An extensive study was performed in finish turning of the following microalloyed steels: as received (14.3 HRc), water-cooled (44.9 HRc), air-cooled (14.41 HRc) and furnace-cooled (9.1 HRc). The turning tests were carried out using multi-layer coated cemented carbide tools at four different cutting speeds (60, 90, 120, and 150 m/min) while feedrate and depth of cut were kept constant at 0.1 mm/rev and 1 mm, respectively. The influences of workpiece microstructure and cutting speed on cutting forces and workpiece surface roughness were investigated. The worn parts of the cutting tools were also examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that cutting speed significantly affected the machined surface roughness values. However, cutting forces were not influenced significantly by workpiece microstructure and cutting speed except for water cooled specimen.
