Experimental Investigation of Machining Parameters during Turning of AISI 316L Stainless Steel Using Nano Cutting Environment

Abstract:

In modern machining processes, there are continuous cost pressures and high quality expectations in the product. Hence, it is required to explore the techniques that can reduce the cost and also increase the quality of the product. In the present work, machining performance of AISI 316L SS is assessed by the performing turning operation under nano cutting environment. Experiments have been carried out by plain turning of 48mm diameter and 600mm long rod of AISI 316L stainless steel on all geared lathe at different cutting velocities and feeds under wet machining with and without Carbon nano Tubes (CNT) inclusions using carbide inserts. The effect of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut on tool chip interface temperature and surface roughness are analysed using Taguchi method. Furthermore, using analysis of variance method, significant contributions of process parameters have been determined. Experimental results reveal that feed rate and cutting speed are the dominant variables on responses.
