IMPROVEMENT OF SURFACE INTEGRITY WHEN FINISH TURNING INCONEL 718 USING CERAMICS
Keywords:
Inconel 718, Ceramics, Surface IntegrityAbstract
Inconel 718, a high strength, thermal resistant nickel based alloy, is mainly used in the aircraft industries. It is essential to study the quality of machined surface since it directly affects the performance of the parts produced. In this work, surfaces generated when machining Inconel 718 alloy with ceramic tools at different cutting conditions are studied. The optimal cutting data are obtained using Taguchi’s Optimization technique and ANOVA. The correlation obtained is compared with the experimental results. The experimental test results show that acceptable surface finish can be achieved when machining Inconel 718 with high pressure coolant supply
