Turning dynamics is investigated using a 3D model that allows for simultaneous workpiece-tool deflections in response to the exertion of nonlinear regenerative force. The workpiece is modeled as a system of three rotors, namely, unmachined, being machined and machined, connected by a flexible shaft. Such a configuration enables the workpiece motion relative to the tool and tool motion relative to the machining surface to be three-dimensionally established as functions of spindle speed, instantaneous depth-of-cut, material removal rate and whirling. The equations of motion for the model are coupled through the nonlinear cutting force. The model is explored by considering the tool geometry. Different stages of stability for the workpiece and the tool subject to the same cutting conditions are studied.

In the present study, Experimental investigation of the effects of various cutting parameters on the response parameters in the hard turning of EN36 steel under the dry cutting condition is done. The input control parameters selected for the present work was the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. The objective of the present work is to minimize the surface roughness to obtain better surface finish and maximization of material removal rate for better productivity. The design of experiments was done with the help of Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to find out the significance of the input parameters on the response parameters. Percentage contribution for each control parameter was calculated using ANOVA with 95 % confidence value. From results, it was observed that feed is the most significant factor for surface roughness and the depth of cut is the most significant control parameter for Material removal rate.

The current research presents an overall performance-based analysis of Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride [[CH3(CH2)5]P(Cl)(CH2)13CH3] ionic fluid mixed with organic coconut oil (OCO) during turning of hardened D2 steel. The application of cutting fluid on the cutting interface was performed through Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) approach keeping an eye on the detrimental consequences of conventional flood cooling. PVD coated (TiN/TiCN/TiN) cermet tool was employed in the current experimental work. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array and TOPSIS are executed to analysis the influences, significance and optimum parameter settings for predefined process parameters. The prime objective of the current work is to analyze the influence of OCO based Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride ionic fluid on flank wear, surface roughness, material removal rate, and chip morphology. Better quality of finish (Ra = 0.2 to 1.82 µm) was found with 1% weight fraction but it is not sufficient to control the wear growth. Abrasion, chipping, groove wear, and catastrophic tool tip breakage are recognized as foremost tool failure mechanisms. The significance of responses have been studied with the help of probability plots, main effect plots, contour plots, and surface plots and the correlation between the input and output parameters have been analyzed using regression model. Feed rate and depth of cut are equally influenced (48.98%) the surface finish while cutting speed attributed the strongest influence (90.1%). The material removal rate is strongly prejudiced by cutting speed (69.39 %) followed by feed rate (28.94%) whereas chip reduction coefficient is strongly influenced through the depth of cut (63.4%) succeeded by feed (28.8%). TOPSIS significantly optimized the responses with 67.1 % gain in closeness coefficient.

This paper investigates the machinability characteristics of end milling operation to yield minimum tool wear with the maximum material removal rate using RSM. Twenty-seven experimental runs based on Box-Behnken Design of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) were performed by varying the parameters of spindle speed, feed and depth of cut in different weight percentage of reinforcements such as Silicon Carbide (SiC-5%, 10%,15%) and Alumina (Al2O3-5%) in alluminium 7075 metal matrix. Grey relational analysis was used to solve the multi-response optimization problem by changing the weightages for different responses as per the process requirements of quality or productivity. Optimal parameter settings obtained were verified through confirmatory experiments. Analysis of variance was performed to obtain the contribution of each parameter on the machinability characteristics. The result shows that spindle speed and weight percentage of SiC are the most significant factors which affect the machinability characteristics of hybrid composites. An appropriate selection of the input parameters such as spindle speed of 1000 rpm, feed of 0.02 mm/rev, depth of cut of 1 mm and 5% of SiC produce best tool wear outcome and a spindle speed of 1838 rpm, feed of 0.04 mm/rev, depth of cut of 1.81 mm and 6.81 % of SiC for material removal rate.

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.

To assure desire quality of machined products at minimum machining costs and maximum material removal rate, it is very important to select optimum parameters when metal cutting machine tool are used. Minimum Surface Roughness (Ra) is commonly desirable for the component; however Material Removal Rate (MRR) should be maximized. This chapter presents an approach for determination of the best cutting parameters precede to minimum Ra and maximum MRR simultaneously by integrating Response Surface Methodology with Multi-Objective Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution and Teaching and learning based optimization algorithm in face milling of Al-6061 alloy. 30 experiments have been conducted based on RSM with 4 parameters, namely Speed, Feed, Depth of Cut and Coolant Speed and three levels each. ANOVA is performed to find the most influential input parameters for both MRR and Ra. Later the multi-objective attribution selection method TOPSIS and multi objective optimization method TLBO is used to optimize the responses.

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.

Grinding energy efficiency depends on the appropriate selection of cutting conditions, grinding wheel, and workpiece material. Additionally, the estimation of specific energy consumption is a good indicator to control the consumed energy during the grinding process. Consequently, this study develops a model of material-removal rate to estimate specific energy consumption based on the measurement of active power consumed in a plane surface grinding of C45K with different thermal treatments and AISI 304. This model identifies and evaluates the dissipated power by sliding, ploughing, and chip formation in an industrial-scale grinding process. Furthermore, the instantaneous positions of abrasive grains during cutting are described to study the material-removal rate. The estimation of specific chip-formation energy is similar to that described by other authors on a laboratory scale, which allows to validate the model and experiments. Finally, the results show that the energy consumed by sliding is the main mechanism of energy dissipation in an industrial-scale grinding process, where it is denoted that sliding energy by volume unity decreases as the depth of cut and the speed of the workpiece increase.
