The paper presents the discussion about the possibility of optimising heating and cutting parameters for turning under laser assisted machining (LAM) conditions. The samples of Inconel 718 after annealing and ageing were used. The laser heating experiments were carried out on the stand equipped with the CO2 molecular laser. Characterisation of samples was performed by an optical microscope, hardness measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to ensure the exact depth of heat affect zone range and to optimised further cutting parameters. Different absorbing layers for laser beam impact improvement were tested. Turning trials were performed with constant cutting speed vc = 28 m/min and feed f = 0,2 mm/rev. The influence of depth of cut ap on microstructure and its properties were investigated. It was proven that for sequential LAM dendritic structure appears in the laser affected zone of the Ni-based alloy. Such microstructures cause better machinability of Inconel 718 due to surface softening.

Surface finish and dimensional accuracy is one of the most important requirements in machining process. Inconel 718 has been widely used in the aerospace industries. High speed machining (HSM) is capable of producing parts that require little or no grinding/lapping operations within the required machining tolerances. In this study small diameter tools are used to achieve high rpm to facilitate the application of low values of feed and depths of cut to investigate better surface finish in high speed machining of Inconel 718. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on Surface roughness in high speed end milling of Inconel 718. The mathematical model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). Central composite design was employed in developing the surface roughness models in relation to primary cutting parameters. Machining were performed using CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) with a HES510 high speed machining attachment in which using a 4mm solid carbide fluted flat end mill tool. Wyko NT1100 optical profiler was used to measure the definite machined surface for obtaining the surface roughness data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental one and hence the model can be efficiently used to predict the surface roughness value with in the specified cutting conditions limit.

In this paper, Taguchi method was applied to design the cutting experiments when end milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN coated carbide inserts. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio are employed to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on surface roughness, and the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired surface roughness is obtained. An exponential regression model for the surface roughness is formulated based on the experimental results. Finally, the verification tests show that surface roughness generated by the optimal cutting parameters is really the minimum value, and there is a good agreement between the predictive results and experimental measurements.

The experimental study presented in this paper aims to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on cutting forces, and search the optimal cutting parameters for the minimum cutting forces during turning Inconel 718 under dry cutting conditions. Based on Taguchi method, a L25 (53) array was designed to conduct the turning experiments. The experimental results indicate that the best condition for the minimum cutting force components is the combination of 45m/min cutting speed, 0.08mm/r feed rate, and 0.2mm depth of cut. The effects of the cutting parameters on cutting forces are investigated while employing the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Finally, the quadratic regression equations for cutting forces were formulated, which can well describe the relationship between cutting parameters and cutting forces.

This paper presents the results of investigation that was performed on shafts composed of Inconel 718. Tests were performed in dry and wet conditions. Cutting parameters, such as feed and depth of cut, were constant. The cutting speed was changed. The investigation was performed for various shaft shapes: cylindrical, taper 30°, taper 45°, and sphere. For that reason, the value of the angle between the machined surface and the cutting edge changed. The lowest values of the roughness parameters, Ra and Rz, were obtained for a larger value of the angle between the machined surface and cutting edge. The investigation showed that cutting speed, machining conditions (dry and wet machining), and the variable angle between the machined surface and the cutting edge influenced the surface roughness. Application of a higher cutting speed resulted in lower roughness values. Lower values of roughness parameters were obtained by wet machining.

The method to measure the cutting speed when high speed milling nickel alloy Inconel 718 based on semi-artificial thermocouple. The cutting parameters, tool wear and so on the cutting temperature were analyzed. The tests showed that the temperature was gradually increased with the increase of cutting speed. The cutting speed must be more than 600m/min, when the ceramic tools would perform better cutting performance in the high-speed milling nickel-based superalloy. In order to achieve more efficient machining, milling speed can be increased to more than 1000m/min. The impact amount of Radial depth of cut and feed per tooth were relatively small.

The paper presents the result of an investigation of cemented carbides cutting tools performance in interrupted turning of Inconel 718. The discussion is based on case study revealed from industry experience. The spacing created for operational reasons cause interruption in turning process what has crucial effect on tool life and wear. Furthermore cutting parameters and tool geometry have significant influence on creating burr at the edge of spacing which leads dimensional deviation. The research based on two stages, preliminary and modelling, was introduced. In the first an effect of cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, rake angle and tool major cutting edge angle on wear and burr size was investigated. The second step was a regression based modelling of major parameter influence on various process aspects such as values of forces, tool wear and burr size. It was found that the consequential effect on plastic deformation of edge and tool performance have depth of cut. It also has been proven that higher cutting speed, lower values of angles provides better quality of machined element. The paper gives recommendations for turning parameters selection to acceptable burr forms, tool life and process performance.

In this paper, some experiments were conducted to investigate tool wear when end-milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN PVD coated carbide inserts. The worn tools were examined thoroughly under scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and 3D digital microscope to expatiate tool wear morphologies and relevant mechanisms. The flank wear was uniformity in finishing milling process, and the average flank wear were selected as the criterion to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on tool wear. Finally, the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired tool life is obtained.

Surface quality including residual stresses and surface roughness due to turning operations in Inconel 718 were studied as a function of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. By means of X-ray radiation diffraction method, the influence of cutting parameters on residual stress was investigated. The results show that dry cutting of Inconel 718 resulted in predominantly tensile residual stresses at the machined surface and the surface roughness increased with the increase of cutting parameters.The effects of the cutting parameters on surface integrity are investigated while employing the range analysis. From these results it was possible to select a combination of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut that generate favorable surface characteristics.

Abstract The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of application of liquid nitrogen (LN2) in turning of Inconel 718 compared to flooded cutting and select suitable LN2 cutting parameters using response surface methodology (RSM). The results of turning experiments conducted by spraying LN2 to the cutting area of Inconel 718 bar showed that using either low or high cutting parameters, cutting performance of Inconel 718 under the cryogenic condition was generally worse than the flooded cutting. However, using the medium cutting parameters the cutting performance was as good as flooded cutting showing the values of 90 N of cutting force, 60 µm of flank wear and 0.5-0.6 µm of surface roughness (Ra). These parameters were further optimized using desirability function of RSM to determine the set of parameters that provide the lowest cutting force, flank wear and Ra and the highest material removal rate (MRR) under cryogenic cutting. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) performed on the developed regression models showed that cutting speed was the significant factor on cutting force. Feed rate was the most influential parameter on flank wear. Feed rate and depth of cut was significant factors affecting Ra. Multi-objective optimization showed that a cutting speed of 87 m/min, a feed rate of 0.06 mm/rev and a depth of cut of 0.37 mm constituted the optimum cutting parameters for achieving the, cutting force of 78 N, flank wear of 58 µm, Ra of 0.49 µm and the MRR of 1.97 cm3/min under cryogenic cutting condition.
