Inferior surface quality is a significant problem faced by machinist. The purpose of this study is to present a surface texture analysis undertaken as part of machinability assessment of Super Austenitic Stainless Steel alloy-AL6XN. The surface texture analysis includes measuring the surface roughness and investigating the microstructural behaviour of the machined surfaces. Eight milling trials were conducted using combination of cutting parameters under wet machining. An optical profilometer (noncontact) was used to evaluate the surface texture at three positions. The surface texture was represented using the parameter, average surface roughness. Scanning Electron Microscope was utilised to inspect the machined surface microstructure and correlate the microstructure with the surface roughness. Results showed that maximum roughness values recorded at the three positions in the longitudinal direction (perpendicular to the machining grooves) were 1.21 μm (trial 1), 1.63 μm (trial 6), and 1.68 μm (trial 7), respectively, whereas the roughness values were greatly reduced in the lateral direction. Also, results showed that the feed rate parameter significantly influences the roughness values compared to the other cutting parameters. The microstructure of the machined surfaces was distorted by the existence of cracks, deformed edges, and bands and wear deposition due to machining process.

This research studied the influence of cutting fluids and cutting parameters on the surface roughness for stainless steel worked by turning machine in dry and wet cutting cases. The work was done with different cutting speeds, and feed rates with a fixed depth of cutting. During the machining process, heat was generated and effects of higher surface roughness of work material. In this study, the effects of some cutting fluids, and dry cutting on surface roughness have been examined in turning of AISI316 stainless steel material. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) instead of other soluble oils has been used and compared to dry machining processes. Experiments have been performed at four cutting speeds (60, 95, 155, 240) m/min, feed rates (0.065, 0.08, 0.096, 0.114) mm/rev. and constant depth of cut (0.5) mm. The amount of decrease in Ra after the used suggested mixture arrived at (0.21µm), while Ra exceeded (1µm) in case of soluble oils This means the suggested mixture gave the best results of lubricating properties than other cases.

Machining performance consists to associate the optimal process and cutting parameters and maximum material removal rate with the most appropriate tool while controlling the machined surface state. This work verifies the influence of standard and wiper cutting tools on generated surface roughness and residual stress in dry finish turning operation of the martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 in a comparative way. Tests are conducted for different combinations of tool nose geometry, feed rate and depth of cut being analyzed through the Design of Experiments regarding to surface roughness parametersRaandRt. Moreover, the formation of residual stresses in the material (using the technique of X-Ray Diffraction) was evaluated after the machining process for these two cutting geometries and thereafter the result was compared between them. An ANOVA is performed to clarify the influence of cutting parameters on generated surface roughness, which outputs inform that cutting tool geometry is the most influent onRaandRt. It is concluded that analyzed wiper inserts present low performance for low feed rates. Regarding the analysis of the residual stresses it can be stated that for standard and wiper tools the values collected show that for finish turning the compression stresses were found. It can be observed that the greatest amount of compressive stress has been found for the standard tool.

Optimization Of Cutting Parameters

The application of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel in various industrial fields has been greatly increased, but poor machinability classifies AISI 304 as a difficult-to-cut material. This study investigated the tool wear, surface topography, and optimization of cutting parameters during the machining of an AISI 304 flange component. The machining features of the AISI 304 flange included both cylindrical and end-face surfaces. Experimental results indicated that an increased cutting speed or feed aggravated tool wear and affected the machined surface roughness and surface defects simultaneously. The generation and distribution of surface defects was random. Tearing surface was the major defect in cylinder turning, while side flow was more severe in face turning. The response surface method (RSM) was applied to explore the influence of cutting parameters (e.g., cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut) on surface roughness, material removal rate (MRR), and specific cutting energy (SCE). The quadratic model of each response variable was proposed by analyzing the experimental data. The optimization of the cutting parameters was performed with a surface roughness less than the required value, the maximum MRR, and the minimum SCE as the objective. It was found that the desirable cutting parameters were v = 120 m/min, f = 0.18 mm/rev, and ap = 0.42 mm for the AISI 304 flange to be machined.

In order to explore the cutting rule of hard-to-machine material austenitic stainless steel and to optimize cutting parameters, multiple sets of parameters of austenitic stainless steel cutting were schemed out by using uniform design method. Test cutting researches of cutting forces, surface roughness and cutting efficiency with these parameters were conducted under the condition of dry cutting. On this basis, multi-objective optimization model of cutting force and surface roughness applied to austenitic stainless steel had been set up by multiple regression analysis. Variance analysis showed that these formulas have highly significant linear relationship. Verification test is done under the optimal cutting parameters, and the results of cutting forces and surface roughness are in good agreement with the calculated. Turning efficiency is improved by 23.4%, compared with the actual cutting parameters of past production.

Super Austenitic Stainless Steel

The AL6XN Super Austenitic Stainless Steel alloy is a commonly used steel in corrosive environments and tough applications. This paper aims to investigate the execution of a machining process on the AL6XN alloy. A wet machining process has been executed to machine the alloy under a combination of various cutting conditions using an up milling approach. Two cutting speeds, two cutting depths and two feeds were used. The outputs obtained and listed in this paper are the microstructure analysis, surface microhardness and the chip morphology. The microstructure of the AL6XN alloy was revealed using Electron Microscope and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). Work hardening layer was located in the subsurface of the machined alloy. EBSD data assured that no phase transformation was occurred within the deformed microstructure due to machining. The chip cross-section was revealed to identify the presence of the shear bands and to calculate the alloy serration degree.

Super Austenitic Stainless Steel

This paper presents a study of tool wear and geometry response when machinability tests were applied under milling operations on the Super Austenitic Stainless Steel alloy AL-6XN. Eight milling trials were executed under two cutting speeds, two feed rates, and two depths of cuts. Cutting edge profile measurements were performed to reveal response of cutting edge geometry to the cutting parameters and wear. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to inspect the cutting edges. Results showed the presence of various types of wear such as adhesion wear and abrasion wear on the tool rake and flank faces. Adhesion wear represents the formation of the built-up edge, crater wear, and chipping, whereas abrasion wear represents flank wear. The commonly formed wear was crater wear. Therefore, the optimum tool life among the executed cutting trails was identified according to minimum length and depth of the crater wear. The profile measurements showed the formation of new geometries for the worn cutting edges due to adhesion and abrasion wear and the cutting parameters. The formation of the built-up edge was observed on the rake face of the cutting tool. The microstructure of the built-up edge was investigated using SEM. The built-up edge was found to have the austenite shear lamellar structure which is identical to the formed shear lamellae of the produced chip.
