Abstract: The rapid development of industry is marked by the development and application of new materials with characteristics that broaden their applicable uses. Therefore, it is natural that advances in machinability attract a considerable interest even today. Precise and reliable information on the machinability of a material before it enters the machining process is a necessity and hypotheses must be tested through verification of actual methods. This article presents conclusions of machinability tests on austenitic stainless steels 1.4301 and describes appropriate parameters for the cutting zone during the process of turning. The article focuses on the analysis of selected domains through four basic some parameters of steel machinability.

Keywords: turning; cutting zone; plastic deformation; stainless steels; cutting tools; machinability; machined surfaces.
