Tool Wear Analysis in Turning Using Different Inserts and Different Lubrication Systems

Abstract:

In metal cutting, increasing cutting spped and feed achieve higher productivity, but it will affect dimensional accuracy and surface integrity of the work surface, wear resistance and life of tool. Cutting fluids when appropriately chosen and applied will minimize these problems. This work deals with the optimization of process parameters in turning of EN24 and SS316L Steels with different cutting fluids with different cutting inserts under different machining conditions using Taguchi’s Robust Design Methodology. The control factors selected are machining environment, cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, work piece material and type of tool. Investigations are carried out on conventional lathe using the prefixed cutting conditions. Tool Wear and Surface Roughness are measured and anlysed using ANOVA and appropriate conclusions are derived.
