Prediction of Tool Life During Turning Process Using Cemented Carbide Tool

The lubrication by the cutting fluid affects the surface finish of a workpiece and tool life in turning process. The proper lubrication ensures higher performance of the machine. Empirical tests were conducted to study the influence of the machining parameters on a single point cutting tool with redesigned geometry. Surface roughness on the rake surface of the tool was performed by compromising physical characteristics. Lubrication is used to improve the tool life in CNC lathe machine operations. Using both standard and specially modified tools, comparison of cutting force, temperature, power usage, and surface polish was carried out. Magnified photographs from the scanning electron microscope were used to test tool wear in various locations. The enhanced tool greatly reduced average cutting force, Temperature, and power usage during the experiments.
