ASTM A29/A29M 5155 Material Machining Technology
The cutting forces and heat generated during machining should be kept at a minimum to prevent part deformation. The use of moderate amounts of cutting fluid can help to reduce cutting forces and promote chip evacuation. It can also improve tool life by preventing wear and heat damage to the cutting edges.
