Chromium Carbide Coatings

This paper reports an experimental study on grinding of chromium carbide coatings using electroplated diamond wheels. The work was motivated by machining carbide coatings in gas turbine engine applications. The objective is to explore the process conditions and parameters satisfying the ground surface quality requirements. Surface grinding experiments were conducted with water-based grinding fluid on chromium carbide coated on flat surfaces of aluminum blocks for rough grinding at a fixed wheel speed vs = 30 m/s, and finish grinding at vs = 30, 60 m/s. The effects of depth of cut and workspeed on grinding power, forces, and surface roughness were investigated for each of the wheel speeds. Material removal rate Q = 20 mm3/s for rough grinding at a grinding width b = 101.6 mm was achieved. It was found that the maximum material removal rate achievable in rough grinding was restricted by chatters, which was mainly due to the large grinding width. The specific energy ranged from 27 to 59 J/mm3 under the tested conditions. Surface roughness Ra = 3.5–3.8 μm were obtained for rough grinding, while Ra = 0.6–1.5 μm were achieved for finish grinding. Surface roughness was not sensitive to grinding parameters under the tested conditions, but was strongly dependent on the diamond grain sizes. Imposing axial wheel oscillations to the grinding motions reduced surface roughness by about 60% under the tested condition. It was proved that it is feasible to grind the chromium carbide coating with electroplated diamond wheels.

Machining Performance

This manuscript discusses the experimental results on 300 W picosecond laser machining of aerospace-grade nickel superalloy. The effect of the laser’s energetic and beam scanning parameters on the machining performance has been studied in detail. The machining performance has been investigated in terms of surface roughness, sub-surface thermal damage, and material removal rate. At optimal process conditions, a picosecond laser with an average power output of 300 W can be used to achieve a material removal rate (MRR) of ∼140 mm3/min, with thermal damage less than 20 µm. Shorter laser pulse widths increase the material removal rate and reduce the resultant surface roughness. High scanning speeds improve the picosecond laser machining performance. Edge wall taper of ∼10° was observed over all the picosecond laser machined slots. The investigation demonstrates that high-power picosecond lasers can be used for the macro-machining of industrial components at an acceptable speed and quality.

Micro End Milling

Micro end milling is one of the most important micromachining process and widely used for producing miniaturized components with high accuracy and surface finish. This paper present the influence of three micro end milling process parameters; spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR). The machining was performed using multi-process micro machine tools (DT-110 Mikrotools Inc., Singapore) with poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the workpiece and tungsten carbide as its tool. To develop the mathematical model for the responses in high speed micro end milling machining, Taguchi design has been used to design the experiment by using the orthogonal array of three levels L18 (21×37). The developed models were used for multiple response optimizations by desirability function approach to obtain minimum Ra and maximum MRR. The optimized values of Ra and MRR were 128.24 nm, and 0.0463 mg/min, respectively obtained at spindle speed of 30000 rpm, feed rate of 2.65 mm/min, and depth of cut of 40 μm. The analysis of variance revealed that spindle speeds are the most influential parameters on Ra. The optimization of MRR is mostly influence by feed rate.

This paper presents the optimization process of a surface roughness model for the milling 1Cr18Ni9Ti. The model is developed in term of milling speed, feed per tooth and radial depth of cut. Therefore, the regression model predicting formula for surface roughness has been established by means of uniform design of experiment, and then the response surface methodology was applied to generate response contours of surface roughness. The experimental results indicate that the material removal rate can be improved by selecting optimal milling parameters without increasing the surface roughness. Moreover, it is seen that the feed rate is the most significant factor on the surface roughness.

