Evaluation of Tool Life in Casting Machining- A Review

R.N. Mehta, G.D. Acharya

Abstract


Machining is a manufacturing process that involves removing materials using cutting tools
for getting rid of the unwanted materials from some workpiece and converting it into the
shape you desire. A large piece of stock is used for cutting the workpiece. The large stock
might be in any shape such as solid bar, flat sheet, beam or even hollow tubes. The process
can also be performed on some existing part like forging or casting. The manufacturing
process broadly classify as machining, casting, joining, mechanical working and forging. The
machining process is very common and very widely used in any manufacturing industries.
The major concern about the machining process is to identify appropriate tool material for
specific workpiece materials. This requirement is very typical when we want to select tool
material for machining of casting. The major concern in machining is surface finish and tool
wear during machining process. This review paper covers the effect of machining parameter
on tool life. To establish relationship between tool life and tool wear. So this review paper
deals with different types of tool wear in terms of tool life.
