2.1 INTRODUCTION
The work piece's metallurgy and chemistry[1] can either be provided or is already known. Quite
frequently, a material is chosen for a specific use primarily due to how well it machines. For instance,
cast iron and aluminium are noted for being simple to process. Other metals, like titanium or
stainless steel, are challenging to process. These metals are chosen to satisfy other functional design
objectives, but they frequently have high cutting forces or poor surface finishes, which can lead to a
short cutting tool life. The work piece's size and shape may be determined by earlier casting, forging,
shaping, and other processes, or it may be chosen from standard machining stock, such as bar stock
for screw machines. Typically, this factor directly affects both the depth of cut and the chosen
machining method or processes. The geometry of the part size and shape, whether rotational or
non-rotational, the necessary finishes and tolerances, and the amount of the product to be
produced must all be taken into consideration when choosing the machining methods necessary to
turn the raw material into a finished product.
High-Speed Steel, in both wrought and powder metallurgy forms, carbides, and coated tools are the
three materials used most frequently as cutting tool materials today for industrial machining
processes. Diamonds, ceramics, and cubic boron nitride are also commonly used. It still takes skill to
choose a tool material that meets functional requirements while also offering dependable service.
The ability of a tool to resist wear at higher cutting speeds increases with tool material hardness. The
cutting temperature rises with increasing cutting speed, and tool life decreases. Cutting tools should
have both a lengthy tool life and the ability to maintain hardness at high temperatures. It is
important to choose a cutting speed, a feed, and a depth of cut for every machining process. These
choices are impacted by a variety of variables since they all have an impact on the dependent
variables. The other input variables that have been selected, such as the total amount of material to
be removed, the materials of the work piece and the tools, and the
