Tool Wear in GGG50 Cast Iron Milling Environments
Abstract
In the present study, the impression of manufacturing parameters on cutting tool tip wear in the milling operation of GGG50 cast iron material with carbide coated cutting tool inserts was investigated. Taguchi orthogonal L18 experimental sequence was applied as the experimental design. As processing parameters; cutting speed, coolant and feed rate were chosen. In the test results, the amount of wear on the cutting tool tips was examined. Optimum processing multiparameters were determined by the Taguchi. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyses the effect of input parameters on the cutting tool tip. Consequently, it has been determined that the wear is high in the working environment where the coolant is open and the cutting speed is high. In order to keep the cutting tool tip wear at a minimum level, the most suitable machining parameters are; coolant = closed, cutting speed = 160 mm/min, feed rate = 0.3 mm/rev. It was determined that the tip feed rate had little impression on tool wear.
