Investigation of The Chip Formed as a Result of Machining of GGG50 Casting Material by Turning Method

Abstract

– In this study, the relationship between the chips formed during the machining of GGG50 materialby turning method in different parameters was investigated. GGG50 material is spheroidal graphite castiron, which can melt at low temperatures and has high wear resistance. Silicon, which is present at the rateof 2-4% in cast iron, causes the carbon to be found in the form of graphite leaflets, which facilitates themachinability of the material. Chips reflect the machining properties of the material in the manufacturingindustry and are also responsible for removing heat from the cutting zone. It also plays an important role inmeasuring the machining capabilities and strengths of cutting tools. In the experiments, three main factorsaffecting the state of the chips in the turning process were discussed. These are cutting speed, depth of cutand feed rate. As a result of the study, the most important parameter affecting the chips in the turning ofthe GGG50 material in terms of thickness was determined as the cutting speed. The results of theseexperiments are expected to guide future studies in the manufacturing sector.
