Finite element simulation and experimental validation of machining martensitic stainless steel using multi-layered coated carbide tools for industry-relevant outcomes

Martensitic stainless steel is widely used where there is a need for strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. But the machinability of this steel is difficult because of its poor thermal conductivity, as it leads to high tool wear. Application of coating on the cutting tool is one of the sustainable techniques utilized in improving the machinability of work material. But the problem in the application of the coated tool is the determination...
