Investigation of machinability characteristics on EN47 steel for cutting force and tool wear using optimization technique
MATERIALS RESEARCH EXPRESS(2018)
Abstract
In this experimental work dry turning process carried out on EN47 spring steel with coated tungsten carbide tool insert with 0.8 mm nose radius are optimized by using statistical technique. Experiments were conducted at three different cutting speeds (625, 796 and 1250 rpm) with three different feed rates (0.046, 0.062 and 0.093 mm/rev) and depth of cuts (0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mm). Experiments are conducted based on full factorial design (FFD) 3(3) three factors and three levels. Analysis of variance is used to identify significant factor for each output response. The result reveals that feed rate is the most significant factor influencing on cutting force followed by depth of cut and cutting speed having less significance. Optimum machining condition for cutting force obtained from the statistical technique. Tool wear measurements are performed with optimum condition of V-c = 796 rpm, a(p) = 0.2 mm, f = 0.046 mm/rev. The minimum tool wear observed as 0.086 mm with 5 min machining. Analysis of tool wear was done by confocal microscope it was observed that tool wear increases with increasing cutting time.
