Experimental Study of the Effect of Different Spindle Speeds and Feed Rates in Dry Machining on a Brittle Material

Material removal modes in brittle material machining are divided into two categories: ductile modes and brittle modes. Many believe that there is a clear difference between energy costs in these two cases. Spindle speed (SS) and feed rate are the effective parameters in the material machining process. It is tried to conduct experimental studies on the effect of low spindle speeds and high feed rates on the turning of brittle material in this paper. Also, the tool geometry is an important factor in turning brittle materials; so the rake angle of the turning tool was changed for dry machining of a single-crystal workpiece. The results show that the surface roughness decreases by increasing the spindle speed and decreasing the feed rate, which reduces the surface damage significantly. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the effect of rotational speed and feed rate on surface roughness and surface texture in the lathe process of the workpiece using the ductile mode of machining and changes in the parameters of this process to control the configuration and dimensions of microstructures (micro craters, Surface pits, and micro-cracks).
