Abstract

Abstract: This study deals with an effort to assess the performance of Cermet cutting tool as an alternative cutting tool for turning hardened steel. Some machinability aspects, including tool wear, cutting time, surface finish, and optimum cutting condition were assessed. The experiment was carried out by adopting Taguchi method (L8) and Taguchi signal-noise (S/N) ratios was utilised to determine the optimum cutting condition. Flank wear was observed as the main tool failure mode. Related to flank wear, the Cermet cutting tool used in this study had potential cutting time when assigned for hard turning. Surface finish measured under Ra parameter for all tested cutting conditions was at the quality of finish turning. The statistical analysis supported the engineering perspective to define surface finish as the main response variable to be used for the evaluation of optimum cutting condition. The result of Taguchi S/N analysis on the optimum cutting condition showed a good agreement with the experiment.
