Investigation of the Effects of Machining Parameters on Surface Roughness, Cutting Temperature and Cutting Force in Turning AISI 52100 Bearing Steel

Abstract

AISI 52100 material is mainly used in the bearing industry. These steels offer high hardness, excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability. The higher strength makes it suitable for bearing applications, particularly in the automotive industry. In this study, the machinability properties of AISI 52100 steel were evaluated according to the turning process under dry cutting conditions at two different cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut. Machinability output parameters include cutting force, tool tip temperature and surface roughness. The machinability experiments were carried out using a full factorial design. A TiC coated cutting tool was used in the study. As a result of the study, high cutting speed generally caused less surface roughness than lower cutting speed parameters under the same environmental cutting conditions. It was also found that cutting force was better achieved under low feed machining conditions. It was observed that the most effective factor on surface roughness was feed rate, followed by depth of cut. It was concluded that the most effective parameter for increasing the temperature value is the depth of cut.

AISI 52100 Rulman Çeliğinin Tornalanmasında İşleme Parametrelerinin Yüzey Pürüzlülüğü, Kesme Sıcaklığı ve Kesme Kuvveti Üzerindeki Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

AISI 52100 malzemesi esas olarak rulman endüstrisinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu çelikler yüksek sertlik, mükemmel aşınma direnci ve boyutsal stabilite sunar. Daha yüksek mukavemet olması, özellikle otomotiv endüstrisinde rulman uygulamaları için uygun hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada AISI 52100 çeliğinin işlenebilirlik özellikleri iki farklı kesme hızı, ilerleme hızı ve talaş derinliğine göre kuru kesme koşullarında tornalama işlemine göre değerlendirilmiştir. İşlenebilirlik çıktı parametreleri ise kesme kuvveti, takım ucu sıcaklığı ve yüzey pürüzlülüğünü içermektedir. İşlenebilirlik deneyleri tam faktöriyel deneysel tasarım olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada TiC kaplı kesici takım kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, yüksek kesme hızlarında rulman çeliğinin işlenmesinde yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerinde azalma tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, düşük ilerleme oranında işleme koşullarında kesme kuvveti değeri azalmıştır. Bu da daha düşük güç tüketimi ile işleme verimliliğini arttırmaktadır.. Yüzey pürüzlülüğü üzerinde en etkili faktörün ilerleme miktarı olduğu, ardından talaş derinliğinin olduğu görülmüştür. Sıcaklık değerinin artmasında ise en etkili parametrenin talaş derinliği olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
