This paper presents the additional work of the previous research in order to verify the previously obtained cutting condition by using the different cutting tool geometries. The effects of the cutting conditions with the dry cutting are monitored to obtain the proper cutting condition for the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool based on the consideration of the surface roughness and the tool life. The dynamometer is employed and installed on the turret of CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting forces. The in-process cutting forces are used to analyze the cutting temperature, the tool wear and the surface roughness. The experimentally obtained results show that the surface roughness and the tool wear can be well explained by the in-process cutting forces. Referring to the criteria, the experimentally obtained proper cutting condition is the same with the previous research except the rake angle and the tool nose radius.

Experimental study has been carried out to establish the effect of cutting conditions (speed, feed, and depth of cut) on the cutting forces and time variation of carbide tool wear data in high-speed machining (face milling) of Al-Si cast alloys that are commonly used in the automotive industry. The experimental setup and force measurement system are described. The test results are used to calibrate and validate the fracture mechanics-based tool wear model developed in Part 1 of this work. The model calibration is conducted for two combinations of cutting speed and a feed rate, which represent a lower and upper limit of the range of cutting conditions. The calibrated model is then validated for a wide range of cutting conditions. This validation is performed by comparing the experimental tool wear data with the tool wear predicted by calibrated cutting tool wear model. The prediction errors were found to be less then 7%, demonstrating the accuracy of the object oriented finite element (OOFE) modeling of the crack propagation process in the cobalt binder. It also demonstrates its capability in capturing the physics of the wear process. This is attributed to the fact that the OOF model incorporates the real microstructure of the tool material.

To understand the effect of the workpiece microstructure on the tool wear behavior, anexperimental investigation was conducted on machining two different microstructures of supertitanium alloys: Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-555. The analysis of tool-chip interface parameters such asfriction, heat flux and temperature rise and the evolution of the workpiece microstructure underdifferent cutting conditions have been discussed. As cutting speed and feed rate increase, the meancutting forces and temperature show different progressions depending on the consideredmicrostructure. Results show that wear modes for cutting tools used in machining the Ti-555 alloyshow contrast from those exhibited by tools used in machining the Ti6AI4V alloy. In fact, onlyabrasion wear was observed for cutting tools in the case of machining the near-β titanium Ti-555alloy. The last alloy is characterized by a fine-sized microstructure (order of 1 μm). For the usualTi6Al4V alloy, adhesion and diffusion modes followed by coating delamination process on the toolsubstrate have been clearly identified. Moreover, a deformed layer was observed under secondaryelectron microscope (SEM) from the sub-surface of the chip with β-grains orientation along thechip flow direction. The analysis of the microstructure confirms the intense deformation of themachined surface and shows a texture modification, without phase transformation. For the Ti-555β-alloy, β grains experiences more plastic deformation and increases the microhardness of theworkpiece inducing then an abrasion wear process for cemented carbide tools. For the Ti6Al4Vmicrostructure, the temperature rise induces a thermal softening process of the workpiece andgenerates adhesive wear modes for cutting tools. The observed worn tool surfaces confirm theeffect of the microstructure on tool wear under different cutting conditions for the two studiedtitanium alloys.

Machining of advancedaerospace materials have grown in the recent years although the hard-to-machinecharacteristics of alloys like titanium or nickel based alloys cause highercutting forces, rapid tool wear, and more heat generation. This paper presentsan experimental evaluation of machining ofInconel718alloy under dry conditions at varying of cutting speeds and feed rates.The influence of the cutting conditions on surface integrity was studied interms of surface roughness, affected layer, grain size variations and phasechanges/modification. Also, the machining process performance was evaluatedthrough the power consumption and tool-wear.

The initial tool wear during machining of titanium metal matrix composite (TiMMCs) is the result of several wear mechanisms: tool layer damage, friction - tribological wear, adhesion, diffusion and brace wear. This phenomenon occurs at the first instant and extends to only ten seconds at most. In this case the adhesive wear is the most important mechanism while the brace wear is considered as a resistance wear layer at the beginning of the steady wear period. In this paper, the effect of the initial tool wear and initial cutting conditions on tool wear progression and tool life is investigated. We proposed herein a new mathematical model based on the scatter wear and Lyapunov exponent to study quantitatively the “chaotic tool wear”. The Chaos theory, which has proved efficient in explaining how something changes in time, was used to demonstrate the dependence of the tool life on the initial cutting conditions and thus contribute to a better understanding of the influence of the initial cutting condition on the tool life. Based on the chaotic tool wear model, the scatter wear dimension and Lyapunov exponents were found to be positive in all case of the initial cutting conditions such as initial speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The initial cutting speed appears however to have the most significant impact on tool life. In particular, the mathematical model was successfully applied to the case of machining TiMMCs. It was clearly shown that changing the initial cutting speed by 20 m/min for the first two seconds of machining instead of keeping it constant at 60 m/min during the whole cutting process leads to an increase in the tool life (up to 24%).

Minimal Quantity

This paper presents an experimental investigation on effects of pressure and nozzle angle of minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) on cutting temperature and flank wear in turning. In manufacturing industries, there are always demands for the optimum cutting conditions for the most economical manufacturing cost. Hence, reduction in tool wear is essential for less expenditure with the knowledge of optimum cutting conditions of MQL. MQL, also known as near dry machining, has been acknowledged as an effective cooling technique in machining by applying vegetable oils in replacing the conventional flooding method due to environmental issues. By varying the operating pressures and nozzle angle with respect to the cutting zone, cutting temperature and flank wear are measured using a calibrated tool work thermocouple and SPG video microscope. Comparison was made between dry cutting, water mist cooling and MQL method with palm oil. Results showed that MQL with palm oil exhibits best cooling efficiency at 5 bar pressure and nozzle angle of 20o with reduction of 35% in tool wear and 23% in cutting temperature at higher cutting speeds.
