Abstract

In this paper, we report development of carbon nanotubes-based nanocoating on turning tooltip. Then the same tooltip was used in hard turning of EN-31 steel 48HRC. Taguchi optimization methodology was utilized in optimizing the most important machining indicator or output viz. surface finish. The input machining parameters taken in this study were a type of cutting tool, cutting conditions, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Taguchi orthogonal array L27 (OA) was selected for design of experiments. ANOVA and S/N ratio ‘smaller the better’ was used for analysis of recorded observations. The primary findings of this research were the effectiveness of the carbon nanotubes-based nanocoating as predicted by results. Depth of cut, cutting speed, cutting conditions, type of coating, and feed rate in the given order had a role in determining the surface finish. The characterization of carbon nanotubes-based nanocoating was done using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Tunnel Electron Microscopy.
