Experimental Investigation on Effect of High Pressure Coolant with Various Cutting Speed and Feed on Surface Roughness in Cylindrical Turning of AISI 1060 Steel Using Carbide Insert

Abstract:

Providing sufficient provisions to transfer heat from the work-tool interface is a key to improve tool life and surface integrity. With the conventional flood cooling system where the coolant is directed towards the work-tool interface at very low pressure, there are possibilities for the coolant to get heated up and produce vapors which in turn insulates the cutting zone from the coolant. This reduces the purpose of coolant. Supplying coolant at very high pressure and very high velocity may provide the best control to reduce cutting temperature and tool wear and correspondingly increases tool life. This paper deals with an experimental investigation on the effect of high pressure coolant on surface finish in cylindrical turning of AISI 1060 Steel using tungsten carbide turning insert. Surface Roughness values are captured with different cutting speed and feed rates with high pressure and low pressure coolant supply. It is observed that there was a considerable improvement in surface finish with the use of high-pressure coolant (HPC) under various cutting speed and feed rate.
