The effect of experimental error in tool life testing on the determination of the minimum cost cutting speed (Vmin) is investigated by using the concept of statistical inference. It is shown that Vmin is not uniquely defined but lies within a probable interval of cutting speeds, and that this interval is affected by the cost and time parameters and the experimental range of feed in tool life testing. The selection of a specific speed from the Vmin confidence interval is illustrated by a decision rule based on the minimax principle.

In the specialized literature the cost of the machining process has been analyzed using a number of approaches and varying degrees of simplification to determine the optimum tool life and the tool speed. The accuracy of prediction is dependent on the degree of sophistication of the model. The purpose of this paper is the optimization of the cutting tool life and the cutting speed at the drilling of the stainless steels in terms of the minimum machining cost. A more comprehensive nonlinear programming model to minimize the total cost at the drilling of a stainless steel is developed in this paper. The optimum tool life and the associated tool speed are obtained by solving this model. The results can be taken into consideration in the educational studies and in the theoretical technical research. They can be implemented in the manufacturing activity.

Abstract In cutting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the cutting speed is limited since a high cutting temperature leads to severe tool wear and short tool life, resulting in poor production efficiency. On the other hand, some recent literature has reported that various beneficial effects can be provided by forming micro-textures on the tool surface in the metal cutting process. In this study, in order to achieve high-performance machining of Ti-6Al-4V, we first investigated the mechanism of the tool failure process for a cemented carbide cutting tool in high-speed turning of Ti-6Al-4V. Based on the results, cutting tools with micro textured surfaces were developed under the consideration of a cutting fluid action. A series of experiments showed that the textured rake face successfully decreases the cutting temperature, resulting in a significant suppression of both crater wear and flank wear. In addition, the temperature zone where the texture tool is effective in terms of the tool life in the Ti-6Al-4V cutting was discussed.

Abstract Changing worn tools is a major concern in planning operations on machining systems. Strategies for replacing tools range from changing each tool as it reaches its projected tool life, to changing all tools when the tool with the shortest life on the machining system is expended. Intermediate strategies involve changing tools in groups. Each of these strategies has two cost components associated with it: (1) the cost of lost production due to machine tool stoppage, and (2) the cost of unused tool life. The best tool grouping strategy minimizes the combined cost of lost production. In this paper we present an approach for finding good tool grouping strategies from inputs that include the tool utilization for a given machining application, and the tooling and machining system costs. A genetic algorithm is used as the underlying optimization paradigm for finding the minimum cost strategy. An example is presented for a part produced on a machining center.

This paper deals with the Cr-CrN-(Cr0.35Ti0.40Al0.25)N coating. It has a three-layered architecture with a nano-structured wear-resistant layer. The studies involved the investigation into the microstructure (with the use of SEM and TEM), elemental and phase composition (XRD and SAED patterns), wear process pattern in scratch testing, crystal structure, as well as the microhardness of the coating. Cutting tests of tools with the above coating were carried out in dry turning of steel 1045 at cutting speeds of vc = 200, 250, and 300 m·min−1. The comparison included uncoated tools and tools with the commercial TiN and (Ti,Al)N coatings with the same thickness. The tool with the Cr-CrN-(Cr0.35Ti0.40Al0.25)N coating showed the longest tool life at all the cutting speeds under consideration. Meanwhile, a tool with the coating under study can be recommended for use in turning constructional steel at the cutting speed of vc = 250 m·min−1. At this cutting speed, a tool shows the combination of a rather long tool life and balanced wear process, without any threat of catastrophic wear.

It is necessary for cutting simulation to determine the friction model at the tool-chip interface suitable for metal cutting process. Cutting force experiments in orthogonal turning titanium alloy TI6AL4V are carried out with cement carbide tool KW10. The Coulomb frictions at the tool-chip interface are calculated based on measured cutting force, and the friction model is regressed, where cutting speed and feed rate are presented.

Introduction of the concept of ploughing into the metal-cutting process lead to the abandoning of the assumption of collinearity of the resultant force on tool face and on the shear plane. With this understanding the tool face force is found to produce a bending effect causing bending stresses in the shear zone. Study of the chip formation mechanism when varying cutting speed showed that increased bending action reduces the shear angle and vice versa. A set-up for the development of an analytical model of the chip formation process based on the combined effect of shear and bending stresses in the shear zone has been given. Application of the gained insight to the design of the cutting tool for maximum tool life by controlling of the chip-tool contact was suggested. Brief introduction to the study of cyclic events in chip formation and their relation to the tool life is presented.

Determination of optimum cutting speed in the lathe process should be considered in order to produce minimal machining costs and maximum production. Research The determination of optimum cutting speed was done to investigate the effect of cutting speed when cutting AISI 4140 steel against cost and production obtained. This study was conducted experimentally using lathe and theoretical calculations to determine machining costs and the amount of production produced. The lathe process is carried out using carbide cutting tools for cutting of AISI 4140 steel metal. In this machining the data obtained is the cutting time of the machining process tail loading process then the data is incorporated into the equation together with the cutting force, the cost of the cutting tools, the workpiece, the cost labourers. Then from the calculation results obtained by graph machining cost and production amount. Based on the graph, it is observed minimal machining cost and maximum production amount to know the optimum cutting point. The results obtained .The increase in cutting rate gives effect to the increase of production quantity, while for calculation of machining cost has decreased. Machining time has a significant effect on the change of production quantity and machining cost. The optimal cutting speed (Vcopt) is 269 m / min.