High Speed Machining

Nowadays, titanium alloys are achieving a significant interest in the field of aerospace, biomedical, automobile industries especially due to their extremely high strength to weight ratio, corrosive resistance, and ability to withstand higher temperatures. However, titanium alloys are well known for their higher chemical reactive and low thermal conductive nature which, in turn, makes it more difficult to machine especially at high cutting speeds. Hence, optimization of high-speed machining responses of Ti–6Al–4V has been investigated in the present study using a hybrid approach of multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis (MOORA) integrated with regression and particle swarm approach (PSO). This optimization approach is employed to offer a balance between achieving better surface quality with maintaining an acceptable material removal rate level. The position of global best suggested by the hybrid optimization approach was: Cutting speed 194 m/min, depth of cut of 0.1 mm, feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev, and cutting length of 120 mm. It should be stated that this solution strikes a balance between achieving lower surface roughness in terms of Ra and Rq, with reaching the highest possible material removal rate. Finally, an investigation of the tool wear mechanisms for three studied cases (i.e., surface roughness based, productivity-based, optimized case) is presented to discuss the effectiveness of each scenario from the tool wear perspective.

Typically, the technique layout parameters in machining procedures are noticeably few turning parameters inclusive of reducing velocity, feed and depth. The optimization of speed, feed depth of cut is very tough because of several other elements associated with processing situations and form complexities like surface Roughness, material removal rate (MRR) that are based Parameters. On this task a new fabric glass fibre composite is introduced through which could lessen costing of manufacturing and time and additionally it will boom the technique of productiveness. Composite substances have strength, stiffness, light weight, which gives the large scope to engineering and technology. The proposed research work targets to analyze turning parameters of composite material. The machining parameters are very important in manufacturing industries. The present research work is optimized surface roughness of composite material specifically in turning procedure with the aid of changing parameter including intensity of reduce, slicing velocity and feed price and additionally expect the mechanical houses of composite material. The RSM optimization is important because it evaluates the effects of multiple factors and their interactions on one or more responsive variables. It is observed that the material removal rate increases and surface roughness decreases as per the increase of Spindle speed and feed rate.

Optimal condition selection in machining operations is an imperative decision for the process engineer as it influences improved tool life and surface roughness values. As the aluminium market is extremely competitive, process engineers strive to understand what to do to gain preference from prospective customers. From this viewpoint, the criteria responsible for operating decisions should be examined. In this paper the WSM, WPM and WASPAS multicriteria methods are proposed for optimal machining conditions for turned aluminium bars. A stepwise methodology of the WSM, WPM and WASPAS methods is detailed. The proposed technique was tested on published data regarding the turning of an aluminium bar, machined on a lathe machine. The case study consists of three input parameters (spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and four responses (cutting temperature, cutting force, surface roughness and material removal rate). After analysing the experimental data using the models, the entropy method chose material removal rate was chosen as the best. Using the three other models, the best selection was run 17 which correspond to an input parameter of 605 rpm spindle speed, 0.12 mm/rev feed rate and 1.8 mm depth of cut. This article offers a completely new approach to operating condition selection in the turning of the aluminium bar. In the current aluminium market, it is extremely important to understand the operating conditions of the machine for enlarged customer patronage and sustainability. The unique feature of this approach is the elevated level of reliability it exhibits.

The aim of this research is to study the machinability aspects of hardened AISI 4340 High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel (50 ± 2 HRC (Hardness Rockwell C)). The experimental investigation using coated carbide inserts is carried out during the dry hard milling process in a sustainable environment. The input parameters in the study are speed, feed rate and depth of cut and the responses are Average surface Roughness (Ra) and Material Removal Rate (MRR) that are selected through screening. Central Composite Design (CCD) in response surface methodology has been utilized as the experimental design technique with twenty experiments. Analysis of variance has been employed to examine the momentous machining parameters and responses. A mathematical model has been developed to optimize the surface roughness and material removal rate. It has been observed that the most significant factor for Ra is feed rate while for MRR depth of cut is the most significant factor. The results show that the minimum value of Ra ~ 0.098 μm is achieved at speed ~ 1000 RPM, feed rate ~ 300 mm/min and depth of cut ~ 0.2 mm while the maximum value of MRR ~ 6.35 cm3/min is attained at feed rate ~ 500mm/min and depth of cut ~ 0.4 mm regarding less or no effect of speed ~ 500-1000 RPM. The average forecast error for the validation information has been observed to be 3.35%. for Ra and 3.2% for MRR. Further, it is investigated that good surface finish like grinding and dimensional accuracy can be achieved with coated carbide tools.
