titanium, cast iron is still a material widely used in the mechanical industry as well as in the automotive industry. The parts used in the engine's instrumentation are mainly produced from it. However, the mass nature of production in the automotive industry affects the need to ensure high volume efficiency of the cutting process. In the world science literature there are many items regarding the selection of technological machining parameters for high-performance machining, steel, light metal alloys and titanium. In the case of cast irons, such works constitute a fraction of a percentage of the currently published works. Therefore, on the basis of the demand to meet the industry's needs and the cognitive intentions of the research team, the subject of experimental research was carried out and the results of which were described in the following article. The aim of the research was to determine the possibility of using one tool for roughing and finishing machining, taking into account only the possibility of changing the technological parameters of processing two treatments integrated in one operation.
