Abstract
The work investigates the effect of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and rake angle on main cutting force during the cylindrical turning of mild steel, brass, and aluminum rod, using high speed steel cutting tool and palm-kernel oil as cutting fluid. The impact of lubrication on the coefficient of friction between the chip and rake face during turning operation, assuming a negligible friction between the flank and cut surface is measured. Experimental results show that aluminum at cutting speed of 4.15m/s and rake angle 9o gave a 33.3% reduction in coefficient of friction while brass and mild steel under the same cutting condition gave7.9 and 13.8% increase in coefficient of friction respectively. Findings at cutting speed of 4.15m/s and depth of cut 1.5mm gave 9.79% reduction, 46.7 and 20.8% increase in coefficient of friction for brass, aluminum and mild steel respectively while cutting speed of 4.15m/s and feed 1.8mm/rev gave a 9.2% reduction, 30.4 and 14.5% increase in coefficient of friction for brass, aluminum and mild steel respectively. Similar trend was observed by varying the cutting conditions on the workparts through different selected values. The effect of palm-kernel oil as a metal cutting lubricant is more pronounced on aluminum than brass and mild steel.
