The present study investigated the machinability aspects, namely, surface roughness, sound intensity, power consumption, and crater wear, during dry turning of hardened AISI 4140 steel (63 HRC) employing (TiCN/Al2O3/TiN) multilayer-coated carbide inserts under dry cutting condition. The relationship between machining parameters and output parameters was determined using the Taguchi design. The analysis of variance was employed to evaluate the contributions of input parameters on output parameters. The main effect plots illustrated the impacts of cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut on response variables. Results show that the feed was the most dominant factor that affects surface roughness. Increasing the feed value increases the surface roughness, power consumption, and sound intensity. In the other part of this study, the constant values for feed (0.3 mm/rev), depth of cut (0.7 mm), and cutting speed (150 m/min) have been selected to evaluate a tool life that has 0.3 mm crater wear criteria. The results indicated that multilayer-coated carbide inserts presented very good tool life and reached 0.3 mm in 90 min. The experimental study results showed that chipping and abrasion were found to be the significant wear mechanism during hard turning of AISI 4140 steel. The cutting speed was the most significant parameter on the tool wear, although high cutting speed results the good surface finish but adversely increases the tool crater wear.

Stellites are cobalt based super alloys. By virtue of their excellent physio-mechanical properties, stellites are highly regarded engineering materials. Stellites posses high corrosion resistance and wear resistance properties. This study investigates the Stellite deposition process and machinability of Stellite 6 deposited on steel subtrate. Stellite 6 was deposited onto a 4140 bar using a plasma transfer arc (PTA) system and machinability was assessed on the basis of surface roughness. A series of turning operations have been carried out on a conventional lathe using coated carbide inserts and surface roughness was evaluated by Stylus type Surtronic3+ instrument. The values of surface roughness were plotted against different cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut to display the results in graphical forms. Optimal cutting regimes were established against the best values of surface roughness.

This paper presents a study of the effect of Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube air cooling on surface roughness quality and power consumption when turning mild steel material with coated carbide cutting tool. The cutting parameters involved in this study were cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The cutting speed and feed rate were fixed at 160 m/min and 0.28 mm/rev, while the depth of cut was varied from 1.0 to 4.0 mm. During the turning process, the cutting temperatures were measured using an infrared thermometer and the power consumption was measured using a power and harmonics analyzer. The machined parts surface roughnesses were measured using a surface roughness tester. The results show that cooling using the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube air cooling reduces the cutting temperature and the power consumption, but the surface roughness results is better when cooling with environment air.

In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effects of cutting speeds and feed rates on surface roughness in turning of the Al %11Si and Al-11%Si-1% Bi die cast alloys. Experimental trials carried out on a CNC machine using coated carbide inserts (PVD). Three different cutting speeds, 70, 130 and 250 m/min and three feed rates 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 mm/rev were used with a 0.15 mm constant depth of cut for all experiments. Additionally scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to clarify the different types of silicon morphology. Results revealed that surface roughness increased with increasing feed rate from 0.05 to 0.15 mm/rev and decreased with increasing cutting speed from 70 to 250 m/min. The result showed that workpiece containing Bi had the best surface roughness with lamellar silicon shape in comparison with aluminium-silicon with flake-silicon shape.

In this study, the effect of cutting parameters such as the depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed and the number of inserts on surface roughness were investigated in the milling of the AISI 4140 steel. The optimal control factors for surface quality were detected by using the Taguchi technique. Experimental trials were designed according to the Taguchi L18 (21x33) orthogonal array. The statistical effects of control factors on surface roughness have been established by using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Optimal cutting parameters were obtained by using the S/N ratio values. The ANOVA results showed that the effective factors were the number of inserts and the feed rate on surface roughness. However, the depth of cut and the cutting speed showed an insignificant effect. Additionally, the First-order and Second-order regression analysis were conducted to estimate the performance characteristics of the experiment. The acquired regression equation results matched with the surface roughness measurement results. The optimal performance characteristics were obtained as a 0.5 mm depth of cut, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate, 325 m/min cutting speed and 1 number of inserts by using the Taguchi method. Additionally, the confirmation test results indicated that the Taguchi method was very prosperous in the optimization of the machining parameters to obtain the minimum surface roughness in the milling of the AISI 4140 steel.

