Abstract Cryogenic manufacturing processes have emerged as environmental-friendly, increase tool life and improve surface integrity of machined components by efficiently removing the heat from the cutting zone. Especially considered to be an efficient method to machine difficult-to-cut metals which are poor thermal conductivity, such as nickel, titanium alloys and polymer materials and so on. Many researchers have studied the effectiveness of cryogenic machining process, such as increasing tool life and improving surface integrity and so on. However, most articles on this topic were not considered the applications of actual industry. Cutting tool is one of the most important parts of industry applications. Most of cutting tools were not designed for cryogenic machining. In this work, the internally cooled turning tool was developed for cryogenic machining. The spray angle and diameter of the outlet were optimized by thermal field simulations. The results showed that 15° injection angle was more suitable to the machining process. Compare to 1mm outlet diameter, 3mm outlet diameter had better cooling effect. And the shape of outlet was optimized. A pressure simulation of the inner channel is carried out. The result shows that the pressure drop from inlet to outlets is only 66.696277Pa (about 6‰). Then, a spray test of the cutting tool was performed. The tests revealed that liquid nitrogen could be transmitted accurately and stably to the tool nose and the machining area. At last, a machining experiment proved that the turning tool could reduce the cutting temperature effectively when machining Ti-6Al-4V.

Laser Assisted Machining

A higher strength and heat resistance are increasingly demanded from the advanced engineering materials with high temperature applications in the aerospace industry. These properties make machining these materials very difficult because of the high cutting forces, cutting temperature and short tool life present. Laser assisted machining uses a laser beam to heat and soften the workpiece locally in front of the cutting tool. The temperature rise at the shear zone reduces the yield strength and work hardening of the workpiece, which make the plastic deformation of the hard-to-machine materials easier during machining. The state-of-the-art, benefits and challenges in laser assisted machining of metallic materials are summarized in this paper, and the improvement of tool life is discussed in relation to laser power, beam position and machining process parameters.

MMCs components are mostly produced using near net shape manufacturing methods and are subsequently machined to the final dimensions and surface finishes. The MMCs consist of extremely hard reinforcing particles and pose considerable challenges due to the poor machinability and severe wear of the cutting tool. In this study, cutting performance of WC, CBN and PCD cutting tools were investigated with respect to surface roughness during machining of 10 wt % SiCp reinforced Al-Si alloy matrix composites produced by powder metallurgy (PM) method. Average surface roughness (Ra) corresponding to each machining condition was measured. After the machining process the worn insert tips were examined under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chip geometry and machined surface photographs have been taken by optical microscopy. The experimental results showed that surface roughness decreased with increasing cutting speed for all of cutting tool materials. The best surface integrity was occurred after the machining with PCD insert at the highest cutting speed employed.

Cryogenic Machining

Titanium alloys are extensively used in aerospace and medical industries. About 15% of modern civil aircrafts are made from titanium alloys. Ti–6Al–4V, the most used titanium alloy, is widely considered a difficult-to-machine material due to short tool life, poor surface integrity, and low productivity during machining. Cryogenic machining using liquid nitrogen (LN2) has shown promising advantages in increasing tool life and material removal rate whilst improving surface integrity. However, to date, there is no study on cutting tool geometry and its performance relationship in cryogenic machining. This paper presents the first investigation on various cutting tool geometries for cryogenic end milling of Ti–6Al–4V alloy. The investigations revealed that a 14° rake angle and a 10° primary clearance angle are the most suitable geometries for cryogenic machining. The effect of cutting speed on tool life was also studied. The analysis indicated that 110 m/min cutting speed yields the longest tool life of 91 min whilst allowing for up to 83% increased productivity when machining Ti–6Al–4V. Overall the research shows significant impact in machining performance of Ti–6Al–4V with much higher material removal rate.

Machining Performance

The cutting tool heats up during the cutting of high-performance super alloys and it negatively affects the life of the cutting tool. Improved tool life can enhance both the machinability and sustainability of the cutting process. To improve the tool life preferably cutting fluids are utilized. However, the majority of cutting fluids are non-biodegradable in nature and pose harmful threats to the environment. It has been established in the metal cutting literature that introducing microgrooves at the cutting tool rake face can significantly reduce the coefficient of friction (COF). Reduction in the COF promotes anti-adhesive behavior that improves the tool life. The current study numerically investigates the orthogonal cutting process of AISI 630 Stainless Steel using different micro grooved cutting tools. Results of the numerical simulations point to the positive influence of micro grooves on tool life. The results of the main effects found that the cutting temperature was decreased by approximately 10% and 7% with rectangular and triangular micro grooved tools, respectively. Over machining performance indicated that rectangular micro groove tools provided comparatively better performance.

The cutting tool in the machining process plays an important role as it acts on the working material. There are a few methodologies have been persued to improve tool life, for example traditional cooling, single layer coating, multilayer coating, heat treatment process, nitrogen cooling and latest being the cryogenic treatment which reported a significant improvement in cutting tool life, chip morphology, reduction in heat generation. Hence, the cryogenic treatment is emerged as the sustainable machining process.  This paper presents machining of AISI 304 steel using both cryogenic treated (CT) and untreated (UT) cutting tool insert. The commercially available uncoated carbide insert has been cryogenically treated at -196°C for 24 hours soaking period. The machining test has been  conducted under four different cutting speeds. The material characterization of cutting insert is studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hardness test, and microscopic image analysis has been carried out before and after cryogenic treatment. The cutting tool performance is assessed in terms of of wear, cutting temperature, chip morphology, surface roughness under the influence of cryogenic machining and the results are contrast with UT one. The exploratory findings reveals that the deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) with 24 hours soaking period, performed better wear resistance and improved surface roughness of the cutting tool. Also considerable reduction in the flank wear, crater wear, cutting temperature is obtained and found improved chip morphology.

In this paper, based on finite element simulation software AdvantEdge, the effects of different coating materials and thickness on the wear of cutting tools during the machining process have been studied. For the tools with coating materials of TiAlN, Al2O3, TiN, TiC, we can calculate the wear rate according to the Usui mathematical model of tool wear, and then consider thickness factor of TiC coating. Because of the lowest thermal conductivity, the workpiece cut by TiC coated tool will soften first and more over cutting time, it result in the lowest wear rate. And with the increase of coating thickness, the effect of "thermal barrier" is more obvious for the relatively thicker coating tool, but the relative sliding velocity between the chip and tool is increasing meanwhile, so a suitable coating thickness is necessary.

Titanium alloy Ti-5Al-5V-3Cr-0.5Fe (Ti-5553) is a new generation of near-beta titanium alloy that is commonly used in the aerospace industry. Machining is one of the manufacturing methods to produce parts that are made of this near-beta alloy. This study presents the machining performance of new generation near-beta alloys, namely, Ti-5553, by focusing on a high-speed cutting process under cryogenic cooling conditions and dry machining. The machining experiments were conducted under a wide range of cutting speeds, including high speeds that used liquid nitrogen (LN2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as cryogenic coolants. The experimental data on the cutting temperature, tool wear, force components, chip breakability, dimensional accuracy, and surface integrity characteristics are presented and were analyzed to evaluate the machining process of this alloy and resulting surface characteristics. This study shows that cryogenic machining improved the machining performance of the Ti-5553 alloy by substantially reducing the tool wear, cutting temperature, and dimensional deviation of the machined parts. The cryogenic machining also produced shorter chips as compared to dry machining.
