Mathematical Modeling Experimental Approach of the Friction on the Tool-Chip Interface of Multicoated Carbide Turning Inserts A. M. Alaskari and S. E. Oraby Department of Mechanical Production Technology, College of Technological Studies, PAAET, Kuwait (email: samyoraby@hotmail.com) ABSTRACT The importance of machining process in today’s industry requires the establishment of more practical approaches to clearly represent the intimate and severe contact on the tool-chip-workpiece interfaces. Mathematical models are developed using the measured force signals to relate each of the tool-chip friction components on the rake face to the operating cutting parameters in rough turning operation using multilayers coated carbide inserts. Nonlinear modeling proved to have high capability to detect the nonlinear functional variability embedded in the experimental data. While feedrate is found to be the most influential parameter on the friction coefficient and its related force components, both cutting speed and depth of cut are found to have slight influence. Greater deformed chip thickness is found to lower the value of friction coefficient as the sliding length on the tool-chip interface is reduced.