In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the performance of multilayer coated carbide inserts during dry turning of hardened EN24 steel (47 HRC). The effect of machining parameters (depth of cut, feed and cutting speed) on surface roughness parameters (Ra and Rz) were investigated by applying ANOVA. The experiments were planned based on Taguchi’s L27 Orthogonal array design. Results showed that surface roughness parameters (Ra and Rz) are mainly influenced by feed and cutting speed, whereas depth of cut exhibits minimum influence on surface roughness (Rz) and neglegible influence in case of surface roughness (Ra). The experimental data were further anlyzed to predict the optimal range of surface roughness parameters (Ra and Rz). Finally, second order regression models were carried out to find out the relationship between the machining parameters and surface roughness parameters.

In recent years, the necessity for energy in the manufacturing industry has become an important problem because fossil fuel reserves are decreasing in order to produce energy. Therefore, the efficient use of energy has become an important research topic. In this study, energy efficiency is investigated in detail for sustainable life and manufacturing. AISI 4140 material with high hardness of 50 HRC hardness has been applied cryogenic process to improve mechanical and machinability properties. In this experiment study, the effects of feed rate (0.04, 0.08, 0.12 mm/rev), cutting speed (140, 160, 180 m/min), depth of cut (0.05, 0.10, 0.15 mm) and tool radius (0.4, 0.8) on energy consumption, surface roughness and sound intensity were investigated. Then, a new mathematical model with high accuracy was developed. Total power consumption was calculated by considering the instantaneous current value and machining time. As a result, it is found that good surface quality obtained when the feed rate is low, and the tool radius is high and the machining time is shortened, the energy consumption is reduced due to the increase in cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate. Also, it is found that the tool radius has a limited effect on energy consumption, but low feed value increases energy consumption.

Hard milling of hardened steel has wide application in mould and die industries. However, milling induced surface finish has received little attention. An experimental investigation is conducted to comprehensively characterize the surface roughness of AISI D2 hardened steel (58-62 HRC) in end milling operation using TiAlN/AlCrN multilayer coated carbide. Surface roughness (Ra) was examined at different cutting speed (v) and radial depth of cut (dr) while the measurement was taken in feed speed, Vf and cutting speed, Vc directions. The experimental results show that the milled surface is anisotropic in nature. Surface roughness values in feed speed direction do not appear to correspond to any definite pattern in relation to cutting speed, while it increases with radial depth-of-cut within the range 0.13-0.24 µm. In cutting speed direction, surface roughness value decreases in the high speed range, while it increases in the high radial depth of cut. Radial depth of cut is the most influencing parameter in surface roughness followed by cutting speed.

As a typical high strength material, titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr- 2Mo-0.1Si (TA19) is used to manufacturing the compressor power-brake of aircraft engine and the aircraft skin. All the machining experiments were carried out on a CNC-milling center under the stable conditions of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The performance and wear mechanisms of coated- and uncoated carbide tools have been investigated in this paper to evaluate the machinability of TA19 in face milling. The three tools used were PVD-TiN+TiAlN, CVD-TiN+Al2O3+TiCN and uncoated carbide inserts. The results indicated that PVD coating had the best performance than other tool materials in milling titanium alloy TA19, and the cutting force and the wear value were the smallest than that for CVD-coated and uncoated tools. The failure types of PVD-, CVD- and uncoated inserts were the crater wear and micro tipping; the crater wear and tipping; tipping. Abrasive wear and adherent wear were the predominant mechanism of PVD-TiN+TiAlN carbide insert in face milling TA19 alloy. For CVD- and uncoated carbide, adherent wear was predominant.
