The effect of cutting parameters on power consumption during turning nickel based alloy

Abstract

Machining process should also consider environmental aspect, with power consumption as one of the criteria. Cutting parameters can be optimized to minimize power consumption. This paper takes a study on turning of nickel-based hastelloy under dry condition (no cutting fluid) which varies cutting speed (150, 200, and 250 m/min) and depth of cut (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm). Power consumption of particular machining process at various cutting parameters was derived and calculated. It was found that minimum power consumption was shown when the turning process was performed at the lowest cutting speed and depth of cut.
