Review on Turning Process Parameters, Responses and Experimental Method of AISI 1045 Carbon Steel

Abstract

AbstractTurning process is one of the most important process in conventional machining process which using single-point cutting tool to remove unwanted materials however hybrid of multi-point cutting tool also available. This paper reviews the independent variable of turning parameters toward various dependent variables. From previous studies on AISI 1045 steel, it was found that cutting speed was the most independent variable applied followed by feed rate, depth of cut, side cutting edge angle and tool nose radius. Meanwhile, surface roughness, material removal rate and tool wear were the most output dependent variables. Others output dependent variables found in the research studied were cutting force, feed force, tool tip temperature, power consumption, chip morphology, specific cutting energy, surface integrity and sustainability aspects. Taguchi method, RSM and full factorial method were the most optimization approached in design of experiment. From the review, it was found that the range of independent variables studied by most previous researchers for cutting speed from 100 to 250 m/min, feed rate from 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev and depth of cut ranges from 0.25 to 0.75 mm. Thus, the enlarge range of the independent variables can be suggested for future experimental work.KeywordsTurning processMedium carbon steelsDesign of experimentAISI 1045
