Özet

In this study, the influence of cutting tool rake angle on the cutting forces developed during turning operation was evaluated. For this purpose, a dynamometer was designed and constructed to measure cutting forces. In this dynamometer design, measurement of the cutting tool deflection under the cutting forces was aimed using two beam type load cells located suitably according to the cutting tool. In order to examine the influence of rake angle, turning tests were carried out on AISI 1040 steel workpiece using eight different rake angles. The turning tests at each rake angle were conducted at five different cutting speeds while depth of cut and feed rate were kept constant. The results showed that cutting forces decreased with increasing the rake angle. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
