Examining the Influence of Cutting Parameters on Tool Life for Tungsten and Molybdenum During CNC Lathe Turning of Mild Carbon Steel When Flank Wear is Present
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of cutting parameters on the tool life of two grades of high-speed steel tools, Tungsten (T1) and Molybdenum (T2), during the turning of mild carbon steel on a CNC lathe. Experiments were conducted on mild steel rods (200 mm length, 30 mm diameter) at three feed rates (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm/rev), with a constant depth of cut (0.4 mm) using an 18-spindle rotational speed CNC lathe. Power and linear regression models were employed in MATLAB to determine and validate R² values. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to identify the best-fit model for experimental tool lives. Furthermore, chip-tool interface temperatures were modeled and compared with established literature to ensure accuracy and reliability.
