Influence of cutting speed on residual stresses by machining of AISI 316L

الملخص EN

RS have an important role in the performance of components and machined structures.

The objective of this paper is to study the influence of cutting speed on RS in workpieces that are formed in orthogonal cutting.

AISI 316L stainless steel since it has been used in many important industries such as chemical, petrochemical industries, power generation, electrical engineering, and food and beverage industry.

Four cutting speeds are selected: (44, 56, 71 and 88) m/min.

The alloy was machined by turning at constant depth of cut and various feed rate from (0.065 to 0.228) mm/rev.

Residual stresses are examined by X-ray diffraction.

The best results of RS obtained are (-3735.28, -1784.95, -330.142, -218.747, -890.758, -2999.632, -2990.401) MPa.

Increasing the cutting speed from (44-56) m/min.

reduces the compressive residual stress by (21.4 %), while from (71-88) m/min the RS is reduced by (19.3 %).

Finally, the RS at cutting speeds are changed from compression to tension.
