Determination of Mathematical Formulae for the Cutting Force Fc during the Turning of C45 Steel

This article provides an assessment of the effect of selected processing conditions on the value of the cutting force, Fc, during straight turning. The assessment is based on equations in the form of power polynomials obtained from the results of experimental tests. The tests were conducted while turning C45 carbon steel with the use of cutting fluid applied in ample quantities and without cutting fluid. At the end of the article, an analysis of the obtained mathematical dependencies is provided along with experimental verification.
