Abstract

Energy consumption and processing of hard materials in the manufacturing industry are important research topics. In this study, in order to increase the surface quality and reduce energy consumption two steel materials (DIN 1.2367 and DIN 1.2550 with 55 HRC hardness) were machined two different insert radii, three different cutting speeds, three different feed rate, three different cutting depths with carbide tools. According to the test results, the surface roughness increases with increasing feed rate. The roughness value decreases with increasing tip radius. The effect of the feed rate is 49%, the effect of the tool radius is 39%. The effect of depth of cut and feed rate on power consumption is 45% and 28%, respectively. On the energy consumption, the effect of depth of cut and feed rate is 48%, 36%. In addition, surface roughness, power consumption and energy consumption can be estimated with 97.49%, 97.78%, 98.25% accuracy with the created regression equations. Finally, according to the optimization result, the surface roughness decreased by 25.71% and the energy consumption decreased by 50.65%.
