ASTM A512 Grade MT1020 Material Machining Technology
When machining ASTM A512 Grade MT1020 steel, a number of specialized tools are required. These include drills, taps, milling machines, grinders, and lathes. Drills are necessary for the creation of holes in the steel, and come in a variety of sizes and types. Taps are used to create internal threads, and usually come in sets of sizes and thread types. Milling machines are used to create flat surfaces and slots, and are available with a variety of cutting tools. Grinders are used to polish and smooth the surface of the steel, and come in both hand-operated and machine-operated models. Lathes are necessary for the creation of cylindrical shapes, and always require the use of specialized cutting tools.
