Introduction Holemaking SMG - Introduction As example the reference materials EN C45E for SMG P4 and EN 42 CrMo 4 for both SMG P5 and SMG H5 see further details in the following tables. In SMG classi ﬁ cation of workpiece materials involves a speci ﬁ c material standard in a speci ﬁ c condition assigned as reference for easy and unambigious adjustment of cutting data for any actual material compared to any Seco reference material. As examples the reference materials EN C45E for SMG P4 and EN 42 CrMo 4 for both SMG P5 and SMG H5 shown below in table 1 where the reference level material property is indicated. The foundation for SMG is a classi ﬁ cation of workpiece materials based on their type rather than their relative machinability and consequently it contains workpiece materials like composites. It is comprehensive enough, but still easy to identify to which SMG a particular material belongs. Each SMG has a speci ﬁ c material standard in a speci ﬁ c condition assigned as reference to allow easy adjustment of cutting data for any actual material compared to any Seco reference material see pages 662-673. SMG Description Low-alloy general structural steels, 0.25% < C < P4 0.67%wt Low-alloy Quench & Temper steels P5 Structural steels, 0.25% < C < 0.67%wt Quench & Temper steels Properties 520 < R m < 1200 550 < R m < 1200 Reference C 45E R m = 660 N/ mm 2 42 CrMo 4 R m = 700 N/ mm 2 SMG Description H5 Quenched & Tempered steels Properties Reference 38 < HRC < 56 42 CrMo 4 R m = 700 N/ mm 2 Focusing speci ﬁ cally on EN 42 CrMo 4 in annealed condition, the ultimate tensile strength R m may typically vary between R m = 630 N/mm2 and R m = 780 N/mm2, which provide a reference level for SMG P5. In Quenched & Tempered condition, the ultimate tensile strength Rm may typically be between R m = 900 N/mm2 and R m = 1100 N/mm2 thus still belongs to SMG P5. However, if hardened above R m = 1200 N/mm2 it now belongs to SMG H5.

Drilling Reaming Boring Annex To further illustrate how the SMG P5 nominal v c can be adjusted to a more accurate recommended v c we need ultimate tensile strength Rm data and in this case we use the EN 42 CrMo 4 quenched & tempered to R m = 1000 N/mm2 according to above table (bold blue arrows). Assume that we ﬁ nd that the SMG P5 nominal v c = 280 m/min for a certain product and machining. Then, actual recommended v c = 280 m/min x 0,75 = 210 m/min. Consequently in the SMG H5 the nominal v c can be adjusted using the hardened EN 42 CrMo 4 at HRC 45 (smaller grey arrows). Assume that the SMG H5 nominal v c = 50 m/min for a certain product and machining using a coated cemented carbide tool then, actual recommended v c = 50 m/min x 1,2 = 60 m/min.
