Abstract

The silt face roughness in the turning of AISI 8660 hardened alloy steels by ceramic based cutting toots was investigated in terms of main cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut in addition to tool's nose radius, using a statistical approach. Machining tests were carried out with PVD-coated ceramic. cutting tools under different conditions. An orthogonal design, signal-to-noise ratio and analysis of variance were employed to find out the effective cutting parameters and nose radius on the surface roughness.
