Wear analysis of Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) cutting tool in dry machining of T6061 Aluminium Alloy

Dry machining is an eco-friendly machining process and its importance in the manufacturing industries should be taken seriously. Machining without the use of any cutting fluid is becoming increasingly more popular due to concerns regarding the safety of the environment and reducing cost. Dry and we...

Dry and wet turning of T6061 aluminium alloy was performed on a lathe by using Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) inserts as the cutting tool.
