Low plasticity burnishing (LPB) is a new method of surface improvement, which raises the burnishing to the next level of sophistication. LPB can provide deep compression for improved surface characteristics. The study focuses on the surface roughness, micro-hardness and surface integrity aspects on soft AISI 420 STAVAX ESR martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 material. This material is pronounced as difficult to cut materials like titanium, Inconel 718 etc. The investigation of surface integrity was done on this materials in terms of operating parameters like sliding speed, feed rate and depth of penetration (DOP) identifying the predominant factors among the selected parameters. The steel balls used were cryogenically treated at sub zero temperature of -176 degrees. Sub-surface micro-hardness study were also done to asses the depth of compression altered zone, surface roughness and surface hardness. The process can be applied to critical components effectively as the LPB process has cycle time advantages and also low investment cost. This can be also realized by introducing on high speed machines. This process was studied by using cryogenically treated different ball diameters at various operating parameters. This also improved on concentricity of work material. More the depth of compression produced low surface roughness at low sliding speed, feed rate with larger ball diameter. The DOP also helps to improve on surface and sub-surface hardness and close roundness. There are limitations on DOP beyond which the surface deteriorated.

Post-treatment is crucial to improve the comprehensive performance of laser-cladded martensitic stainless steel coatings. In this work, a low-temperature tempering treatment (210 °C), for the first time, was performed on the laser-cladded AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel coating. The microstructure and properties of the pre- and post-tempering specimens were carefully investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, a micro-hardness tester, a universal material testing machine and an electrochemical workstation. The results show that the as-cladded AISI 420 stainless steel coating mainly consisted of martensite, austenite, Fe3C and M23C6 carbides. The phase constituent of the coating remained the same, however, the martensite decomposed into finer tempered martensite with the precipitation of numerous nano-sized Fe3C carbides and reverted austenite in the as-tempered specimen. Moreover, a slight reduction was found in the micro-hardness and tensile strength, while a significant increase in elongation was achieved after tempering. The fractography showed a transition from brittle fracture to ductile fracture accordingly. The as-tempered coating exhibited a striking combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This work can provide a potential strategy to enhance the overall properties of the laser-deposited Fe-based coating for industrial applications.

Machining performance consists to associate the optimal process and cutting parameters and maximum material removal rate with the most appropriate tool while controlling the machined surface state. This work verifies the influence of standard and wiper cutting tools on generated surface roughness and residual stress in dry finish turning operation of the martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 in a comparative way. Tests are conducted for different combinations of tool nose geometry, feed rate and depth of cut being analyzed through the Design of Experiments regarding to surface roughness parametersRaandRt. Moreover, the formation of residual stresses in the material (using the technique of X-Ray Diffraction) was evaluated after the machining process for these two cutting geometries and thereafter the result was compared between them. An ANOVA is performed to clarify the influence of cutting parameters on generated surface roughness, which outputs inform that cutting tool geometry is the most influent onRaandRt. It is concluded that analyzed wiper inserts present low performance for low feed rates. Regarding the analysis of the residual stresses it can be stated that for standard and wiper tools the values collected show that for finish turning the compression stresses were found. It can be observed that the greatest amount of compressive stress has been found for the standard tool.

AbstractThe cutting parameters such as the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, etc. are expected to affect the two constituents of surface integrity (SI), i.e., surface roughness and micro-hardness. An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of the CNC hard turning parameters on the surface roughness average (Ra) and the micro-hardness (μh) of AISI 52100 hard steel under dry cutting conditions. Nine experimental runs based on an orthogonal array of the Taguchi method were performed and grey relational analysis method was subsequently applied to determine an optimal cutting parameter setting. The feed rate was found to be the most influential factor for both the Ra and the μh. Further, the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the cutting speed is the most significant controlled factor for affecting the SI in the turning operation according to the weighted sum grade of the surface roughness average and micro-hardness.

AISI 420 stainless steel is one of the alloys that can be used in various applications due to its malleability, high strength, and weldability. In this study, the effects of cutting parameters (feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting speed) on the surface roughness were investigated during the turning of AISI 420 under dry test conditions using coated carbide and ceramic cutting inserts. Response surface methodology, analysis of variance, and statistical methods of the main effect plot were applied to investigate the effects of input parameters on response values. The results of this study showed that feed rate followed by the depth of cut had the most significant effect on output parameters. According to the experimental data, as the feed rate and depth of cut increase, the surface roughness increases.

This paper presents the influence of machining parameters namely cutting speed and feed rate on the machinability enhancement of AISI 316L stainless steel, in terms of surface integrity using end-milling with coated tungsten carbide tool (TiAlN). Optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and surface roughness measurement were used to analyze the surface integrity in terms surface topography and hardness test. A multi view approach is adopted to study the effect of different cutting parameters on the surface integrity of AISI 316L stainless steel. It was found that high cutting speed and low feed rate influence the surface roughness. Low surface roughness makes AISI 316L stainless steel more corrosion resistant which prevents wear of the implants.

The effects of different cutting parameters, insert nose radius, cutting speed and feed rates on the surface quality of the stainless steel to be use in medical application. Stainless steel AISI 316 had been machined with three different nose radiuses (0.4 mm 0.8 mm, and 1.2mm), three different cutting speeds (100, 130, 170 m/min) and feed rates (0.1, 0.125, 0.16 mm/rev) while depth of cut keep constant at (0.4 mm). It is seen that the insert nose radius, feed rates, and cutting speed have different effect on the surface roughness. The minimum average surface roughness (0.225µm) has been measured using the nose radius insert (1.2 mm) at lowest feed rate (0.1 mm/rev). The highest surface roughness (1.838µm) has been measured with nose radius insert (0.4 mm) at highest feed rate (0.16 mm/rev). The analysis of ANOVA showed the cutting speed is not dominant in processing for the fine surface finish compared with feed rate and nose radius. Conclusion, surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate surface integrity of quenched steel 1045 ground drily by the brazed cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel and the black SiC wheel, respectively. Surface integrity, including surface roughness, sub-surface hardness, residual stresses and surface morphology, was investigated in detail, and the surface quality of samples ground by two grinding wheels was compared. Design/methodology/approach In the present work, surface integrity of quenched steel 1045 machined by the CBN grinding wheel and the SiC wheel was investigated systematically. All the specimens were machined with a single pass in the down-cutting mode of dry condition. Surface morphology of the ground specimen was observed by using OLYMPUS BX51M optical microscopy. Surface roughness of seven points was measured by using a surface roughness tester at a cut-off length of 1.8 mm and the measurement traces were perpendicular to the grinding direction. Sub-surface micro-hardness was measured by using HVS-1000 digital micro-hardness tester after the cross-section surface was polished. The residual stress was tested by using X-350A X-ray stress analyzer. Findings When the cut depth is increased from 0.01 to 0.07 mm, the steel surface machined by the CBN wheel remains clear grinding mark, lower roughness, higher micro-hardness and higher magnitude of compressive stress and fine microstructure, while the surface machined by the SiC grinding wheel becomes worse with increasing of cut depth. The value of micro-hardness decreases, and the surface roughness increases, and the surface compressive stress turns into tensile stress. Some micro-cracks and voids occur when the sample is processed by the SiC grinding wheel with cut depth 0.07 mm. Originality/value In this paper, the specimens of quenched steel 1045 were machined by the CBN grinding wheel and the SiC wheel with various cutting depths. The processing quality resulted from the CBN grinding wheel is better than that resulted from the SiC grinding wheel.
