Machining is the process where the material on the surface of the workpiece is being removed through application of force and relative moment. Machining process involves a lot of process parameters. The utmost important thing in machining process is to achieve accurate dimensions and good surface finish where its lead to produce the high-quality product. A good surface finish is one of the factors that greatly influence manufacturing cost and also describes the geometry of the machined surface combine with the surface texture. This experimental research has been conducted in order to determine the optimum parameter involved that could affect the Concentricity and Coaxiality value by using Taguchi Method. To select the cutting parameters properly, the researcher collects the previous study to select the cutting parameters involving in Boring Operation of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Lathe machine. Based on the collected previous study, it is shown that best cutting parameters used for the boring process are cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut and using these cutting parameters as the controllable factor in this experiment. The researcher also uses the different type of materials which are Aluminum Alloy 6061, Mild Steel and Carbon Steel. This experiment also used only one type of cutting tools which is cemented coated carbide. Taguchi Method approach has been used to achieve the best-intended models and analyze the optimum parameter for the boring process by measure its concentricity and coaxiality of the workpiece. There are 9 workpieces been run in Conventional Lathe machine after been designed from the Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and main effect plot been analyzed to find out the significant factor that affects the concentricity and coaxiality.

An experiment of face milling of Invar36 was conducted by using coated carbide insert, the microhardness was tested and the metallographic structure was observed to figure out the principles of work-hardening. The results showed that the depth of work-hardening ranges from 80μm to 160μm among the parameters selected in the experiments. The degree and the depth of work-hardening were significantly affected by the axial depth of cut and feed per tooth. The degree and the depth of work-hardening showed a tendency to increase with the increase of the axial depth of cut and feed per tooth. Compared with the axial depth of cut and feed per tooth, cutting speed had less influence on the degree and depth of work-hardening. The degree and depth of work- hardening decreased slowly with the increase of cutting speed. Metallographic observation showed that work-hardening layer consisted of the thermal force influenced layer and the force influenced layer, while the amorphous metallographic structure was observed in the thermal force influenced layer, and lattice distortion was observed in the force influenced layer.

Abstract Flank wear of multilayer coated carbide (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3/TiN) insert in dry hard turning is studied. Machining under wet condition is also performed and flank wear is measured. A novel micro-channel is devised in the insert to deliver the cutting fluid directly at the tool-chip interface. Lower levels of cutting parameters yield the minimum flank wear which is significantly affected by cutting speed and feed rate. In comparison to dry and wet machining, insert with micro-channel reduces the flank wear by 48.87% and 3.04% respectively. The tool with micro-channel provides saving of about 87.5% in the consumption of volume of cutting fluid and energy.

In the present work, the performances of TiAlN-, AlCrN- and AlCrN/TiAlN-coated and uncoated tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts are evaluated from the turning studies conducted on EN24 alloy steel workpiece. The output parameters such as cutting forces, surface roughness and tool wear for TiAlN-, AlCrN- and AlCrN/TiAlN-coated carbide cutting tools are compared with uncoated carbide cutting tools (K10). The design of experiment based on Taguchi’s approach is used to obtain the best turning parameters, namely cutting speed ([Formula: see text]), feed rate ([Formula: see text]) and depth of cut ([Formula: see text]), in order to have a better surface finish and minimum tool flank wear. An orthogonal array (L[Formula: see text] was used to conduct the experiments. The results show that the AlCrN/TiAlN-coated cutting tool provided a much better surface finish and minimum tool flank wear. The minimum tool flank wear and minimum surface roughness were obtained using AlCrN/TiAlN-coated tools, when [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m/min, [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm/rev and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm.

A wide range of particulate metal matrix composites (PMMCs) of alumina and aluminum powders was formed using powder metallurgy techniques followed by extrusions at various extrusion ratios. The machining characteristics of the extruded PMMC were investigated. Results showed significant effects of weight fractions of reinforcement and extrusion ratios on tool wear and surface integrity of machined surface. The wear rate of cutting tool decreased rapidly with increasing the cutting parameters: cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut, however cutting speed is shown to be more effective. Sudden breakage of tool inserts occurred when the experiment started at high cutting speed. Wear rate has also decreased by decreasing volume fraction of reinforcement particles. Coating carbide tools have significantly improved the tool life. Coated tools showed 5% decrease in flank wear size compared to uncoated tools. This was valid within tested range of weight fractions and extrusion ratios. The surface finish of machined surfaces deteriorated when coated carbide tools were used. However, surface finish did not change significantly when volume fractions or extrusion ratios were altered.

An experimental study on milling of Invar36 was conducted by using coated carbide insert to characterize the cutting force. The Taugchi's design of experiment was used for experimentation and the cutting force regression equation was established based on the principles of probability statistics and regression analysis. The results showed that the cutting force was significantly affected by the axial depth of cut and the feed per tooth, and with the increase of the axial depth of cut, the cutting force increased very quickly. Compared with the axial depth of cut, radial depth of cut and cutting speed had less influence on the cutting force. The established regression equation was highly reliable.

The experimental investigations of the tool wear in turning of EN 31 alloy steel at different cutting parameters are reported in this paper. Mathematical model has been developed for flank wear using response surface methodology. This mathematical model correlates independent cutting parameters viz. cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut with dependent parameters of flank wear. This model is capable of estimating the tool wear at different cutting conditions. The central composite design has been used to plan the experiments. Coated carbide inserts have been used for turning EN 31 alloy steel. Results revealed that cutting speed is the most significant factor effecting flank wear, followed by depth of cut and feed rate. Flank wear increases with increase in all the three cutting parameters.

Tool vibration and surface roughness are two important parameters which affect the quality of the component and tool life which indirectly affect the component cost. In this paper, the effect of cutting parameters on tool vibration, and surface roughness has been investigated during end milling of EN-31 tool steel. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been used to develop mathematical model for predicting surface finish, tool vibration and tool wear with different combinations of cutting parameters. The experimental results show that feed rate is the most dominating parameter affecting surface finish, whereas cutting speed is the major factor effecting tool vibration. The results of mathematical model are in agreement with experimental investigations done to validate the mathematical model.
