| Summary: | Cutting tests were conducted to medium carbon steel using HSS tools with cutting fluid. The
experimental design used was based on response surface methodology (RSM) using a central composite
design. Chips were collected at different machining conditions and thickness and microhardness
measurements taken and analyzed using “DESIGN EXPERT 7” experimental design software. Mathematical models of the
responses (thickness and microhardness) as functions of the conditions (speed, feed, and depth of cut)
were obtained and studied. The resultant second-order models show chip thickness increases when
increasing feed and speed, while increasing depth of cut resulted in a little effect on chip thickness.
Chip microhardness increases with increasing depth of cut. It also increases with
increasing speed and feed up to a certain level beyond which further increases cause a drop in
microhardness. |
