Parametric Investigation of Turning Process on En-31 Steel

Abstract

Turning is widely used machining process in industrial area. This study deals with an investigation of turning process parameters on steel. Experiments have been conducted using factorial design, to study the effect of machining parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool nose radius and lubricant on surface roughness while turning En-31 steel. The Results have been analyzed by the variance technique and the F-test, showing thereby that the cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool nose radius and lubricants have significant effect on measured surface roughness during turning steel.
