While the AC6030M grade possesses extreme resistance to this mechanism, you can further minimize it by implementing a variable depth-of-cut strategies or using a toolholder with a large lead angle.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f7f7f9; border-left: 4px solid #47479F; padding: 12px 15px; margin-bottom: 0; border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #111111; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eQ3: How do I eliminate built-up edge (BUE) when machining sticky 304 stainless steel alloys?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #444444; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA3: Workpiece welding (BUE) usually indicates that the cutting temperature is too low, allowing the ductile material to weld itself onto the rake face.
