STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOR OF VARIOUS MILD STEEL GRADES DURING THE MACHINING PROCESS USING A CNC TURNING MACHINE
Introduction Mild steel grades, such as EN8 and EN24, are widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction due to their excellent machinability, weldability, and affordability. To meet the increasing demand for high-precision and high-quality mild steel components, it is essential to understand their machining behaviour. This project aims to investigate the machining behaviour of EN8 and EN24 mild steel grades during the turning process using a CNC turning machine, evaluating the effects of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on cutting forces, surface roughness, and tool wear. How CNC Machines Works CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are automated machining tools controlled by a computer that executes pre-programmed sequences of machine control commands. They are used in manufacturing to produce precise and complex parts with high accuracy and efficiency. 1) Design & Programming – A C...
