The performance of a turning process depends on various machining conditions which affect the surface quality achieved on the component, the tool life, cutting zone temperature and the metal removal rate. The turning operation produces the components, which have critical features that require specific surface finish. The wear rate of the single point cutting tool determines the cost of the process and also the quality of the component. The cutting zone temperature has detrimental effect on both the surface finish on the component and also the tool life. The turning process depends on a number...
