Tool Coating

Aluminum alloys are soft and have low melting temperatures; therefore, machining them often results in cut material fusing to the cutting tool due to heat and friction, and thus lowering the hole quality. A good practice is to use coated cutting tools to overcome such issues and maintain good hole quality. Therefore, the current study investigates the effect of cutting parameters (spindle speed and feed rate) and three types of cutting-tool coating (TiN/TiAlN, TiAlN, and TiN) on the surface finish, form, and dimensional tolerances of holes drilled in Al6061-T651 alloy. The study employed statistical design of experiments and ANOVA (analysis of variance) to evaluate the contribution of each of the input parameters on the measured hole-quality outputs (surface-roughness metrics Ra and Rz, hole size, circularity, perpendicularity, and cylindricity). The highest surface roughness occurred when using TiN-coated tools. All holes in this study were oversized regardless of the tool coating or cutting parameters used. TiN tools, which have a lower coating hardness, gave lower hole circularity at the entry and higher cylindricity, while TiN/TiAlN and TiAlN seemed to be more effective in reducing hole particularity when drilling at higher spindle speeds. Finally, optical microscopes revealed that a built-up edge and adhesions were most likely to form on TiN-coated tools due to TiN’s chemical affinity and low oxidation temperature compared to the TiN/TiAlN and TiAlN coatings.

Cooling And Lubrication

In this paper, there is an attempt to monitor and evaluate machining parameters when turning 34CrNiMo6 material under different cooling and lubrication conditions. The machining parameters concerned are temperature of the cutting tool and the workpiece, level of vibrations of the cutting tool, surface roughness of the workpiece, noise levels of the turning process and current drawn by the main spindle motor. Four different experimental machining scenarios were completed, specifically: conventional wet turning process, dry cutting and two additional modes employing cooling by cold air. Experimental data were acquired and recorded by an optimally designed network of sensors. Experimental data were statistically analyzed in order to reach conclusions. According to the research that has been done, although, overall, minimum cutting tool and workpiece temperatures were observed under wet machining, cold air cooling is capable of achieving comparable cooling results to wet machining. The lowest values of surface roughness were achieved by wet machining, whereas the lowest level of cutting tool vibrations were observed under cold air cooling.

Cfrp Composite

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have very good mechanical properties, such as extremely high tensile strength/weight ratios, tensile modulus/weight ratios, and high strengths. CFRP composites need to be machined with a suitable cutting tool; otherwise, the machining quality may be reduced, and failures often occur. However, as a result of the high hardness and low thermal conductivity of CFRPs, the cutting tools used in the milling process of these materials complete their lifetime in a short cycle, due to especially abrasive wear and related failure mechanisms. As a result of tool wear, some problems, such as delamination, fiber breakage, uncut fiber and thermal damage, emerge in CFRP composite under working conditions. As one of the main failure mechanisms emerging in the milling of CFRPs, delamination is primarily affected by the cutting tool material and geometry, machining parameters, and the dynamic loads arising during the machining process. Dynamic loads can lead to the breakage and/or wear of cutting tools in the milling of difficult-to-machine CFRPs. The present research was carried out to understand the influence of different machining parameters on tool abrasion, and the work piece damage mechanisms during CFRP milling are experimentally investigated. For this purpose, cutting tests were carried out using a (Physical Vapor Deposition) PVD-coated single layer TiAlN and TiN carbide tool, and the abrasion behavior of the coated tool was investigated under dry machining. To understand the wear process, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used. As a result of the experiments, it was determined that the hard and abrasive structure of the carbon fibers caused flank wear on TiAlN- and TiN-coated cutting tools. The best machining parameters in terms of the delamination damage of the CFRP composite were obtained at high cutting speeds and low feed rates. It was found that the higher wear values were observed at the TiAlN-coated tool, at the feed rate of 0.05 mm/tooth.

Optimization Methodology

Determination of optimum cutting parameters is one of the most essential tasks in process planning of metal parts. However, to achieve the optimal machining performance, the cutting parameters have to be regulated in real time. Therefore, utilizing an intelligent-based control system, which can adjust the machining parameters in accordance with optimal criteria, is inevitable. This article presents an intelligent adaptive control with optimization methodology to optimize material removal rate and machining cost subjected to surface quality constraint in finish turning of hardened AISI D2 considering the real condition of the cutting tool. Wavelet packet transform of cutting tool vibration signals is applied to estimate tool wear. Artificial intelligence techniques (artificial neural networks, genetic programming and particle swarm optimization) are used for modeling of surface roughness and tool wear and optimization of machining process during hard turning. Confirmatory experiments indicated that the efficiency of the proposed adaptive control with optimization methodology is 25.6% higher compared to the traditional computer numerical control turning systems.

The paper studies the potential to improve the surface roughness in parts manufactured in the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process by using additional milling. The studied process was machining of samples made of the AlSi10Mg alloy powder. The simultaneous impacts of the laser scanning speed of the SLM process and the machining parameters of the milling process (such as the feed rate and milling width) on the surface roughness were analyzed. A mathematical model was created as a basis for optimizing the parameters of the studied processes and for selecting the sets of optimum solutions. As a result of the research, surface with low roughness (Ra = 0.14 μm, Rz = 1.1 μm) was obtained after the face milling. The performed milling allowed to reduce more than 20-fold the roughness of the SLM sample surfaces. The feed rate and the cutting width increase resulted in the surface roughness deterioration. Some milled surfaces were damaged by the chip adjoining to the rake face of the cutting tool back tooth.
