In this study the characteristics of chip formation of the cold drawn Bi-S free machining steels were assessed. And for comparison those of the cold drawn Pb-S free machining steel the hot rolled low carbon steel which has MnS as free machining inclusions and the conventional steels were also investigated. During chip formation the cold drawn free machining steels show relatively little change in thickness and width of chip compare to those of the conventional carbon steels. And a single parameter which indicates the degree of deformation during chip formation chip cross-section area ratio is introduced. The chip cross-section area ratio is defined as chip cross-section area is divided by undeformed chip cross-section area. The variational patters of the chip cross-section area ratio of the materials cut are similar to those of the shear strain values. The shear stress however seems to be dependent on the carbon content of the materials. The cold drawn Bi-S and Pb-S steels show nearly the same chip forming behaviors and the energy consumed during chip formation is almost same. A low carbon steel without free machining aids shows poor chip breakability due to its high ductility. By introducing a small amount of free machining inclusions such as MnS Bi, Pb or merely increasing carbon content the chip breakability improves significantly.

In this study, chip-tool friction and shear characteristics of cold drawn free machining steels in turning were assessed. To do this, a newly developed equivalent oblique cutting model was adopted. And for comparison with those of free machining steels, chip-tool friction and shear characteristics of conventional carbon steels were also investigated. The Pb-S free machining steel shows superior machinability to others. In case of the Bi-S free machining steel, the shear stress and the specific friction energy are relatively lower than those of conventional carbon steels, but its shear strain is relatively high, so it does not show any remarkable improvement of machinability.

In this study, the chip breaking characteristics of S, PbS and BiS free machining steels have been assessed. PbS free machining steel shows the lowest value of chip thickness ($t_c$) under the same cutting conditions. SM10C steel has the largest value of the chip cross-section area ratio ($R_{CA}$). As the feed rate becomes larger the chip breaking cycle time ($T_B$) decreases and the chip breaking index ($C_B$) increases. The properly controlled-C type chip has been obtained with the value of $C_B$ between 0.05 and 0.2. Free machining steel, PbS produces the properly controlled-C type chip in a wider feed rate range than other steels.

In this study to assess chip breaking characteristics of cold-drawn free machining steels a newly developed non-dimensional parameter chip breaking index CB has been adopted. And for comparison with free machining steels chip breaking characteristics of conventional carbon steels were investigated. Properly controlled chips were produced with the CB value of 0.05-0.2 regardless of steel types. In case of cold-drawn free machining steels however cycle times of chip breaking are relatively shorter than those of conventional steels. And properly controlled chips were obtained from wider range of feed rate.

Drawing and normalizing are efficient means for controlling strength, fatigue and machinability of free machining steel. Normally strength and machinability are conflicting properties which need to be optimized. In this study, the effects of normalizing temperature and reduction of area on strength, fatigue and machinability were investigated. Fine grains were generated at lower normalizing temperature and fatigue life was increased with decreasing grain size. Matrix was work hardened and elongated with increasing reduction of area. Inclusions also were elongated and cross-sectional area of inclusions along drawing axis was decreased. The effects of work hardening and grain size on fatigue life were significant, but only work hardening affected machinability. Shape and distribution of inclusions after drawing had little effect on fatigue life and machinability.

Free-machining agent 'KSX' contains complex calcium oxide is developed. The effect of admix ratio of KSX on mechanical properties and machinability with two different cutting speeds is reported. KSX displays improved machinability without deterioration of mechanical properties up to 0.3mass% addition. It was observed that KSX is effective with a small addition of 0.1mass% at slower cutting speed, and increased of admix ratio is effective at faster cutting speed.

By the localization of electro-chemical dissolution region, we succeeded in a few micrometer size hole drilling on stainless steel with the radial machining gap of about 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Tens of nanosecond duration voltage pulses were applied between WC micro-shaft and stainless steel in the 0.1 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. Pt balance electrode was used to drill the high aspect ratio micro-hole without generation of Cr oxide layer on the machined surface. The effects of applied voltage, pulse duration, and pulse period on localization distance were investigated according to machining time. We suggested the taper reduction technique especially brought up on blind-hole machining. High quality micro-holes with 8 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 20 ${\mu}m$ depth and 12 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 100 ${\mu}m$ depth were drilled on 304 stainless steel foil. The various hole shapes were also produced including stepped holes and taper free holes.

High strength steel is similar to carbon steel in its composition. This material is developed originally for special uses such as aerospace and automobile due to its high strength and shock-free property in spite of lightness. But the chemical attraction of high strength steel is serious, which includes comminution of formation, metalization and strengthening. Machining results in built-up edge between this material and the tool. Especially the work hardening behavior results in tool life shortening, which was caused by temperature generation during machining. In this study, cooling system was made in which liquid nitrogen is supplied to circulate in order to make up for these weaknesses. Machining of high strength steels, which is recognized as difficult to machine materials, was conducted after tool is cooled at -195$\circ$C. Experimental results showed that the tool was cooled down rapidly below -195$\circ$C in about 200 seconds. The tool temperature of machining with cooling system was lowered by 60~95$\circ$C than that of machining in room temperature. The hardness of the surface of chip is decreased by machining with cooling system. And the machining using the cooling system made it possible to increase shear angle, to retain smooth surface on chip without built-up-edge and to get a better roughness.
