Machining Material Udimet B-300

Udimet B-300 is a Iron-based heat resistant superalloy (HRSA) material with a Machinability rating of 25% and Hardness of 470 HB.

Udimet B-300 has 67% iron, 18% nickel and additional alloying elements per the below table.

Iron-based superalloys are a more economical alternative to nickel-based alloys. They provide the same advantages but to a lesser extent and at a lower price. They are used mostly on less critical components that still require heat resistance properties. This sub-group is also much easier to machine realtive to the nickel and cobalt based superalloys

Superalloys should be machined with a positive and sharp cutting edges. Geometries that are suitable for austenitic stainless steel will also work well on HRSA. However, quality manufacturers will have in their catalogs additional geometries that are specifically designed for these challenging materials.

Summery:

  • For general Turning of Material Udimet B-300 at stable conditions use a grade with a Very Hard substrate and PVD coating.
  • For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and PVD coating.
  • For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.
  • Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 280 - 380 [SFM] / 85 - 115 [m/min].
  • Recommended Cutting speed range for milling with stable clamping and short overhang is 210 - 280 [SFM] / 65 - 85 [m/min]
  • For detailed cutting speed recomendations, check the Below Table, or use our Speed and Feed Calculator.
