4.3 PROFILOMETER

The SURFTEST SJ-201P is a shop-floor type surface roughness measuring instrument,

which traces the surfaces of various machine parts, calculates their roughness based on

roughness standards and displays the results. A pick up referred as the “stylus” attached

to the detector unit of the SJ-201P will trace the minute irregularities of the work piece

surface. The vertical stylus displacement during the trace is processed and digitally

displayed on the liquid crystal display of the SJ-201P. The instrument has maximum

range of -200µm to +150µm and can represent surface texture using various surface

roughness parameters.

The SJ-201P weighs 0.5 kg, designed for excellent portability. In addition, it is made

compact so that it can be held and operated in one hand. The built-in battery makes it

easy to perform roughness measurement on the shop floor or other sites where there may

be no AC power supply. With auto-sleep set to ON under operation on the built-in

battery, the SJ201P automatically turns power off, if it is not in operation for 30 seconds

even when the power is ON. The SJ-201P still retains the set measurement conditions in

memory even if the power is turned off.

Measurement results are displayed on the large easy-to-view LCD unit. These

measurement results can also be outputted externally as Statistical Process Control data.

If connected to personal computer, the SJ-201P can be remotely controlled via the RS-

232C communication interface. The SJ-201P can save measurement results up to 10

cases of measurements. It can also call the saved data to display and print the data. SJ-

201P output measurement results conforming to a variety of surface roughness standards,

including JIS DIN, ISO and ANSI.

When probe moves over the surface the disturbances on the turned surface make the

probe move up and down, when it is traveling on the work piece. This up and down

motion is converted into a electrical signal by means of a wheat stone network. This

electrical signal is displayed on a electrical LCD screen. The measurements of average

surface roughness were made on the Surface Profilometer with software using vertical

scanning interferometer made at

10 X magnification, full resolution and 1 x scan speed. The cylinder and tilt were

removed after taking measurements. Removing the cylindrical object to appear flat, so

surface features can be observed instead of the dominant cylindrical shape, thereby

removing any tilt between the system and the sample. Three measurements of surface

roughness were taken at different locations and the average values were used in the

analysis. Fig. 4.6 & and Fig. 4.7 shows the Profilometer and line diagram respectively.

The different parts of Profilometer have been described below

4.4 CUTTING TOOL INSERTS

Straight Cemented Carbide insert is used as the cutting tool insert in the present

investigation. TNMG 160402, TNMG 160404 and TNMG 160408 Straight Cemented

Carbide inserts are used in the present investigation. Cemented carbide is a relatively

modern material produced by powder metallurgy process. It is a mixture of two general

constituents- hard particles and a binder material. The hard particles such as Tungsten

Carbide (WC), Titanium Carbide (TiC), Tantalum Carbide (TaC) and Niobium Carbide

(NbC) provide the wear resistance and cobalt acts as binding material and provides

toughness. Straight Cemented Carbide consists of Tungsten Carbide as the hard particle

and cobalt as the binder. Straight Cemented Carbide insert is shown in Fig. 4.8

Fig. 4.8: Straight Cemented Carbide Insert

The details of cutting tool inserts used in our study i.e. TNMG 160402, TNMG 160404 and

TNMG 160408 is mentioned below

T: Insert Shape= Triangle 600

N: Clearance Angle= 00 No rake

M: Medium Tolerance= d+/-0.05 m+/-0.08 s+/-0.13

G: Insert Type (Pin / Top clamping double sided)

16: means length of each cutting edge is 16 mm

04: stands for nominal thickness of the insert is 4 mm

02/ 04/ 08: stands for nose radius is 02mm / 0.4mm / 0.8mm

They are stable and moderately expensive. It is offered in several "grades" containing

different proportions of Tungsten Carbide and binder usually Cobalt. High resistance to

abrasion. High solubility in iron requires the additions of Tantalum Carbide and Niobium

Carbide for Steel usage. Its main use is in turning tool bits although it is very common in

milling cutters and saw blades. It posses hardness up to HRC 90. Sharp edges generally

not recommended.

4.5 CUTTING FLUID

In the present study cutting fluid used for turning of Al 6351-T6 is WS-40HW (Make:

MET-L-COOL, ITW Chemin). It is water soluble with a ratio of 1:20 i.e. 1 liter of

coolant oil is mixed with 20 liters of water, enriched with cationic surfactants for

moderate machining and grinding operations on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is

formulated with refined naphthenic base oil, corrosion inhibitors, biocides and special

emulsifiers to perform well even in high hard water (1000 ppm). Important features of

WS-40HW are excellent hard water stability, special biocide package enhances the sump

life, and corrosion inhibitor package protects the job and machine from rusting, reduces

wheel loading and dressing frequency and reduces machine downtime. Some of its

important properties are it appears as Amber clear liquid, it is mild odor, milky white

emulsion and maximum oil content is 70%.

4.6 TAGUCHI TECHNIQUE

Dr. Taguchi of Nippon Telephones and Telegraph Company, Japan has developed a

method based on “ORTHOGONAL ARRAY” experiments which gives much reduced

“variance” for the experiment with “optimum settings” of control parameters. Thus the

marriage of Design of Experiments with optimization of control parameters to obtain

best results is achieved in the Taguchi method. “Orthogonal Arrays” (OA) provide a set

of well balanced (minimum) experiments and Dr. Taguchi’s Signal-to-Noise ratios

(S/N), which are log functions of desired output, serve as objective functions for

optimization, help in data analysis and prediction of optimum results.

Taguchi method treats optimization problems in two categories

1. Static problems: (a) Smaller the Better (b) Larger the Better (c) Nominal the Best

2. Dynamic problems: (a) Sensitivity (b) Linearity

Taguchi proposed a standard 8 step procedure for applying his method for optimizing

any process.

Step 1: Identify the main function, side effects, and failure mode.

Step 2: Identify the noise factors, testing conditions and quality characteristics.

Step 3: Identify the objective function to be optimized.

Step 4: Identify the control factors and their levels.

Step 5: Select the orthogonal array matrix experiment.

Step 6: Conduct the matrix experiment.

Step 7: Analyze the data, predict the optimum levels and performance.

Step 8: Perform the verification experiment and plan the future action.

4.6.2 Studies on Machinability of Al 6151-T6 and Optimization of Cutting

Parameters in Light duty lathe-SHIMATO-C0636A using L8 Orthogonal Array

In the experiment 4.6.1 since we considered only 3 Parameters at 2 levels, we were not

able to investigate cutting parameters that are significantly affecting the performance

characteristics using ANOVA. Therefore, we conducted this experiment by considering

4 Parameters at 2 levels. In this experiment Al 6151-T6 rods of 30mm diameter and

60mm length were turned on a Light Duty Lathe -SHIMATO-C0636A. Straight Cemented

Carbide inserts TNMG 160404 (KORLOY Make) and TNMG 160408 (KORLOY

Make) were used. Speed (A), Feed (B), Depth of cut (C) and Nose Radius (D) were

selected as Cutting Parameters and the Cutting environment was Dry.

To perform the experimental design, two levels of the cutting parameters

were selected and listed in Table 4.13
