Abstract

This paper presents the experimental results of the turning of spheroidal iron (EN-GJS-500-7 grade) using L-CBN tools. The cutting process can be classified as a High Performance Cutting (HPC) due to a relatively high material removal rate of about 190 cm3/min. The investigations performed include fundamental process quantities and machined surface characteristics, i.e. componential cutting forces, specific cutting energy, average and maximum values of cutting temperature as well as temperature distribution in the cutting zone, tool wear progress visualized by appropriate wear curves and 2D/3D surface roughness parameters.

Keywords
