Surface roughness prediction in turning of femoral head

This paper is dealing with the development of a surface roughness model for turning of femoral heads from AISI 316L stainless steel. The model is developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, using response surface methodology. Machining tests were carried out with TiN–Al 2 O 3 –T...

Description
Summary:This paper is dealing with the development of a surface roughness model for turning of femoral heads from AISI 316L stainless steel. The model is developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, using response surface methodology. Machining tests were carried out with TiN–Al 2 O 3 –TiC-coated carbide cutting tools under various conditions. First-order and second-order models predicting equations for surface roughness have been established by using the experimental results. The established equation shows that the depth of cut was the main influencing factor on the surface roughness. It increased with increasing the depth of cut and feed rate, respectively, but it decreased with increasing the cutting speed. In addition, analysis of variance for the second-order model shows that the interaction terms and the square terms are statistically insignificant. The predicted surface roughness of the samples was found close to the experimentally obtained results within a 95% confident interval.
