The Investigation of Surface Roughness on AISI 1040 Steel with Dry Turning

In this study, the effect of cutting speed and feed rate on the surface roughness was investigated experimentaly in the machining of AISI 1040 steel being mostly used in industry. Experiments was done by dry turning with uncoated cementite carbite cutting tools at different speeds (46. 91 ve 128 m/dk) and feed rates (0.16, 0.22 ve 0.28 mm/dev) while cutting depth stays stable at 2 mm. It was observed that workpiece surface quality get worse with the increase of feed rate or decrease of cutting speed. As a result of this work, it was seen that 128 m/min cutting speed and 0.16 mm/rev feed rate for the 2 mm cutting depth are the optimum cutting conditions from the point of surface quality.
