Influence Of Machining Parameter On Cutting Force And Surface Roughness While Turning Alloy Steel

Alloy steels are preferred for manufacturing of machine parts owing to their physical and mechanical properties. However, these parts require turning operation to be carried out in order to obtain desired quality product. Components can be machined at minimum lead time, with higher machining parameters such as cutting speed, feed/revolution and depth of cut, which leads to increase in cutting force and surface roughness. Thus, the main objective of present research work is to study the influence of machining parameters on cutting force and surface roughness while machining alloy steels following IS03685 standards. The experimental results revealed that the surface roughness was low at 350m/min cutting speed and 0.15mm/revolution feed. The cutting forces measured around 35% greater while machining HCHCr alloy steel when compared to EN24 grade alloy steel. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
