EXTRACTION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY FROM HEAT PRODUCED DURING METAL CUTTING OPERATION ON LATHE BY USING THERMOCOUPLES

Machining is the process of removal of excess material from the given workpiece to finish it to the required dimensions required as per use. Various metals and alloys are machined with the help of cutting tools like HSS, carbides etc. Majority of the industry manufactured products require machining at some stage ranging from relatively rough or nonprecision work such as cleaning of sprues, risers and gates to high precision work involving tolerances of 0.0001 inch and high surface finish.
