A new structure design was presented to prolong the tool life for hot metal working. The tool surface deteriorates quickly when attacked under continuous severe sliding conditions by hot metal at a temperature above 1473 K. Observations were made on guide shoes used in seamless tube rolling to reach the conclusion that enlargement of the size and change in the structure of chromium carbide prolong the tool life. This is contrary to the structure design of high-speed steel for which small carbide is recommended. The validity of the new tool was verified both in laboratory tests and in the production line.

The growing cost associated with insurance, handling and disposing of conventional metal working fluids (oil and water based) continues to drive a need for alternative metal working fluids. An orthogonal tube turning machining experiment on AISI 1020 alloy steel was conducted to study the performance of High Speed Steel (HSS) tool inserts and carbide tool inserts utilizing cold compressed air and liquid nitrogen environments as the metal working fluid of choice The use of both high speed steel and carbide inserts allowed for direct comparison of geometrically identical inserts in customized tool holders that were used to present the tools with the geometrically identical tool rake angle alpha. Tool holder stiffness was therefore common to all tool rake angles compared. AISI 1020 steel was used because of its commercially dominant availability and usage. Cold cryogenic cooling was selected because of its growing usage in high performance machining applications. The use of cold compressed air has been much less studied in the machining of metals than in the machining of plastics and composites where it is quite commonly used. The comparisons between these two methods represent the first published values comparing the current extremes of gaseous metal working fluid applications in a commercial steel. This statistically designed experiment produced a large amount of comparative data that focused on the wear of the tools in two different cutting environments allowing for multivariate analysis of variance and regressive curve fitting. The orthogonal tube turning was set up on a conventional two axis HAAS TL-2 CNC tool room lathe. Forces were collected utilizing a standard Kistler force dynamometer to record the force data in X, Y and Z axes. Two levels of uncut chip thickness, 0.002 and 0.004” per revolution were maintained with a constant feed and depth of cut of 0.125” at different tool rake angles of 0°, 7° and 15°, with no chip breaker installed in the tool. Tool rake angles and depth of cuts were selected to ensure maximum statistical power/decisiveness of the experiment. The experiment was carried out for duration of 1 minute while the force data was collected for the entire duration of cut. New tool insert was used for each factor level combination. The traditional force analysis results are provided for an orthogonal tube turning experiment. In addition, all tools were analyzed for 3-dimensional rake face wear using an innovative Keyence white light microscope. Surprisingly, the inexpensive, simple cold compressed air produced less wear than the more expensive liquid nitrogen for all cutting factor level combinations.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is extensively used to manufacture different conductive materials, including difficult to machine materials with intricate profiles. Powder Mixed Electro-Discharge Machining (PMEDM) is a modern innovation in promoting the capabilities of conventional EDM. In this process, suitable materials in fine powder form are mixed in the dielectric fluid. An equal percentage of graphite and silicon carbide powders have been mixed together with the transformer oil and used as the dielectric media in this work. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of some process parameters such as peak current, pulse-on time, and powder concentration of machining High-speed steel (HSS)/(M2) on the material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and the surface roughness (Ra). Experiments have been designed and analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach by adopting a face-centered central composite design (FCCD). It is found that added graphite-silicon carbide mixing powder to the dielectric fluid enhanced the MRR and Ra as well as reduced the TWR at various conditions. Maximum MRR was (0.492 g/min) obtained at a peak current of (24 A), pulse on (100 µs), and powder concentration (10 g/l), minimum TWR was (0.00126 g/min) at (10 A, 100 µs, and 10 g/l), and better Ra was (3.51 µm) at (10 A, 50 µs, and 10 g/l).

Discharge Machining is a non-traditional machining technique and usually applied for hard metals and complex shapes that difficult to machining in the traditional cutting process. This process depends on different parameters that can affect the material removal rate and surface roughness. The electrode material is one of the important parameters in Electro –Discharge Machining (EDM). In this paper, the experimental work carried out by using a composite material electrode and the workpiece material from a high-speed steel plate. The cutting conditions: current (10 Amps, 12 Amps, 14 Amps), pulse on time (100 µs, 150 µs, 200 µs), pulse off time 25 µs, casting technique has been carried out to prepare the composite electrodes copper-sliver. The experimental results showed that Copper-Sliver (weight ratio70:30) gives better results than commonly electrode copper, Material Removal Rate (MRR) Copper-Sliver composite electrode reach to 0.225 gm/min higher than the pure Copper electrode. The lower value of the tool wear rate achieved with the composite electrode is 0.0001 gm/min. The surface roughness of the workpiece improved with a composite electrode compared with the pure electrode.
