Abstract:
The turning is a basic material removal operation performed on lathe machine or CNC machine to get
the finished product. To perform turning operation it required different operating parameter and its
like cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut. The high carbon steel such as die steel, mould steel is generally
used in the manufacturing of die, mould, machine tools etc. the turning operation of high carbon steel
is a challenging task for the researcher and the industries. It is also important to perform turning
operation very efficiently. The performance of turning operation is depend upon the tool life and
Material Removal Rate (MRR) of the tool material. In current study the T51620 material is studied and
is employed in making of dies in different industry. the different inserts are used to perform the
operation such as Tungsten carbide, cemented carbide, ceramic, cermet etc. the most suitable insert
material used for turning of T51620 is tungsten carbide and cermet inserts. but now a day's industries
need higher productivity and higher tool life and higher MRR with same parameters so one should
compare the tool material with the advance insert material i.e. cermet. It is the combination of ceramic
and metal material. It fulfills the both the requirement of tool life and MRR so the current investigation
is to review different insert used for the turning of T51620 material and it will give an idea about the
selection of appropriate insert material. So, any researched and industry people can take this work as
a reference for their operations.
