Machinability of a few stainless steels widely used in automotive industry (1.4307, 1.4057, 1.4511, 1.4418 and 1.4104) has been investigated. The cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tools and lubrication) were varied, in order to determine the optimal combinations concerning the productivity and surface quality. The investigation results have demonstrated that stainless steels can be machined under optimized conditions with good quality and high productivity. Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of these steels as well as their current and prospective applications in the car and truck production are explained.
