Experimental Study for Turning AISI1040 Steel Using TiCN/TiN Coated Tool

Abstract:

AISI 1040 is a high quality, unalloyed medium carbon steel usually good ductility with resistance to wear. Tool wear (TW) and surface roughness (SR) are mostly considered as demanding phases, and thus causing poor results in machining operations. Optimization of cutting parameter is more crucial at this condition for improving the quality of the product. Taguchi method is the method to achieve a robust experimental design in the study of product quality is an important issue. The best factors/levels combination with lowest societal cost solution to achieve customers requirements look by Taguchi method. Various cutting speed, feed and depth of cut are taken as parameters. In this study single response optimization was performed in computer numerically controlled (CNC) turning AISI1040 with TiCN/TiN coated cutting tool under dry condition using Taguchi Techniques with the objective of minimization SR and TW. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for identifying the significant parameters affecting the responses.
