This study investigates the optimization of micro milling EDM process parameters to achieve multiple performance characteristics (low electrode depletion (ED), high material removal rate (MRR) and low overcut) in the Inconel 718 by the Grey-Taguchi method. Experimental results show that the electrode depletion decreased from 0.56 to 0.52 10-8 mm3/min, the material removal rate increased from 0.47 to 1.68 10-8 mm3/min and the overcut decreased from 1.27 to 1.19 μm under optimal micro milling EDM process parameters. Furthermore, control charts tell us when special causes of variation are impacting machining process. Control charts are basic and powerful tools in statistical process control and are widely used to control various industrial processes. The aim of statistical process control is to explore the predictability of a process. It was found that the EDM process and product characteristics are stable over time.

An analysis of cutting force performance in the micro milling on steel has been carried out based on an experimental work using micro flat end mills on a precision CNC machine tool. It has been found that cutting forces occurred at low feed per tooth are relatively high by assessing the averaged peak forces from the experiments. When feed per tooth is relatively close to tool edge radius, the forces were not growing in linearity with the increasing feedrate. This finding indicates the significance of ploughing phenomenon as an effect of tool edge radius in micro milling.

The experimental investigation of process characteristics while performing micro-milling on hybrid aluminium metal matrix composite is discussed in this article. High Speed Steel micro end mill cutters are used for machining of micro-slots on Al6063 metal matrix composite reinforced with zirconia and silicon carbide. The tools are also treated cryogenically at -196°C using liquid nitrogen with a holding time of 24 hours. For this investigation, machining parameters like feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut are considered as the process parameters. The effect of the process parameters on the material removal rate and surface roughness for hybrid metal matrix composite are analyzed. In addition, tools wear for untreated and cryo-treated single tempered tools are also investigated. The output responses i.e., material removal rate and surface roughness of cryo-treated tools exhibit better results than untreated tool due to increase in strength, hardness and wear resistance.

This paper investigates the effects of the cutting tool edge radius on the cutting forces and stability lobes in micro-milling. The investigation is conducted based on recently developed models for prediction of micro-milling cutting forces and stability lobes. The developed models consider the nonlinearities of the micro-milling process, such as nonlinear cutting forces due to cutting velocity dependencies, edge radius effect and run-out presence. A number of finite element analyses (FEA) are performed to obtain the cutting forces in orthogonal cutting which are used for determining the micro-milling cutting forces. The chip morphology obtained for different tool edge radii using FEA is presented. It is observed that at large tool edge radii the influence of the ploughing effect become more significant factor on the chip morphology. The results related to micro-milling cutting forces and stability lobes show that by enlarging the tool edge radius the micro-milling cutting forces increase while the stability limits decrease.

In the present study, Experimental investigation of the effects of various cutting parameters on the response parameters in the hard turning of EN36 steel under the dry cutting condition is done. The input control parameters selected for the present work was the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. The objective of the present work is to minimize the surface roughness to obtain better surface finish and maximization of material removal rate for better productivity. The design of experiments was done with the help of Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to find out the significance of the input parameters on the response parameters. Percentage contribution for each control parameter was calculated using ANOVA with 95 % confidence value. From results, it was observed that feed is the most significant factor for surface roughness and the depth of cut is the most significant control parameter for Material removal rate.
