Analysis Of Surface Finish Characteristics Of En31 Alloy Steel Using Ccmt09t308pm4225 And Dnmx150608wm1525 Inserts Under Dry And Wet Environment
Dr. Sandeep M. Salodkar
Abstract
This study explores the surface finish attributes of En31 alloy steel during turning operations with CCMT09T308PM4225 and DNMX150608WM1525 inserts under both dry and wet machining conditions. The research aims to assess the impact of cutting tool inserts and machining parameters on surface roughness, waviness, and integrity. Experimental trials are conducted on a lathe machine, employing varied cutting parameters and lubrication techniques. Surface finish assessments are performed using profilometer and microscopy methods to evaluate machined surface quality. Influence of dry cutting and wet cutting on surface finish characteristics using CCMT09T308PM4225 and DNMX150608WM1525 inserts. Results exhibit notable differences in surface finish characteristics influenced by insert selection and coolant application during turning operations. The findings offer valuable insights for optimizing turning processes to achieve superior surface finish quality in En31 alloy steel components, thus enhancing their performance across diverse industrial applications.
