Abstract
The concept of hard turning has gained considerable attention in the recent years in metal cutting as it can apparently replace the traditional process cycle, which comprises rough turning and heat treatment. As tool life is affected in hard turning process, it requires more cutting fluid. The present work deals with comparative performance of different tools in conventional dry turning process by varying speed, feed and depth of cut. Tool tip temperature, surface roughness and tool wear are measured for different cutting conditions. The relative influence of the different process parameters on cutting performance in machinability of hardened steel with minimum fluid application is analyzed.
