Abstract: In the present work, attempts have been made to compare the tool nose wear progression under dry and near-dry cutting conditions in view of disagreement of the researchers about the use of coolants in hard turning. Hard turning experiments were performed on AISI 4340 steel (55 HRC) using physical vapour deposited (PVD) nanolaminate TiSiN-TiAlN coated carbide tool. Near-dry cutting experiments were performed using a mist formed by a very small quantity of oil (60 ml/hr) and compressed air (5 bar). It has been observed that nose wear progression prominently gets affected with cutting speed in comparison to feed. However, this effect was more prominent under dry cutting conditions. Chipping off at the nose and clearance face was observed as dominant wear forms under both the cutting conditions. No significant difference in tool nose wear progression was observed under both dry and near-dry conditions especially at lower values of cutting speeds (100-125 m/min) and feed (0.081-0.113 mm/rev).
