Aluminum Alloy 6063

The tool wear rate and energy consumption were typically unknown in micro-extrusion, which made it difficult to optimize the tool design for both the final part quality and production cost. This study investigated the effects of tool coatings on energy consumption in the micro-extrusion of aluminum alloy 6063. Three main factors were considered in this study: (1) tool coating types, (2) bearing length, and (3) extrusion ratio. The micro-extrusion finite element simulation model was developed and validated with the micro-extrusion experiment. The results showed that increasing bearing lengths led to the increase in tool wear rate and energy consumption for all the coating types. The decreasing coefficient of friction values of the tool-billet interface led to a decrease in energy consumption. High hardness values of the tool surface and low bearing lengths helped increase tool life. Low values of coefficient of friction and bearing lengths helped decrease energy consumption.

This paper presents the experimental results of cutting performance and tool wear of a milling cutter in dry side milling of aluminum alloy A2017. The milling cutter consists of Co-bonded High-Speed-Steel matrix with Diamond-Like-Carbon coating (abbrev. DLC-coated HSS-Co cutter). The machining experiments were carried out under cutting speed of 63 to 189 [m•min-1] and feed of 0.08 [mm/tooth/rev], and the criterion of tool life was the generation of gauge and/or scratch on a machined surface. The experimental results support that the DLC-coated cutter in up cutting has good performance among four types of combination by the presence or absence of coating and the up/down cutting manner. They also showed that the tool life of DLC-coated cutter in up cutting under cutting speed of 157 [m•min-1] was corresponding to the cutting distance of 80 [m] with average width of flank wear 102 [μm] and that in down cutting was 60 [m] with 85 [μm]. In the range of cutting distance up to 100 [m], the resultant cutting force with the DLC-coated cutter was smaller than that with a non-coating cutter. In case of the DLC-coated cutter in up cutting under the cutting speed of 189 [m•min-1], a chatter vibration occurred during the initial cutting distance. In case of the radial depth of cut of 1.5 [mm], it lasted up to the cutting distance of 10 [m] and more.

Alloy 6061

In cutting aluminum alloy 6061, continuous chips have a negative influence on the machining operation. Usually, Pb is added in order to break continuous chips. However, from the standpoint of environmental protection, it is necessary to improve chip breakability without adding Pb. One effective measure is improving chip breakability by adding Si in aluminum alloy 6061. However, the influence of Si content on tool wear has not been fully examined. In this study, in order to clarify the influence of a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating layer on cutting performance, aluminum alloys having different Si contents were turned. The substrate of the tool material was high speed steel (1.4%C). The chip configuration, cutting force and tool wear were experimentally investigated. The following results were obtained: (1) The DLC coating layer was effective for decreasing the cutting force. (2) In cutting Al-2mass%Si alloy, the wear progress of the DLC-coated tool was slower than that of the un-coated tool. The length of a chip with the DLC-coated tool was shorter than that with the un-coated tool.

Due to its relatively low mass density, low cost, high strength, the aluminum alloy is an ideal optical material to fabricate the large metal mirror of infrared band optical systems. The diamond ultra-precision cutting can produce ultra smooth machined surfaces without other finishing processes. Consequently, it can be used as a effective method to fabricate the large metal mirror. However, the tool wear is severe during the ultra-precision processes, which will ruduces the surface error of the large metal mirror. In this work, the ultra-precision cutting tests were performed to investigate the tool wear. The tool wear was examined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the chip was examined by using x-ray energy dispersive spectrdmeter (EDS). The tool wear mechanism and the influence of the chutting parameters on the tool wear were investigated. The results show that the daimond tool occurred abrasive wear and diffusing wear in the diamond ultra-precision cutting of aluminum alloy. The average clearance wear width increases with an increase of the cutting speed and the feed rate. There is a slight rise in the average clearance wear width as the depth of the cut increases in the range of 5μm-15μm. The average clearance wear width obviously increases when the depth of the cut reaches to 20μm.

In this investigation, the influence of tool rotational speed on wear and mechanical properties of Aluminum alloy based surface hybrid composites fabricated via Friction stir processing (FSP) was studied. The fabricated surface hybrid composites have been examined by optical microscope for dispersion of reinforcement particles. Microstructures of all the surface hybrid composites revealed that the reinforcement particles (SiC, Gr and Al2O3) are uniformly dispersed in the nugget zone. It is observed that the microhardness is decreased with increasing the rotational speed and exhibited higher microhardness value in Al-SiC/Al2O3 surface hybrid composite at a rotational speed of 900 rpm, due to presence and pining effect of hard SiC and Al2O3 particles. It is also observed that high wear resistance exhibited in the Al-SiC/Gr surface hybrid composites at a rotational speed of 900 rpm due to presence of SiC and Gr acted as load bearing elements and solid lubricant respectively. The observed wear and mechanical properties have been correlated with microstructures and worn morphology.

In this study, the influence of cutting parameters and machining time on the tool wear and surface roughness was investigated in high-speed milling process of Al6061 using face carbide inserts. Taguchi experimental matrix (L9) was chosen to design and conduct the experimental research with three input parameters (feed rate, cutting speed, and axial depth of cut). Tool wear (VB) and surface roughness (Ra) after different machining strokes (after 10, 30, and 50 machining strokes) were selected as the output parameters. In almost cases of high-speed face milling process, the most significant factor that influenced on the tool wear was cutting speed (84.94 % after 10 machining strokes, 52.13 % after 30 machining strokes, and 68.58 % after 50 machining strokes), and the most significant factors that influenced on the surface roughness were depth of cut and feed rate (70.54 % after 10 machining strokes, 43.28 % after 30 machining strokes, and 30.97 % after 50 machining strokes for depth of cut. And 22.01 % after 10 machining strokes, 44.39 % after 30 machining strokes, and 66.58 % after 50 machining strokes for feed rate). Linear regression was the most suitable regression of VB and Ra with the determination coefficients (R2) from 88.00 % to 91.99 % for VB, and from 90.24 % to 96.84 % for Ra. These regression models were successfully verified by comparison between predicted and measured results of VB and Ra. Besides, the relationship of VB, Ra, and different machining strokes was also investigated and evaluated. Tool wear, surface roughness models, and their relationship that were found in this study can be used to improve the surface quality and reduce the tool wear in the high-speed face milling of aluminum alloy Al6061
