EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DOUBLE POINT CUTTING TOOL ON CHIP – TOOL INTERFACE TEMPERATURE IN TURNING

S.Vanangamudi, M.Pradeep Kumar

Abstract: A special type of a tool is designed and made to have two cutting points for turning long workpieces and it may be termed as the double point cutting tool. The double point cutting tool has two cutting points which has the height difference of 0.5 mm and the distance between them is 6 mm. So that when the first cutting point takes 0.5 mm depth of cut and next to that the second cutting point also takes 0.5 mm depth of cut as the tool proceeds for turning. Hence the total machining time is reduced considerably. Chip – Tool Interface Temperature takes very important role in metal cutting which decides the dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties of the workpiece and the tool life. Investigation on Chip – Tool Interface Temperature in HSS Double Point Cutting Tool during turning of Mild Steel for different cutting conditions is presented in this Research article.

Keywords: double point cutting tool, machining time, chip – tool interface temperature, dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties of the work piece, tool life
