Cutting tool for turning operation

[BharadwajIn]

I am working on optimisation of process parameters in maraging steels using taguchi method. In this connection would anyone suggest me suitable cutting tool for turning maraging steel samples. Maraging steel i am using is 18Ni1700. Thanks in advance

What is suggested by Latrobe and Allvac? Look in their alloy guides.

Sandvik Coromant recommends CVD-coated tungsten carbide with elevated toughness, e.g. GC2025.

It depends quite a bit on the particulars:
[ul]
[li]alloy in the solution treated condition (soft) or aged condition (hard)?[/li]
[li]rough or finish turning?[/li]
[li]coolant or dry?[/li]
[/ul]
