Analysis of the machined surface is one of the major issues in machining operations. On the other hand, investigating about the variations of cutting forces in machining operation has great importance. Since variations of cutting forces affect the surface quality of machined workpiece, therefore, analysis of the correlation between cutting forces and surface roughness of machined workpiece is very important. In this paper, we employ fractal analysis in order to investigate about the complex structure of cutting forces and relate them to the surface quality of machined workpiece. The experiments have been conducted in different conditions that were selected based on cutting depths, type of cutting tool (serrated versus. square end mills) and machining conditions (wet and dry machining). The result of analysis showed that among all comparisons, we could only see the correlation between complex structure of cutting force and the surface roughness of machined workpiece in case of using serrated end mill in wet machining condition. The employed methodology in this research can be widely applied to other types of machining operations to analyze the effect of variations of different parameters on variability of cutting forces and surface roughness of machined workpiece and then investigate about their correlation.

Analysis of the surface quality of workpiece is one of the major works in machining operations. Variations of cutting force is an important factor that highly affects the quality of machined workpiece during operation. Therefore, investigating about the variations of cutting forces is very important in machining operation. In this paper, we employ fractal analysis in order to investigate the relation between complex structure of cutting force and surface roughness of machined surface in end milling operation. We run the machining operation in different conditions in which cutting depths, type of cutting tool (serrated versus square end mills) and machining conditions (wet and dry machining) change. Based on the obtained results, we observed the relation between complexity of cutting force and surface roughness of generated surface of machined workpiece due to engagement with the flute surface of end mill, in case of using square end mill in dry machining condition, and also in case of using serrated end mill in wet machining condition. The fractal approach that was employed in this research can be potentially examined in case of other machining operations in order to investigate the possible relation between complex structure of cutting force and surface quality of machined workpiece.

It is known that geometry of cutting tool affects the cutting forces in machining operations. In addition, the value of cutting forces changes during machining operations and creates a chaotic time series (signal). In this paper, we analyze the variations of the complex structure of cutting force signal in rough end milling operation using fractal theory. In fact, we analyze the variations of cutting force signal due to variations of tool geometry (square end mill versus serrated end mill). In case of each type of end mill, we did the machining operation in wet and dry conditions. Based on the results, the fractal structure of cutting force signal changes based on the type of milling tool. We also did the complexity analysis using approximate entropy to check the variations of the complexity of cutting force signal, where the similar behavior of variations between different conditions was obtained. The method of analysis that was used in this research can be applied to other machining operations to study the influence of different machining parameters on variations of fractal structure of cutting force.

The surface quality generated when high speed dry end milling (HSDEM) Ti-6Al-4V-ELI titanium alloy with coated and uncoated carbide tools were investigated. Evaluation was conducted using TiAlN+TiN coated and uncoated cemented carbide tools under different high cutting speeds and feed rates conditions. Surface roughness and cutting forces were measured when using new tools. The milled surface quality and corresponding alteration were characterized through electron microscopy. Within the investigated conditions high quality surface finish was obtained on the machined surface. Increasing cutting speed from 200 to 300 m/min during the process improved the surface finished particularly under lower feed rates. In term of generated surface quality, uncoated H25 grade carbide tools out performed coated F40M grade specifically at the higher cutting conditions. The main damages observed after HSDEM on the surface for all machining conditions contain redeposited materials, feed marks, and tool edge marks. Under both tested feed rates the resultant cutting force decreased by increasing the cutting speeds and uncoated carbide tools provide the lower cutting forces compared to coated types.

Obtaining the optimum surface finish is one of the key factors in machining operations. For this purpose, engineers apply a set of machining parameters to obtain the desired surface quality. On the other hand, tool faces wear during machining operation that itself affects the surface quality of machined surface. Therefore, tool wear and surface finish of machined workpiece should be related to each other. In this research, we employ fractal analysis in order to investigate the correlation between variations of complex structure of machined surface and tool wear in turning operation. In fact, we changed the machining parameters between different experiments and investigated how the machined surface is correlated with the tool wear. Based on the obtained results, we can see the correlation between the complexity of machined surface and tool wear by increasing the depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate in different experiments. The method of analysis employed in this research can be widely applied to other machining operations in order to find the correlation between the surface quality of machined surface and tool wear.

Analysis of the cutting forces during machining operations is an important issue. The rough end mill with the serrated profile is broadly used for reduction of cutting forces during milling operation. Since cutting force changes in random behavior during end milling, in this paper we employ fractal theory to analyze the complex structure of cutting force signal. For this purpose, we investigated the influence of variations of cutting depth on variations of fractal structure of cutting forces in wet and dry machining conditions. The results of our analysis showed the variations of fractal structure of cutting forces between different cutting depths, in wet and dry conditions. The employed methodology in this research is not limited to rough end milling and can potentially be applied to other types of machining operations, where the variations of cutting forces is an important issue.

Cutting forces and machining error in contouring of concave and convex surfaces using helical ball end mills are theoretically investigated. The cutting forces are evaluated based on the theory of oblique cutting. The machining errors resulting from the tool deflections due to these forces are evaluated at various points of the machined surface. The influence of various cutting conditions and cutting modes on machining error is investigated and discussed.

Analysis of surface quality of machined workpiece is an important issue in machining of materials. For this purpose, scientists analyze how the texture of machined surface changes due to different conditions. Machine vibration is one of the factors that highly affects the surface quality of machined surface. In this research, we analyze the relation between machine vibration and surface quality of machined workpiece. For this purpose, we employ fractal theory and analyze how the complex structure of machined surface changes with the complex structure of machine vibration signal in case of variations of machining parameters, namely, depth of cut, feed rate and spindle speed, in milling operation. Based on the results, variations of surface quality of machined workpiece are related with the variations of complexity of machine vibration signal. The method of analysis employed in this research can be applied to other machining operations in order to find the relation between machine vibration and surface quality of machined workpiece.

In this paper, high speed milling experiments on Ti6Al4V were conducted with coated carbide inserts under a wide range of cutting conditions. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut on the cutting forces, chip morphologies as well as surface roughness were investigated. The results indicated that the cutting speed 200m/min could be considered as a critical value at which both relatively low cutting forces and good surface quality can be obtained at the same time. When the cutting speed exceeds 200m/min, the cutting forces increase rapidly and the surface quality degrades. There exist obvious correlations between cutting forces and surface roughness.
