Abstract:

The prime attempt in any production process is to produce an acceptable component at the minimum possible cost without affecting the surface finish or overall quality of the component. In order to achieve this objective in metal cutting or metal machining, many attempts have been made in several different ways; such as optimizing the tool life in order to minimize the production cost, maximizing the production rate to reduce the production cost, etc. but no single effort has been found fully successful because of the numbers of complexities involved in the process. For example, if cutting speed is reduced in order to enhance the tool life, the metal removal rate is also reduced and therefore, the production cost increased. A similar effect is observed if the efforts have been made to increase the production rate by increasing the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut, if we increase the above cutting parameters it will affect the surface quality adversely. A balance is therefore required to be stuck between the above parameters or there should be a new technique which will enhance the productivity without affecting the surface finish of the component. One such technique is introduced in this research work in which two single point cutting tools works simultaneously on the single work piece for improving the production rate at optimum surface finish.
