RT Journal Article T1 Cutting Speed and Feed Influence on Surface Microhardness of Dry-Turned UNS A97075-T6 Alloy A1 Martín Béjar, Sergio A1 Trujillo Vilches, Francisco Javier A1 Bermudo Gamboa, Carolina A1 Sevilla Hurtado, Lorenzo AB In this work, an analysis of the cutting speed and feed influence on surface roughness and microhardness of UNS A97075-T6 alloy, turned under dry conditions, was carried out. The results were compared before and after a corrosion process. The influence of these cutting parameters on each of these variables was analyzed, as well as the possible interrelation between them. The microgeometrical deviations showed a general trend to increase with feed. However, no significant modifications were observed as a function of the cutting speed. This trend was softer after the corrosion process, due to the surface alterations produced by pitting corrosion, which resulted in higher dispersion of the experimental data. In addition, a surface microhardness increment was observed in all samples, after machining and before corrosion, regardless of the cutting parameter values. The experimental results revealed that the mechanical effects, produced by the feed, should not be neglected against the thermal effects, produced by the cutting speed, within the range of the tested cutting speed. Finally, the corrosion process negatively affected the microhardness, but it was not possible to establish a direct relationship between the cutting parameters, surface roughness, and microhardness after a corrosion process.
