This work depicts the effects of deep cryogenically treated high-speed steel on machining. In recent research, cryogenic treatment has been acknowledged for improving the life or performance of tool materials. Hence, tool materials such as the molybdenum-based high-speed tool steel are frequently used in the industry at present. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the tool performance in machining; the present research used medium carbon steel (AISI 1045) under dry turning based on the L9 orthogonal array. The effect of untreated and deep cryogenically treated tools on the turning of medium carbon steel is analyzed using the multi-input-multi-output fuzzy inference system with the Taguchi approach. The cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were the selected process parameters with an effect on surface roughness and the cutting tool edge temperature was also observed. The results reveal that surface roughness decreases and cutting tool edge temperature increases on increasing the cutting speed. This is followed by the feed rate and depth of cut. The deep cryogenically treated tool caused a reduction in surface roughness of about 11% while the cutting tool edge temperature reduction was about 23.76% higher than for an untreated tool. It was thus proved that the deep cryogenically treated tool achieved better performance on selected levels of the turning parameters.

The dissimilar welding of cast and wrought aluminum alloys has high potential to expand the usage of economical castings. Friction stir welding (FSW) is an appropriate technique to join dissimilar aluminum alloys. The present work investigates the effect of material location and tool rotational speed on microstructure and tensile strength of dissimilar friction stir welded cast and wrought aluminum alloy AA6061. Eight joints were made using four tool rotational speeds by changing the location of each aluminum alloy in advancing and retreading sides. The results indicated that the material location prior to welding and tool rotational speed significantly influenced the material flow behavior. The material placed in the advancing side occupied the major portion of the weld zone when tool rotational speed was increased. The microstructure of the dissimilar joints exhibited the presence of four zones namely base metal, heat affected zone, thermomechanically affected zone and weld zone. The weld zone revealed two kinds of regions namely unmixed region and mechanically mixed region. The dissimilar joint showed maximum tensile strength when cast aluminum alloy was placed in the advancing side at all tool rotational speeds.
