Abstract
The cutting parameters such as the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, etc. are expected to affect the two constituents of surface integrity (SI), i.e., surface roughness and micro-hardness. An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of the CNC hard turning parameters on the surface roughness average (Ra) and the micro-hardness (μh) of AISI 52100 hard steel under dry cutting conditions. Nine experimental runs based on an orthogonal array of the Taguchi method were performed and grey relational analysis method was subsequently applied to determine an optimal cutting parameter setting. The feed rate was found to be the most influential factor for both the Ra and the μh. Further, the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the cutting speed is the most significant controlled factor for affecting the SI in the turning operation according to the weighted sum grade of the surface roughness average and micro-hardness.
