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.

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.

Purpose The paper aims to analyze chip formation during machining process since it can be a very important indicator for the quality of the machining process, as some chip forms can be undesirable. Design/methodology/approach It is essential to determine the sensitivity of the chip formation on the basis of different machining parameters. The main goal of the study was to analyze the sensitivity of the chip formation during the machining process by using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Findings According to the results, the chip formation is the most sensitive to feed rate. Originality/value Different cutting tests were performed to monitor the chip formation on the basis of the cutting forces and the cutting displacement. ANFIS was used to estimate the sensitivity of the chip formation during the cutting process on the basis of different parameters.

Purpose – Glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) contain two phases of materials with drastically distinguished mechanical and thermal properties, which brings in complicated interactions between the matrix and the reinforcement during machining. Surface quality and dimensional precision will greatly affect parts during their useful life especially in cases where the components will be in contact with other elements or materials during their useful life. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of the Taguchi method with fuzzy logic to optimise the machining parameters for machining of GFRP composites with multiple characteristics. Design/methodology/approach – The machining tests were performed on a CNC milling machine using solid carbide (K10) End mill cutting tool with three different helix angles. Experiments were planned using Taguchi’s orthogonal array with the cutting conditions prefixed. Findings – The machining parameters, namely, helix angle of the end mill cutter, spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and work piece fibre orientation (specially applied to the GFRP composites) were optimised with considerations of multiple response characteristics, including machining force, material removal rate, and delamination. The results from confirmation runs indicated that the determined optimal combination of machining parameters improved the performance of the machining process. Originality/value – Multi-response optimisation of machinability behaviour of GFRP composites using fuzzy logic has not been attempted previously.

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of micro-milling process with finite element modeling (FEM) analysis to predict cutting forces. The micro-milling of Inconel 718 is conducted using high-speed steel (HSS) micro-end mill cutter of 1mm diameter. The machining parameters considered for simulation are feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut which are varied at three levels. The FEM analysis of machining process is divided into three parts, i.e., pre-processer, simulation and post-processor. In pre-processor, the input data are provided for simulation. The machining process is further simulated with the pre-processor data. For data extraction and viewing the simulated results, post-processor is used. A set of experiments are conducted for validation of simulated process. The simulated and experimental results are compared and the results are found to be having a good agreement.

Particleboard is a wood based composite extensively used in wood working. Drilling is the most commonly used machining process in furniture industries. The surface characteristics and the damage free drilling are significantly influenced by the machining parameters. The thrust force developed during drilling play a major role in gaining the surface quality and minimizing the delamination tendency. In this study trials were made eighteen durability tools for different values of the parameters analyzed cut. Based on the results obtained from the study, the effect of cutting parameters selected signals of axial force and torque cutting. Proposed mathematical models using ANOVA, allowing to estimate the cutting forces.

Findings – The results from confirmation runs indicated that the determined optimal combination of machining parameters improved the performance of the machining process. Originality/value – The machinability behaviour of CFRP composites during milling of CFRP composites using Taguchi method with fuzzy logic has not been previously analysed.

More than 380,000 hips are replaced with total joint prostheses each year in the U.S. Wear debris generated by metal-on-metal implant designs is of concern due to potential adverse biological effects arising from chronic exposure of human tissue to the wear debris. This paper presents a new methodology for optimizing the wear performance of prosthesis made of Co-Cr-Mo alloys by varying tool edge geometry and machining conditions to alter the wear behavior of this alloy, while also controlling the residual stresses induced during the machining process. The machining process causes inhomogeneous inelastic deformations near the surface layer of machined parts which create residual stresses in the surface of machined components. Residual stresses in the machined surface and the subsurface are affected by cutting tool material, tool geometry, workpiece, tool-work interface conditions, and the cutting parameters such as feed rate, depth of cut and cutting speed. In the current work, residual stresses were measured using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The surface residual stresses in two directions (radial and hoop) were measured on the machined pins after machining with different machining conditions, but prior to the wear test. Wear behavior of Co-Cr-Mo alloy pin specimens, produced from machining with varying tool edge geometry and machining conditions, was studied using a custom-made biaxial motion pin-on-disc tribological testing system in which the pin specimen is immersed in a simulated bio-fluid environment. Wear-induced weight loss (± 10 μg) and changes in surface roughness (± 0.001 μm) were obtained at 100,000 cycle intervals upto 500,000 cycles. Metallographic analysis was performed on the machined pin specimens to analyze the microstructure and microhardness before and after testing. The rate of wear for the specimens was lowest for those pins where the change of the subsurface microhardness was small due to prevention of additional steady state wear after the initial run-in wear in the wear tester. A combination or response surface methodology and genetic algorithm (GA) was used in to optimize the various machining parameters for minimized wear generation. The optimal combination of the four machining parameters (feed 0.18mm/rev, nose radius 0.6 mm, cutting speed 27.6 m/min and depth of cut 0.38) produced the largest compressive residual stresses on the surface and subsurface of the implants thereby reducing the wear/debris generation by about fifty percent.

Efficient machining of advanced Ti- and Ni-based alloys, which are typically difficult-to-machine, is a challenge that needs to be addressed by the industry. During a typical machining operation of such alloys, high cutting forces imposed by a tool on the work-piece material lead to severe deformations in the process zone, along with high stresses, strains and temperatures in the material, eventually affecting the quality of finished work-piece. Conventional machining (CT) of Ti- and Ni-based alloys is typically characterized by low depths of cuts and relatively low feed rates, thus adversely affecting the material removal rates (MRR) in the machining process. In the present work, a novel machining technique, known as Ultrasonically Assisted Turning (UAT) is shown to dramatically improve machining of these intractable alloys. The developed machining process is capable of high MRR with an improved surface quality of the turned work-piece. Average cutting forces are significantly lower in UAT when compared to those in traditional turning techniques at the same machining parameters, demonstrating the capability of vibration-assisted machining as a viable machining method for the future.
