TOOL LIFE PREDICTION OF TUNGSTEN CARBIDE CUTTING TOOLS IN TURNING PROCESS
Abstract. Cutting tools can be used when they do not reach tool life criteria and can produce parts with desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Flank wear of cutting tools is often selected as the tool life criterion because it determines the diametric accuracy of machining, its stability and reliability. Tool wear is defined as a gradual loss of tool material at contact zones of workpiece and tool material, resulting the cutting tool reaches its life limit. This article investigate the flank wear of tungsten-carbide plate (WC) during turning of C62D steel using design of experiments method. By using the multiple regression analysis between cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, it determines the effects of cutting conditions on Taylor tool life equation.
