Turning process is widely used in the production of components for automotive and aerospace applications. The machinability of a work material is commonly assessed in terms of cutting tool life, surface finish, and cutting force. These responses are dependent on machining parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. In this study, the relationships between cutting force, cutting speed, and sensor location in the turning process were investigated. Strain gauge was chosen as the sensor for the detection of cutting force signal during turning of hardened plain carbon steel JIS S45C. Two strain gauges were mounted on a tool holder at a defined location of I, II, or III at a distance of 37, 42, or 47 mm, respectively, from the cutting point. Only one set of machining experiments was conducted at spindle speed = 1000 rpm, feed = 0.25 mm/rev, and depth of cut = 0.80 mm. The turning process was stopped and the insert was discarded when average flank wear reached 0.30 mm. The main cutting force and the feed force for each cycle measured by the strain gauges at location I, II, and III were collected and analyzed. Results show that when cutting speed was increased, the main cutting force and the feed force were decreased accordingly. The change of was inversely proportional to the change of cutting speed, but the did not decrease continuously and behaved contrarily. A strain gauge placed at a distance of approximately 43 mm from the cutting point was found to be the best and most suitable for sensing accurate force signals.

Over the past decade, the focus of the metal cutting industry has been on the improvement of tool life for achieving higher productivity and better finish. Researchers are attempting to reduce tool failure in several ways such as modified coating characteristics of a cutting tool, conventional coolant, cryogenic coolant, and cryogenic treated insert. In this study, a single layer coating was made on cutting carbide inserts with newly determined thickness. Coating thickness, presence of coating materials, and coated insert hardness were observed. This investigation also dealt with the effect of machining parameters on the cutting force, surface finish, and tool wear when turning Ti-6Al-4V alloy without coating and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)-AlCrN coated carbide cutting inserts under cryogenic conditions. The experimental results showed that AlCrN-based coated tools with cryogenic conditions developed reduced tool wear and surface roughness on the machined surface, and cutting force reductions were observed when a comparison was made with the uncoated carbide insert. The best optimal parameters of a cutting speed (Vc) of 215 m/min, feed rate (f) of 0.102 mm/rev, and depth of cut (doc) of 0.5 mm are recommended for turning titanium alloy using the multi-response TOPSIS technique.

The objective of this research is to propose a practical model to predict the in-process surface roughness during the turning process by using the cutting force ratio. The proposed in-process surface roughness model is developed based on the experimentally obtain result by employing the exponential function with six factors of the cutting speed, the feed rate, the rank angle the tool nose radius, the depth of cut, and the cutting force ratio. The multiple regression analysis is utilized to calculate the regression coefficients with the use of the least square method. The prediction accuracy of the in-process surface roughness model has been verified to monitor the in-process predicted surface roughness at 95% confident level. All those parameters have their own characteristics to the arithmetic surface roughness and the surface roughness. It has been proved by the cutting tests that the proposed and developed in-process surface roughness model can be used to predict the in-process surface roughness by utilizing the cutting force ratio with the highly acceptable prediction accuracy.

The turning process has various factors, which affecting machinability and should be investigated. These are surface roughness, tool life, power consumption, cutting temperature, machining force components, tool wear, and chip thickness ratio. These factors made the process nonlinear and complicated. This work aims to build neural network models to correlate the cutting parameters, namely cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate, to the machining force and chip thickness ratio. The turning process was performed on high strength aluminum alloy 7075-T6. Three radial basis neural networks are constructed for cutting force, passive force, and feed force. In addition, a radial basis network is constructed to model the chip thickness ratio. The inputs to all networks are cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate. All networks performances (outputs) for all machining force components (cutting force, passive force and feed force) showed perfect match with the experimental data and the calculated correlation coefficients were equal to one. The built network for the chip thickness ratio is giving correlation coefficient equal one too, when its output compared with the experimental results. These networks (models) are used to optimize the cutting parameters that produce the lowest machining force and chip thickness ratio. The models showed that the optimum machining force was (240.46 N) which can be produced when the cutting speed (683 m/min), depth of cut (3.18 mm) and feed rate (0.27 mm/rev). The proposed network for the chip thickness ratio showed that the minimum chip thickness is (1.21), which is at cutting speed (683 m/min), depth of cut (3.18 mm) and feed rate (0.17 mm/rev).

In the current paper, cutting parameters during turning of AISI 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel are studied and optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the desirability approach. The cutting tool inserts used in this work were the CVD coated carbide. The cutting speed (vc), the feed rate (f) and the depth of cut (ap) were the main machining parameters considered in this study. The effects of these parameters on the surface roughness (Ra), cutting force (Fc), the specific cutting force (Kc), cutting power (Pc) and the Material Removal Rate (MRR) were analyzed by ANOVA analysis.The results showed that f is the most important parameter that influences Ra with a contribution of 89.69 %, while ap was identified as the most significant parameter (46.46%) influence the Fc followed by f (39.04%). Kc is more influenced by f (38.47%) followed by ap (16.43%) and Vc (7.89%). However, Pc is more influenced by Vc (39.32%) followed by ap (27.50%) and f (23.18%).The Quadratic mathematical models, obtained by the RSM, presenting the evolution of Ra, Fc, Kc and Pc based on (vc, f, and ap) were presented. A comparison between experimental and predicted values presents good agreements with the models found.Optimization of the machining parameters to achieve the maximum MRR and better Ra was carried out by a desirability function. The results showed that the optimal parameters for maximal MRR and best Ra were found as (vc = 350 m/min, f = 0.088 mm/rev, and ap = 0.9 mm).

Abstract In this article, a novel approach to computer optimization of CNC toolpaths by adjustment of cutting speed vcand depth of cut apis presented. Available software works by the principle of adjusting feed rate on the basis of calculations and numerical simulation of the machining process. The authors wish to expand upon this approach by proposing toolpath optimization by altering two other basic process parameters. Intricacies and problems related totheadjustment of apand vcwere explained in the introductory part. Simulation of different variant of the same turning process with different parameter values were conducted to evaluate the effect of changes in depth of cut and cutting speed on process performance. Obtained results were investigated on the account of cutting force and tool life. The authors have found that depth of cut substantially affects cutting force, while the effect of cutting speed on it is minimal. An increase in both depth of cut and cutting speed affects tool life negatively, although the impact of cutting speed is much more severe. An increase in depth of cut allows for a more significant reduction of machining time, while affecting tool life less negatively. On the other hand, the adjustment of cutting speed helpsto reduce machining time without increasing cutting force component values and spindle load.

The objective of the paper is to obtain an optimal setting of turning process parameters (cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate) resulting in an optimal value of the feed force when machining En19 steel with tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts. The effects of the selected turning process parameters on feed force and the subsequent optimal settings of the parameters have been accomplished using Taguchi’s parameter design approach. It was indicated by the results that the selected turning process parameters significantly affect the selected machining characteristic. The percent contributions of parameters as quantified in the S/N ANOVA envisage that the relative power of cutting speed (72.09 %) in controlling variation and mean feed force is significantly higher than that of the depth of cut (22.30 %) and feed rate (05.31 %). The predicted optimum feed force is 98.067 N. The results have been validated by the confirmation experiments.
