Intelligent Manufacturing in the Context of Industry 4.0 in Belarus

In the machining process, the cutting tool must cope with the raised temperature produced in the cutting sector. Here, hard X-625 (Inconel alloy), a super alloy, is processed in a turning operation with the coated TiAlNi carbide tool. The chip reduction coefficient (CRC) as a response is examined by micrometer with three input parameters, tool rotational speed (rpm), feed (mm/rev), and depth of cut (mm), at different settings. When rotational speed increases from 800 to 1600 rpm, the CRC decreases from 1.745 to 1.23. In another case, the CRC also decreases from 1.553 to 1.3165 when the feed increases from 7 to 15 mm/rev. Furthermore, when the depth of cut (DoC) increases from 0.02 to 0.04 mm, the CRC increases from 1.34 to 1.682. CRC reduction may be because of an increase in strain hardening and brittleness in the work material. Increases in the CRC may be because of softening of the region due to high temperature leading to thick chip formation.
