| Abstract: | A design of experiment-based approach is adopted
to obtain an optimal setting of turning process parameters (cutting speed, feed
and depth of cut) that may yield optimal tool wear (flank wear and crater wear)
to titanium carbide coated carbide inserts while machining En24 steel (0.4% C),
a difficult-to-machine material. The effects of the selected process parameters
on tool wear and subsequent optimal settings of the parameters have been
accomplished using Taguchi’s parameter design approach. The results indicate
that the selected process parameters affect significantly the tool wear
characteristics of TiC coated carbide tool. The predicted optimal values of
flank wear width and crater wear depth of coated carbide tool while machining
En24 steel are 0.172 mm and 0.244 micron respectively. The results are further
confirmed by conducting further experiments. |
