This paper investigates numerical and experimental study of end milling of titanium alloy Ti–6% Al–4% V using carbide insert based cutting tool. The experiments were carried out under dry cutting conditions. The cutting speeds selected for the experiments are 20,30,40,50 mmin–1. The feed rates used in the experiment were 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 mmrev–1, while depth of cut is kept constant at 1.0 mm. For conducting the experiments single insert based cutting tool is based. For a range of cutting speeds and feeds measurements of cutting force, surface roughness and cutting temperature have been recorded. From the experimental study it can be seen that cutting speed has the significant effect on temperature when compared to feed/tooth. Further it is also found that cutting speed of 30 m min−1 and feed rate of 0.02 mm rev−1 could be used for machining Ti alloy. Moreover the experimental and numerical cutting force values are compared.

One of the important aspects of machining is the measurement of the cutting forces acting on the tool. The information of forces is required for evaluation of power requirements, designing tool holder, machine tool elements and fixture. In this research, the effect of cutting condition on cutting force when turning untreated Al-11%Si-1.8%Cu and Sb-treated alloys was investigated. PVD TiN coated insert as cutting tool under oblique dry cutting process utilized. Experiments were conducted at three different cutting speeds of 70, 130 and 250 m/min with feed rates of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 mm/rev, whereas depth of cut was kept constant at 0.05 mm. The results revealed that turning of Sb-treated alloys requires higher cutting force in comparison to untreated alloy. The cutting force values increased about four times with increasing feed rate from 0.05 mm/rev to 0.15 mm/rev. Furthermore, the cutting force decreased with increasing cutting speed from 70 m/min to 250 m/min.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on cutting force and temperature in cutting of hardened W18Cr4V with PCBN cutter. Three components of cutting force were recorded by a strain-gauge dynamometer and the cutting temperature was measured by a nature thermocouple of tool-workpiece. The cutting parameters were arranged by orthogonal method. It is shown that the cutting temperature increased with each of the three cutting parameters and the main effecting factor is feeding speed. The three components of cutting force increased greatly with an increase in feeding speed and cutting depth. But the forces decreased a little as cutting speed increased. The main and axial cutting forces depend mainly on cutting depth whereas the radius force is mainly influenced by feeding speed.

Cutting Speeds

In pocketing operation for mold and die, the variation of tool engagement angle causes variation in the cutting force and also cutting temperature. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of tool engagement on cutting temperature when using the contour in tool path strategy for different cutting speeds. Cutting speeds of 150, 200 and 250m/min, feedrate from 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 mm/tooth and depths of cut of 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mm were applied for the cutting process. The result shows that by increasing cutting speed, the cutting temperature would rise. Varying the tool engagement also varied the cutting temperature. This can be seen clearly when the tool makes a 90oturn and along the corner region. Along the corner, the engagement angle varies accordingly with the radial depth of cut.

Cutting Speeds

Titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V, has been widely used in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and chemical industries due to its exceptional strength to weight ratio, high temperature performance, and corrosion resistance. However, machinability of Ti6Al4V is poor due to high strength at elevated temperatures, low modulus, and low thermal conductivity. Poor machinability of Ti6Al4V deteriorates the surface integrity of the machined surface. Poor surface integrity causes high machining cost, surface defects, initiate cracks, and premature failure of the machined surface. Thus, it is indispensable to obtain better surface integrity when machining titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut have significant effect on the surface integrity when machining titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Hence, this study investigates surface integrity of Ti6Al4V by ball end milling at different cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Microstructure of subsurface is studied at different cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. The results show that the depth of deformation of subsurface increases with increase in the cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 115-121

Laser Assisted Machining

The Machining of titanium alloys is challenging because of their high strength, low thermal conductivity, high chemical reactivity, and high stresses at the cutting tool edges. Laser-assisted machining is an effective way to improve the machinability of titanium alloys. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the machinability of cutting force and surface roughness in laser-assisted end milling of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. The absorptivity of Ti-6Al-4V was determined by conducting preheating experiments using a high-power diode laser with a wavelength of 940–980 nm. A thermal analysis was performed using the finite element method to predict temperature distribution. The depth of cut was determined where tensile strength decreased sharply, and the predicted surface temperature is presented in the analysis results. The experiments were performed with conventional machining and laser-assisted machining. Surface roughness, tool wear, and cutting force were evaluated. In contrast to the results of conventional end milling, laser-assisted end milling improved surface roughness. Moreover, laser-assisted end milling proved more effective than conventional end milling in terms of cutting tool damage. Our results proved that heat assistance significantly influenced the magnitude of the cutting forces—while the actual reduction in forces varied slightly depending on the force component, cutting tool, and cutting conditions, force components showed a reduction of roughly 13–46%.

This paper presents the performance of uncoated carbide cutting tool when machining cast iron in dry cutting conditions. Experiments were conducted at various cutting speeds, feed rates, and depths of cut according to Taguchi method design of experiment using a standard orthogonal array L 9(34). The effects of cutting speeds (100-146 m/min), feed rates (0.20-0.35 mm/tooth) and depths of cut (1.0-2.0 mm) on the tool life, surface roughness and cutting forces were evaluated using ANOVA. Results showed that the effects of cutting speed, depth of cut and the feed rate were similar affecting the failure of the carbide cutting tools within the range of tested machining parameters. The contribution of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut in controlling the tool life were 32.12%, 38.56% and 29.32% respectively. Whereas, the cutting speed was the main factor influencing the average surface roughness (Ra) value followed by feed rate. These factors contribute 60.53% and 35.59% respectively to the Ra value. On the other hand, cutting forces generated were greatly influenced by the depth of cut (66.52%) and the feed rate (32.6%). Cutting speed was found insignificant in controlling the generated cutting forces.

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.

Titanium Alloy Ti6al4v

Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V has poor machinability, which leads to high unit cutting force and cutting temperature, rapid tool failure. In this study, the effect of the cutting speed, feed rate and cooling condition on cutting force and cutting temperature is critically analysed by turning experiment. At the same time, the relationship is established among tool wear, cutting force and cutting temperature. This investigation has shown that cutting speed is the decisive factor which increasing cutting force and cutting temperature. In the process of turning, tool wear results in high amounts of heat and mechanical stress, which leads to serious tool wear. The Minimal Quantity Lubrication reduces the frictional condition at the chip-tool, decreases cutting force and cutting temperature, and delays the tool failure.

The aim of this study were to evaluate the performance of PVD (TiAlN+TiN) and CVD (TiCN+Al2O3+TiN) coated inserts in end milling of EN–31 hardened die steel of 43±1 HRC during dry and MQL (Minimum quantity lubrication) machining. The experiments were conducted at a fixed feed rate, depth of cut and varying cutting speed to measure the effect of cutting speed on cutting force and tool wear of CVD and PVD-coated inserts. The performance of CVD and PVD-coated inserts under dry and MQL condition by measuring the tool wear and cutting force were compared. During cutting operation, it was noticed that PVD inserts provide less cutting force and tool wear as compared to the CVD inserts under both dry as well as the MQL condition because PVD inserts have a thin insert coating and CVD inserts have a thick insert coating, but PVD inserts experience catastrophic failure during cutting operation whereas CVD inserts have a capability for continuous machining under different machining. Tool wear has measured by SEM analysis. The result shows that MQL machining provides the optimum results as compared to the dry condition. MQL machining has the ability to work under high cutting speed. As the cutting speed increases the performance of dry machining was decreased, but in MQL machining, the performance of the inserts was increased with increases of cutting speed. MQL machining generates less cutting force on the cutting zone and reduces the tool wear which further increase the tool life.
