Abstract
Abstract This paper presents the effect of cutting tool, cutting speed and feed rate on the flank wear and surface roughness of austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) during wet turning. Turning tests were designed based on the Taguchi method (L18). An orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and the ANOVA were used to investigate the machinability of AISI 304 stainless steel with PVD and CVD coated tungsten carbide inserts. As a result of ANOVA, it was found that the feed rate was the most effective parameter on both flank wear and surface roughness.
