Economizing of Machining Process by Heating the Work Piece in the Furnace to Increase Tool Life, Surface Finish and to Reduce the Power Consumption

This paper focuses on economizing of machining by increasing the temperature of the work piece to above the room temperature and below the recrystallization temperature depending on the materials to be machined and their compositions. The heating is achieved by using an electric furnace which is a safe practice compared to gas torch heating. The process parameters are calibrated by the lathe tool dynamometer to measure the cutting forces on X,Y and Z directions. Temperature measurement by Non contact type infrared thermometer .Surface roughness values are measured by –Surface roughness measuring equipment. thus the cost of machining is reduced and that/s how the Economizing in Machining is possible.
