The Von Mises Stress Generation during Longitudinal Turning of 304 Stainless Steel

Abstract:

The longitudinal turning of 304 austenitic stainless steel (ASTSTS) occurred on a lathe using a Tungaloy-made carbide insert (SNMG 12 04 08). The machining parameters were the cutting velocity, feed rate, and depth of cut (DOC). The machining occurs according to the L27 Taguchi design. The strain hardening index (n) and strength coefficient (K) were available by tensile test on the specimen. The chip reduction coefficients (CRC) and von Mises stresses (VMS) were experimentally available. The maximum CRC and the maximum von Mises stresses were for moderate speed, moderate feed, and moderate depth of cut. The SEM observation on chip surfaces at different experimental conditions revealed hardening behaviour for most of the experimental conditions. However, under the specific condition, extensive ductile behaviour was significant, which resulted in maximum von Mises stress generation. The application of design of experiment (DOE) methodology yielded the theoretical model. The trend of CRC found through the theoretical model showed a similarity with the curve-fitting trend from experimental data. However, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) model showed better adequacy in comparison to the other models in the present study.
