Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study of the evolution of the cutting f orces, tool wear and surface roughness during the turning of the particulat e metal matrix composite A356/20/SiCp-T6. The experimental work was develop ed through the continuous measurement of the cutting forces with an appropr iate piezoelectric dynamometer. The wear type was identified and its evolut ion with cutting time was measured. Inserts with polycrystalline diamond (P CD) were tested. The surface roughness was evaluated with a profilometer.
