Abstract
The aim of this research is to monitor the dry cutting, the wet cutting, and the mist cutting in turning process to select the most suitable cutting condition for the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool based on the consideration of the surface roughness of the machined part, the life of the cutting tool, and the use of minimum quantity lubrication. The dynamometer is installed on the turret of a CNC turning machine in order to measure the in-process cutting force. The in-process cutting forces obtained are studied and analysed for the machinability of steel under various cutting conditions. The experimentally obtained results showed that the relation between the tool wear and the surface roughness, the relation between the tool wear and the cutting force, and the relation between the cutting force and the surface roughness are correspondent with the same trend. The phenomena of the surface roughness and the tool wear can be well explained by the experimentally obtained in-process cutting forces.
