Abstract

Environmentally conscious hard turning and technology have placed increasing importance on the machining process. Cutting fluids have a significant impact on the environment, thus numerous research works are being performed to minimize their use. However, tool wear is very severe in hard turning cemented carbides without the use of cutting fluids. In this research, the effects of dry and wet cutting methods (vegetable oil mist and mineral oil) and tool material on cutting resistance and wear characteristics of cutting tools were experimentally investigated to study the possibility of creating an environmentally conscious hard turning of cemented carbides. Mist and wet cutting of the cemented carbides using poly-crystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tools were adopted to investigate how tool wear on the basis of micro-cutting in the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) can be reduced. Additionally, the poly-crystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) and the usual cBN cutting tools were compared with the PCD cutting tools.
