One of the major technological parameters in metal cutting is surface roughness. It is an unavoidable, and often, unwanted by-product of all machining operations, especially end milling. Surface roughness is directly related to product quality and performance, operation cost, machining accuracy, and chatter. Today’s stringent customer requirements demand machined parts with minimum (mirror finished) products. Hence, the prediction, modeling, and optimization of surface roughness is a quintessential concern in machining research and industrial endeavor. This research was undertaken in order to determine whether end milling of medium carbon steel performed using chosen ranges of cutting parameter and under magnetic field generated by permanent magnets could effectively improve surface roughness. A small central composite design with five levels and an alpha value of 1.4142, in Response Surface Methodology, was used in developing the relationship between cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut, with surface roughness. Design-Expert 6.0 software was utilized to develop the quadratic empirical mathematical model for surface roughness. The experiments were performed under two different conditions. The first condition was cutting under normal conditions, while the other one was cutting under the application of magnetic fields from two permanent magnets. Medium carbon steel was used as the work material. The resultant average surface roughness was found to be reduced by a maximum of 59% due to magnet application.

The present paper discusses the development of the first and second order models for predicting the tangential cutting force produced in end-milling operation of medium carbon steel. The mathematical model for the cutting force prediction has been developed, in terms of cutting parameters cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). All the individual cutting parameters affect on cutting forces as well as their interaction are also investigated in this study. The second order equation shows, based on the variance analysis, that the most influential input parameter was the feed rate followed by axial depth of cut and, finally, by the cutting speed. Central composite design was employed in developing the cutting force models in relation to primary cutting parameters. The experimental results indicate that the proposed mathematical models suggested could adequately describe the performance indicators within the limits of the factors that are being investigated. The adequacy of the predictive model was verified using ANOVA at 95% confidence level. This paper presents an approach to predict cutting force model in end milling of medium carbon steel using coated TiN insert under dry conditions and full immersion cutting.Keywords: Tangential Cutting Forces; RSM; coated TiN; model.DOI: 10.3329/jme.v40i2.5350Journal of Mechanical Engineering, Vol. ME 40, No. 2, December 2009 95-103

Ti(C, N)-based cermet cutting tools were prepared by vacuum sintering and tested in dry machining of normalized medium carbon steel (AISI1045) at various combinations of cutting speed (Vc), feed rate (f), and depth of cut (ap). And the wear mechanism was investigated in detail using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). Comparing to the cemented carbide YT15 and cermet TN20, the newly fabricated cermet tools exhibited better performance and higher wear resistance. For Ti(C, N)-based cermet tools, the wear mechanism was predominantly controlled by the flank wear under all cutting condition. It was found that the removal of the ceramic grain and abrasive wear were the main source of tools failure. In addition, adhesion and oxidation were also observed.

The aim of this research was to study factors, which was influenced on surface roughness in vertical milling of hardened medium carbon steel. The specimen was medium carbon steel grade JIS S50C that was hardened at 56± 2 HRC. Full factorial experimental design was conducted by 3 factors and 3 levels (33 design) with 2 replications. Studied factors were consisted of cutting speed, feed rate, and air coolant pressure. The results revealed that influenced factor affected to surface roughness was cutting speed and feed rate which showed significantly different. Higher cutting speed would cause on better surface quality. On the other hand, poorer surface quality was produced by higher feed rate. However, factors interaction were found between cutting speed with air coolant pressure and feed rate with air coolant pressure that significantly influenced to surface roughness. The interaction of high cutting speed with high air coolant pressure would be better quality of surface finish and lower feed rate with high air coolant pressure would be better surface quality.

This paper presents the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness in end milling of Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V under the influence of magnetic field from permanent magnets. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a small central composite design was used in developing the relationship between cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut, with surface roughness. In this experiment, three factors and five levels of central composite with 0.16817 alpha value was used as an approach to predict the surface roughness, in end milling of titanium alloy, with reasonable accuracy. The Design-Expert 6.0 software was applied to develop the surface roughness equation for the predictive model. The adequacy of the surface roughness model was validated to 95% by using ANOVA analysis. Finally, desirability function approach was used to determine the optimum possible surface roughness given the capabilities of the end machine.

One of ways to improve properties of materials without changing the product shape toobtain the desired engineering applications is heating and cooling under effect of controlledsequence of heat treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofheating and cooling on the surface roughness, microstructure and some selected propertiessuch as the hardness and impact strength of Medium Carbon Steel which treated at differenttypes of heat treatment processes. Heat treatment achieved in this work was respectively,heating, quenching and tempering. The specimens were heated to 850°C and left for 45minutes inside the furnace as a holding time at that temperature, then quenching process wasperformed in four types of quenching media (still air, cold water (2°C), oil and polymersolution), respectively. Thereafter, the samples were tempered at 200°C, 400°C, and 600°Cwith one hour as a soaking time for each temperature, then were all cooled by still air. Whenthe heat treatment process was completed, the surface roughness, hardness, impact strengthand microstructure tests were performed. The results showed a change and clearimprovement of surface roughness, mechanical properties and microstructure afterquenching was achieved, as well as the change that took place due to the increasingtoughness and ductility by reducing of brittleness of samples.

Abstract The stone products with different sizes, geometries and materials — like machine tool's bench, measuring machine's board or sculptures, floor tiles — can be produced automatically while the manufacturing engineer uses objective function similar to metal cutting. This function can minimise the manufacturing time or the manufacturing cost, in other cases it can maximise of the tool's life. To use several functions, manufacturing engineers need an overall theoretical background knowledge, which can give useful information about the choosing of technological parameters (e.g. feed rate, depth of cut, or cutting speed), the choosing of applicable tools or especially the choosing of the optimum motion path. A similarly important customer's requirement is the appropriate surface roughness of the machined (cut, sawn or milled) stone product. This paper's first part is about a five-month-long literature review, which summarizes in short the studies (researches and results) considered the most important by the authors. These works are about the investigation of the surface roughness of stone products in stone machining. In the second part of this paper the authors try to determine research possibilities and trends, which can help to specify the relation between the surface roughness and technological parameters. Most of the suggestions of this paper are about stone milling, which is the least investigated machining method in the world.

Hard milling of hardened steel has wide application in mould and die industries. However, milling induced surface finish has received little attention. An experimental investigation is conducted to comprehensively characterize the surface roughness of AISI D2 hardened steel (58-62 HRC) in end milling operation using TiAlN/AlCrN multilayer coated carbide. Surface roughness (Ra) was examined at different cutting speed (v) and radial depth of cut (dr) while the measurement was taken in feed speed, Vf and cutting speed, Vc directions. The experimental results show that the milled surface is anisotropic in nature. Surface roughness values in feed speed direction do not appear to correspond to any definite pattern in relation to cutting speed, while it increases with radial depth-of-cut within the range 0.13-0.24 µm. In cutting speed direction, surface roughness value decreases in the high speed range, while it increases in the high radial depth of cut. Radial depth of cut is the most influencing parameter in surface roughness followed by cutting speed.
