Abstract
This study presents experimental result of surface roughness and chip-tool interface temperature developed during turning of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steels using TiAlSiN coated cemented carbide insert. TiAlSiN coating is deposited by Cathodic Arc Evaporation (PVD) technique. The work-tool thermocouple calibration set-up was developed. The air heater was used as a heating element at the work-tool junction. The experiments were conducted at cutting speeds in the range of 140 to 320 m/min, feed in the range of 0.08 to 0.26 mm/rev keeping depth of cut constant at 1 mm. The influence of cutting parameters and tool coating were investigated on the average chip-tool interface temperature and surface roughness. Experimentally interface temperature 979°C was observed at 260 m/min cutting speed and 0.14 mm/rev feed. The interface temperature in turning is strongly dependent on the cutting speed followed by feed and exactly reverse case was observed in case of surface roughness. TiAlSiN coating shows better performance and can be considered as a prominent candidate for the machining of AISI 316 work material.
