The study reveals that the hybrid metal matrix composite material's hardness is higher than that of Al6061 grade aluminum material, and its density is slightly lower. PVD coated carbide tools perform better than uncoated ones, and the feed rate has a more significant impact on tool life than cutting speed according to ANOVA analysis. The researchers also identified that the type of work material affects tool life by 21.8%, while feed per revolution affects tool life by 14.6%. In conclusion, the study's findings contribute to optimizing the turning process for hybrid metal matrix composite material, leading to more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing processes. The Taguchi L-16 orthogonal array was used for the experimental runs, and each parameter was selected within the acceptable range. The researchers turned a silicon carbide and red mud- enhanced hybrid metal matrix composite made of aluminum using a JOBBAR XL CNC lathe. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into improving productivity in the manufacturing of machine parts.
