Assessing Cutting Fluid as a Key Parameter in Evaluating Surface Finish for CNC Turning Operation

The tool work piece combination of the Raw material HCHCr with cemented carbide and CBN tools shall be explored in this work. The parameters – Speed, Feed and Depth of cut to be maintained for HCHCr shall be determined in terms of optional values or levels for each of the tool type. Historic data shall be referred from the records of the company to understand the effect of introducing variation in the input to realize a given output as a ‘Response’ for surface finish. Statistical data analysis shall be performed using ANOVA, DOE and Regression to identify the given machining parameters for the operation. Experimental run shall be conducted for validating the values realized through this Analytical treatment of the data. Surface roughness tester shall be employed for determining the response. Recommendation to be offered at the concluding phase of this work in terms of the ‘optional set of values’ for the process parameters.
