The important portion of machining costs associated with cutting inserts and scraps induces the search for better effectiveness in turning. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study on the influence of tool flank wear on roughness indicators (arithmetic average roughness, root mean square roughness and maximum height of the roughness profile). The objective is to determine which of these indicators is best correlated with the cutting tool flank wear. In order to do this, specimens of AISI 1045 are machined until the end of life of a cutting insert. Significant, strong and positive correlations are found between all three roughness indicators and the tool flank wear. The most significant correlation is found with the arithmetic average roughness and the root mean square roughness of the profile. The choice of the end-of-life criteria for cutting inserts in industrial contexts is also discussed.

This paper details experimental results when turning Ti-6Al-4V using water-miscible vegetable oil-based cutting fluid. The effects of coolant concentration and working conditions on tool flank wear and tool life were evaluated. L27 fractional factorial Taguchi array was employed. Tool wear (VBB) ranged between 28.8 and 110 µm. The study concluded that a combination of VOs based cutting fluid concentration (10%), low cutting speed (58 m/min), feed rate (0.1mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.75mm) is necessary to minimise VBB. Additionally, it is noted that tool wear was significantly affected by cutting speeds. ANOVA results showed that the cutting fluid concentration is statistically insignificant on tool flank wear. A notable increase in tool life (TL) was recorded when a lower cutting speed was used.
