For this purpose, Stellite-6 coating materials and two different types of cutting tool materials (ceramics and tungsten carbide) were used. The performance of the tool materials in the turning operation was analyzed. Two materials were compared in terms of surface roughness in different cutting speeds and feed rates. Taguchi method was used for the analysis of relationship between the surface quality and the cutting parameters. The estimated values were very close to the results of the experimental tests. Experimental and analysis results showed that whisker-reinforced ceramic insert was more suitable than tungsten carbide cutting tool for the machining of Stellite-6 coating material in terms of surface roughness. The objective of this study is to determine the ideal conditions and optimum machinability parameters for Stellite-6 coating material and to explore the appropriate cutting tool.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessStellite-6CoatingCeramicSurface RoughnessArticle10.1007/s13369-014-1343-93910737573832-s2.0-84907684535Q1WOS:000341732200052N/A
