EN 10083-1 1.7037 Material Machining Technology

Due to the high level of strength and hardness of EN 10083-1 1.7037 steel, it is important to use a lubricant during the machining process. Oil-based lubricants are recommended as they are better able to contain heat generated by the tools. Additionally, using slower rates of feed and lower cutting speeds will reduce the friction between the work piece and the tool, resulting in an improved finish.
