This research explores the surface finish attributes of En31 alloy steel during turning operations employing various inserts under both dry and wet cutting conditions. Surface finish is a crucial factor affecting the performance and functionality of machined components, especially in industries where precision is vital. The research aims to evaluate the impact of cutting conditions, specifically dry and wet environments, on surface finish quality. Experimental trials are conducted on a lathe machine equipped with the CNMG120404EM6630 and CNMG 120408EM6630 inserts, and surface roughness measurements are performed using appropriate metrological tools. Furthermore, the study examines the influence of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on surface finish. Comparison of dry and wet turning of En31 alloy steel using CNMG120404EM6630 and CNMG120408EM6630 inserts. The outcomes of this investigation offer valuable insights into desired surface finish characteristics in En31 alloy steel components, thereby enhancing productivity and quality in machining operations.
