The machining tests were carried out through turning method at various cutting speeds. The results indicated that heat treatment conditions and the cutting speed affected the surface roughness of samples. However, cutting forces were not affected by steel microstructure and cutting speed except to those of water-quenched samples.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHotwork tool steelHeat treatmentMachinabilityArticle10.1007/s00170-017-1426-32-s2.0-8503575005329585-8Q1295195WOS:000426055600107Q2
