Investigation of Machinability Characteristics of AISI 316Ti Stainless Steel

In this study, many experiments of machinability were carried out on universal turning lathe. The cutting forces that occur during machining of workpieces were measured. A standard dynamometer was used to measure cutting forces. The Dynamometer were assembled on the lathe efficiently. An apart were designed and machined to assembly the dynamometer. Moreover, AISI 316Ti stainless steel parts were turned by carbide cutting tools coated with TiAlN components. Effects of cutting tools with different radius on cutting forces and surface roughness were investigated by using different cutting parameters. Moreover, machined parts' surface roughness was controlled. The experimental results showed that cutting forces increased with the increasing federate, but the surface roughness decreased with increasing the radius of cutting edge.
