| Description |
In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate on surface roughness during machining of 7075 Al alloy and 10 wt.% SiC particulate metal-matrix composites. The experiments were conducted on a CNC Turning Machine using tungsten carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts. Surface roughness of 7075Al alloy with 10 wt.% SiC composite during machining by tungsten carbide tool was found to be lower in the feed range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm/rev and depth of cut (DOC) range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm as compared to surface roughness at other process parameters considered. Above cutting speed of 220 m/min surface roughness of SiC composite during machining by PCD tool was less as compared to surface roughness at other values of cutting speed considered. Wear of tungsten carbide and PCD inserts was analyzed using a metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Flanks wear of carbide tool increased by a factor of 2.4 with the increase of cutting speed from 180 to 240 m/min at a feed of 0.1 mm/rev and a DOC of 0.5 mm. On the other hand, flanks wear of PCD insert increased by only a factor of 1.3 with the increase of cutting speed from 180 to 240 m/min at feed of 0.1 mm/rev and DOC 0.5 mm.
