Multiresponse Optimization

Optimization in turning means determination of the optimal set of the machining parameters to satisfy the objectives within the operational constraints. These objectives may be the minimum tool wear, the maximum metal removal rate (MRR), or any weighted combination of both. The main machining parameters which are considered as variables of the optimization are the cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius. The optimum set of these four input parameters is determined for a particular job-tool combination of 7075Al alloy-15 wt. % SiC (20–40 μm) composite and tungsten carbide tool during a single-pass turning which minimizes the tool wear and maximizes the metal removal rate. The regression models, developed for the minimum tool wear and the maximum MRR were used for finding the multiresponse optimization solutions. To obtain a trade-off between the tool wear and MRR the, a method for simultaneous optimization of the multiple responses based on an overall desirability function was used. The research deals with the optimization of multiple surface roughness parameters along with MRR in search of an optimal parametric combination (favorable process environment) capable of producing desired surface quality of the turned product in a relatively lesser time (enhancement in productivity). The multi-objective optimization resulted in a cutting speed of 210 m/min, a feed of 0.16 mm/rev, a depth of cut of 0.42 mm, and a nose radius of 0.40 mm. These machining conditions are expected to respond with the minimum tool wear and maximum the MRR, which correspond to a satisfactory overall desirability.

The set-up of machining parameters for non-ferric materials such as wood and wood-based materials is not yet defined on a scientific basis. In this paper, a new rapid experimental method to assess the specific cutting coefficients when routing isotropic and orthotropic wood-based materials is presented. The method consists of routing, with different depths of cut, a given material previously machined to a round shape after having it fixed on a dynamometric platform able to measure the cutting forces. The execution of subsequent cuts using different depths of cut allows the calculation of the specific cutting coefficients. With the measurement being done during real routing operations, a method to remove machine vibrations was also developed. The specific cutting coefficients were computed for the whole set of grain orientations for orthotropic materials and as an average for isotropic ones. The aim of this paper is to present and validate the whole method by machining selected materials such as Polytetrafluoroethylene—PTFE (isotropic), Medium Density Fiberboard—MDF (isotropic), beech Laminate Veneer Lumber—LVL (orthotropic) and poplar LVL (orthotropic). The method and the proposed analysis have been shown to work very effectively and could be used for optimization and comparison between materials and processes.

Purpose The main aim of the study was to measure the cutting forces and chip shapes based on different machining parameters. Design/methodology/approach To get the best optimal machining conditions, it is essential to use the best combination of machining parameters. Although some machining parameters are not important for the process, there are machining parameters which are very important for the machining process. Findings It is essential to determine which machining parameters are the most dominant to make the optimal machining conditions. Originality/value Six different chip shapes are obtained according to ISO standardization. It was determined that the different cutting forces occurred for the different chip shapes.

This paper presents a new quantitative sensitivity analysis of cutting performances in orthogonal machining with restricted contact and flat-faced tools, based on a recently developed slip-line model. Cutting performances are comprehensively measured by five machining parameters, i.e., the cutting forces, the chip back-flow angle, the chip up-curl radius, the chip thickness, and the tool-chip contact length. It is demonstrated that the percentage of contribution of tool-chip friction to the variation of cutting performances depends on different types of machining operations. No general conclusion about the effect of tool-chip friction should be made before specifying a particular type of machining operation and cutting conditions.

Abstract Tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) are ideally suited to a wide range of density applications such as counterweights, inertial masses, radiation shielding, sporting goods and ordnance products. Manufacturing of these components essentially require machining to achieve desired finish, dimensions and tolerances However, machining of WHAs are extremely challenging because of higher values of elastic stiffness and hardness. Hence, there is a need to find the right combination of cutting parameters to carry out the machining operations efficiently. In the present work, turning tests are conducted on three different grades of WHAs, namely, 90WHA, 95WHA and 97WHA. Taguchi analysis is carried out to find out the most contributing factor as well as optimum cutting parameters that can give higher metal removal rate (MRR), lower surface roughness and lower cutting forces. It is observed that feed rate is the most prominent factor with percentage contribution varying in the range of 46–61%; whereas cutting speed has least effect on cutting forces, especially for 95WHA and 97WHA. Optimum values of forces, surface roughness and MRR and the corresponding machining parameters to be taken are presented. It is observed that 95W WHA has slightly better machinability as compared to other two grades since it gives highest MRR with lowest cutting forces and surface roughness values. The optimum machining parameter settings, so predicted, can be utilized to machine WHAs efficiently for manufacture of counter weights and inertial masses used in aerospace applications.

In order to acquire high machining quality and minimum machining time, cutting forces are usually modeled to understand the milling process, simulate or predict cutting forces, and optimize the machining parameters. In this paper, side milling tests were conducted on superalloy Inconel 718 with a solid carbide end mill, and the cutting forces vs. cutting time were measured. The average cutting forces were extracted from the measured instantaneous cutting forces under different feed rates of experiments, and the components of the shear forces and edge forces were determined by using the linear regression of the experimental data. The cutting force coefficients, including shear force coefficients and edge force coefficients, were identified. In addition, the algorithms of the mathematical model were implemented in Matlab. The predicted cutting forces were in good agreement with the experimentally measured forces, and the validation of the cutting force model was demonstrated.
