Chapter 6a

This document describes the experimental setup for hard turning and grinding operations. It outlines the selection of cubic boron nitride (CBN) as the tool material and EN 31 steel as the workpiece material due to their high hardness. The CBN insert and grinding wheel specifications are provided. The document then details the experimental parameters for hard turning and grinding EN 31 steel, including machine used, workpiece dimensions and hardness, tool materials, and CNC lathe specifications.

6.1.2 Hard Turning Tool Selection and its Specification


cubic boron nitride (CBN)
Next to diamond, CBN is the hardest material currently available. It consists of Boron and
Nitrogen. CBN has high hot hardness (5000 degree Celsius) and high thermal conductivity.
In dealing with iron-based alloys and hardened steel, the life of the CBN tool is 4-5 times
higher than that of diamond tool. Hence CBN INSERT is most suitable for Hard Turning
operation.

6.1.5 Work Piece material


EN 31 is a type of steel alloy that contains high amount of carbon and chromium as a major
constituent.
Application
Ball and Roller Bearings, Punches and Dies.
By its character this type of steel has high resisting nature against wear and can be used for
components which are subjected to severe abrasion, wear or high surface loading.
