Study the Effect of Cutting Parameters on Temperature Distribution and Tool Life During Turning Stainless Steel 316L

Abstract

This paper is focused on studying the effect of cutting parameters (spindle speed, feed and depth of cut) on the response (temperature and tool life) during turning process. The inserts used in this study are carbide inserts coated with TiAlN (Titanum, Aluminium and Nitride) for machining a shaft of stainless steel 316L. Finite difference method was used to find the temperature distribution. The experimental results were done using infrared camera while the simulation process was performed using Matlab software package. The results showed that the maximum difference between the experimental and simulation results was equal to 19.3 , so, a good agreement between the experimental and simulation results was achieved. Tool life was decreased when spindle speed and feed were increased.

Monitoring and optimization of machining process when turning of AISI316L based on response surface methodology, artificial neural network and desirability function.

“…The impact of the machining conditions on flank wear and cutting temperature during turning of the AISI 316L has been studied by Akbar et al [4]. The authors found that with high Vc, f, and depth of cuts, the cross section of ships increase which led to increase the maximum temperature and tool wear, which cause a decrease in the tool life.…”
