The analysis of cutting tool geometric on cutting forces and surface roughness of steel applied to marine pumps shaft pins

One of the greatest problems of modern production techniques is the achievement of an appropriate quality at minimal costs and accompanied by the production efficiency increase. Therefore while designing the production process, the technology used should have a considerable influence on the durability and reliability of machine parts to be produced. During finish treatment the final dimensions as well as functional properties are imparted to a given element by application of proper treatment type. The engineer has a range of production techniques to choose for the proper surface layer formation. It is crucial to find a suitable solution which will meet the requirements as well as the work conditions of a given machine part. The article presents the research results referring to the analysis of the influence of finishing lathing on the cutting forces and surface roughness of stainless steel. The research was performed on a roller 60 mm in diameter made of X5CrNi18-10 steel. The finish tooling of pump shaft pins was carry out on a universal CDS 6250 BX-1000 centre lathe. The finish lathing process was carried out by means of Sandvik Coromant cutting tool with replaceable inserts. During the research, the effect of cutting tool geometric on cutting forces and surface roughness of steel applied to marine pumps shaft pins ware tested. In addition, the influence of cutting tool geometric on cutting temperatures was determined.
