Effect of Cutting Speed during Turning of Low Carbon Steel on Mechanical Properties and Surface Roughness

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to study the cutting speed effect on mechanical and surface roughness (Ra) of XC18 steel. Scanning electron microscopy, hardness and roughness tests were used. We have found that the cutting speed affects the surface layer of a workpiece, induces hardening of the surface, and increases the surface roughness.
