- MMC’s are the materials that are playing a vital role in today’s automobile and aeronautical applications. The present materials are almost getting replaced by these MMC’s, specially by aluminium MMC’s. These materials provide the advantage of light weight to higher strength which is of most important for the aerospace components. The most common aluminium MMCs are Aluminium 6061 material reinforced with SiC. Machining of these materials is a challenging task due to its improved mechanical properties like hardness and strength. So an appropriate machining technique should be suitable selected depending upon the application of the material. In machining, turning operation is selected to study the influence of the cutting parameters in machining the processed MMC’s. The results of the present study indicate that the cutting parameters like speed and feed rate affects the performance of the tool and the depth of the parameter is the one which has lesser impact.
