Machining Technology of A588 Weathering Steel Plate

A588 weathering steel plate is a low alloy steel plate resistant to atmospheric corrosion. It is made of ordinary carbon steel, and a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements such as copper, nickel, chromium, and phosphorus are added.

Due to the high value of A588 weathering steel plate, many manufacturers pay more attention to its application process. The processing technology of A588 weathering steel plate is as follows:

1. Drilling technology: Compared with ordinary carbon steel, the machinability of A588 weathering steel plate is reduced by 18%-25%. When drilling the A588 weathering steel plate, the cutting speed should be less than that of ordinary carbon steel, and the cutting amount should be about 10% lower than that of ordinary carbon steel.

2. Grinding technology: The grinding of A588 weathering steel plate is also required to be slow. When performing grinding, the grinding force and load should be relatively low, and cooling should be added.

3. Turning technology: When turning, coolant should be sprayed to prevent adhesion. As for the cutting speed, it should be slower than that of ordinary carbon steel.

4. Milling technology: The milling process of A588 weathering steel plate should also be slow and should be handled with care. For example, when a large work piece is machined, it should be milled first, and then polished, to better ensure the accuracy of the surface machined.

In short, although the machinability of A588 weathering steel plate is not as good as that of ordinary carbon steel, as long as the machining process is proper, it can be machined effectively and quickly. Only by mastering some necessary technical knowledge and having corresponding production and processing equipment can the quality requirements of A588 weathering steel plate be guaranteed.
