Novel Approach For The Analysis Of Self-Propelled Rotary Tool Wear During Turning Of En31 Alloy Steel


Dr. Sandeep M. Salodkar

Abstract

The primary objective of designing and developing the self-propelled rotary circular tool holder is to explore the impact of circular tool and self-propelled rotational techniques on turning operations, utilizing the developed holder. Several considerations were taken into account during the design and fabrication process of the self-propelled rotary circular tool holder. These include ensuring the rigidity of the circular tool holder, allowing free rotation, accommodating different inclination angles for the circular tool, and selecting appropriate bearings to minimize frictional energy during rotation. With these criteria in mind, a self-propelled rotary circular tool holder was designed and constructed for potential application in the turning of En31 steel. An extensive experimental investigation is underway using the developed self-propelled rotary tooling system. The study aims to analyze the influence of machining parameters on flank wear and surface finish during turning operations on En31 alloy steel using the rotary tool.
