The Prediction of Surface Finish in Turning Operations

  • Chapter
Book cover Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Matador Conference

Summary

A model for the prediction of surface finish in turning is presented. This model is based on an extensive series of experiments using various tool and workpiece combinations over a wide range of cutting conditions. In common with previous work it was found that for all the conditions tested there is a velocity dependent region and a velocity independent region with respect to the Ra value of surface finish. Contrary to theoretical predictions it was found that the Ra value is not inversely proportional to tool nose radius r and that it increases at low value of feed rate such that, in general, there is an optimum feed/rev for minimum Ra.
