Abstract
Hard machining of components has been a new attraction in the field of manufacturing, as it avoids the need for multiple cost inculcation processes for a single part. Hard machining attracts a wide attention to the researchers because of the usage of hard tools, tougher machinery and enormous quantities of cutting fluids. Optimized use of any of these functionaries’ can result in reduction of cost as well as safer and clean working environments. In this research new cutting fluid reduction processes were compared along with the use of hard metal inserts. These two methods suggest an enormous amount of cost reduction along with cleaner shop floor. Minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) and minimal cutting fluid application (MCFA) capacities in cutting fluid reduction as mentioned by various researchers in past two decades. These methods were compared in this research paper for finding out the best possible system. Flank wear is considered as a crucial parameter in hard machining as the wear rate affects other deserving product qualities such as surface finish and job profiles. In this research tungsten carbide coated hard metal inserts were used instead of conventional CBN or diamond tipped tools, which are of higher in price margin. The study comprised of Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array, which was advised by previous researchers as good tool for optimisation. MQL and MCFA assisted experimentation were performed with same cutting conditions, which were then again compared with dry hard machining and wet machining. Influence of each input parameters where critically evaluated using ANOVA. The results revealed that a promising reduction in tool wear was noticed in MCFA assisted hard machining.
