Comparative Analysis between Conventional and Dry Turning

Abstract:

In this paper, there is an attempt to monitor and evaluate machining parameters when turning 34CrNiMo6 material under different cooling and lubrication conditions. The machining parameters concerned are temperature of the cutting tool and the workpiece, level of vibrations of the cutting tool, surface roughness of the workpiece, noise levels of the turning process and current drawn by the main spindle motor. Four different experimental machining scenarios were completed, specifically: conventional wet turning process, dry cutting and two additional modes employing cooling by cold air. Experimental data were acquired and recorded by an optimally designed network of sensors. Experimental data were statistically analyzed in order to reach conclusions. According to the research that has been done, although, overall, minimum cutting tool and workpiece temperatures were observed under wet machining, cold air cooling is capable of achieving comparable cooling results to wet machining. The lowest values of surface roughness were achieved by wet machining, whereas the lowest level of cutting tool vibrations were observed under cold air cooling.
