Study the Effect of Fluxes on the Machinability of Brass(70/30) Alloy

Abstract

This research involves the practically study to defined the effect of the flux used to remove the inclusions content from the brass alloy (70/30). In this study three types of fluxes were used (A,B,C), in comparison to casting brass alloy (W) without using flux. The effect of metal purity on the chips shape resulted from machining brass alloys (70/30). The result obtained showed that the shape of the chips was continuous when machining the alloy produced by using the flux (A), while when machining alloy (W) shape of the chips was as broken due to the high percentage of the inclusions.
