This master's thesis analyzes the machinability of austenitic stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 from the aspect of chip adequacy and tool life. The introductory chapter describes the theoretical foundations that help with the understanding of the problem. In the following, the experimental system and the course of the practical research work are presented. First the experiment where we checked the influence of the cutting edge radius and the geometry of different cutting inserts on the tool life was carried out. Followed by an experiment in which we optimized the turning process in terms of the chip breakability. As a result of the experimental work, we were able to determine the best cutting insert and its optimal parameters for our rough turning process.
