The Influence of Surface Roughness of Cutting Inserts Made of Diamond–Tungsten Carbide Composite on Cutting Forces and Machining Quality in Turning Aluminum Alloys and Brass

Abstract

The paper addresses the effect of face roughness of cutting inserts made of diamond–tungsten carbide nanocomposite on cutting forces, vibration, and machined surface quality in finish turning of aluminum alloys and brass. The authors have substantiated the optimal cutting conditions to produce workpiece surfaces with the minimum roughness and waviness.
