Abstract

Machining of AISI 4140 steel with conventional tools under dry cutting conditions, results in reduced tool life and poor surface quality due to their superior mechanical properties. The present work is focused on the machinability improvement of AISI 4140 steel material by reducing the decremental effects by employing the texture tool under wet condition. In the current work, new textured tools were developed by having circular pit holes over the tool rake face and the turning performance characteristics have been compared with both textured and conventional tools under wet cutting condition respectively. Results of the present study indicates that compared to conventional tools, textured tools significantly diminished the cutting temperature, tool wear and surface roughness to a maximum of 18%, 9% and 15% under wet cooling condition. Further, it has been observed that circular dimple texture design act as coolant storage under wet condition leading to better cooling condition at the cutting zone.
