Abstract

Metal matrix composites have received considerable attention due to their excellent engineering properties. These materials are difficult to machine because of their hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement particles. This paper presents experimental work from a series of turning tests in which carbide tool and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools were used to machine E-glass and tungsten carbide reinforced Al-7075 hybrid composite. The influence of machine parameters e.g., cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut on the surface roughness, cutting forces, tool wear and tool life were investigated. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate on surface roughness during machining of 7075 Al alloy and 4% tungsten carbide and E-glass reinforced particulate metal-matrix composites. The experiments were conducted on a CNC Turning Machine using tungsten carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts.
