Good Surface Roughness

Due to the widespread use of high-accuracy miniature and micro features or components, it is required to predict the machined surface performance of the micro milling processes. In this paper, a new predictive model of the surface roughness is established by response surface method (RSM) according to the micro milling experiment of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy which is carried out based on the central composite circumscribed (CCC) design. Then the model is used to analyze the effects of parameters on the surface roughness, and it can be concluded that the surface roughness increases with the increasing of the feed rate and the decreasing of the spindle speed. At last, based on the model the contour map of the surface roughness and material removal rate is established for optimizing the process parameters to improve the cutting efficiency with good surface roughness. The prediction results from the model have good agreement with the experimental results.

The objective of this work is the investigation of milling process variables which resulting in optimal values of the surface roughness and material removal rate during machining of 7024 Al-alloy. The machining operation implemented on C-TEK CNC milling machine. The effects of the selected parameters on the chosen characteristics have been accomplished using Taguchi’s parameter design approach; also ANOVA had been used to evaluate the contribution of each parameter on the process outputs. Different feed rates are used ranging from (60, 80 and 100) mm/min, found that high feed rates gives a high material removal rates and good surface roughness. On the other hand, using three levels of spindle speeds found that a higher spindle speeds gives better surface roughness with a little effect on MRR. The process results showed that maximum MRR achieved (2.40) mm3/min when machining feed rate (100) mm/min, spindle speed (1000) r.p.m, and depth of cut (0.6) mm while good surface roughness (0.41 µm) when machining feed rate (100) mm/min, spindle speed (1000) r.p.m, and depth of cut (0.2) mm. The level of importance of the machining parameters for material removal rate and surface roughness and is determined by using Taguchi designing experiments and the variance analysis (ANOVA).

Surface roughness in a turning operation is affected by a great number of factors. Two of the most important factors are feed rate and the size of the corner radius. Surface roughness can be roughly determined to increase with the square of the feed rate and decrease with increased size of the corner radius. However, wiper insert geometries changed this relationship with the capability to generate good surface roughness at relatively higher feeds by transferring small part of the round insert edges into the straight cutting edges of the pointed insert. The principle of how wiper inserts behave different from conventional inserts as to the effects on the surface roughness is explored in this paper. Experimental study of the surface roughness produced in the turning of hardened mild steels using coated carbide tools with both conventional and wiper inserts is conducted. The test results prove the effectiveness of the wiper inserts in providing excellent surface roughness. The results also suggest that the use of the wiper insert is an effective way that significantly increases cutting efficiency without changing the machined surface roughness in high feed turning operations.

Experimental Trials

Magnesium alloy is one of super alloys material which wide used in manufacturing of automotive, biomedic, sport and electronic components. It was due to very light and resistent to corrosion. Surface roughness value has an important role to estabilish the quality of components. To produce a good surface roughness of machined surface, one of the important thing depends on the friction between the cutting tool and workpiece material when cutting process occurred. The aim of this paper is to analyse the surface roughness values of machined surface when drilling of magnesium alloy AZ31 using design of experiment of Taguchi Method. The experimental trials took place at cutting rotation of 635, 970 and 1420 rpm, feed rate of 0.10, 0.18 and 0.24 mm/rev, diameter tool of 10, 12 and 14 mm. The cutting of magnesium alloy was done by using a convensional drilling machine with TCA –35Erlo. Analysis of variance on the data of surface roughness value was done to get which factor is the most significant. The result shows that the feed rate is the most significant factor that contributed on the surface rougness value of machined surface. The minimum surface roughness value was attained at cutting rotation of 970 rpm, feed rate of 0.10 mm/rev and diameter of tool of 14 mm. Therefore, it can be stated that selecting the low feed rate factor produced low surface roughness value. Another hand, using high cutting rotation resulted low surface roughness value.Keywords—drilling, surface roughness, magnesiun AZ31,Taguchi Method

Abstract Ti-6242 is a super alloy which exhibits the best creep resistance among available titanium alloys and is widely used in the manufacture by WEDM of aircraft engine turbomachinery components. However, the final quality of wire EDMed surface is a great challenge as it is affected by various factors that need optimization for surface integrity and machine efficiency improvement. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a set of cutting process parameters such as pulse on time (Ton), servo voltage (U), feed rate (S) and flushing pressure (p) on surface roughness (SR) when machining Ti-6242 super alloy by WEDM process using a brass tool electrode and deionized water as a dielectric fluid. WEDM experiments were conducted, and SR (Ra) measurement was carried out using a 3D optical surface roughness-meter (3D–SurfaScan). As a tool to optimize cutting parameters for SR improvement, Taguchi's signal‐to‐noise ratio (S/N) approach was applied using L9 (3^4) orthogonal array and Lower-The-Better (LTB) criteria. Substantially, the findings from current investigation suggest the application of the values 0.9 µs, 100V, 29 mm/min, and 60 bar for Ton, U, S and p cutting parameters, respectively, for producing a good surface finish quality. Percent contributions of the machining parameters on SR (Ra) assessed based on ANOVA analysis are 62.94%, 20.84%, 11.46% and 4.74% for U, S, Ton and p, respectively. Subsequently, accurate predictive model for SR (Ra) is established based on response surface analysis (RSA). The contour plots for SR (Ra) indicate that when flushing pressure p converges to a critical value (80 bar), a poor-quality surface finish is highly expected with the excessive increase in U and S. Electron microscope scanning (SEM) observations have been performed on machined surface for a wide range of cutting parameters to characterize wire EDMed surface of Ti-6242. SEM micrographs indicate that the machined surface acquires a foamy structure and shows white layer and machining-induced damage that the characteristics are highly dependent on cutting parameters. At high servo-voltage, the decrease in pulse on time Ton and feed rate S results in a large decrease in overall machining-induced surface damage. Moreover, for high servo-voltage and feed rate levels, it has been observed that pulse on time could play a role of controlling the surface microcracks density. In fact, the use of a low pulse duration of cut combined with high servo-voltage and feed rate has been shown to inhibit surface microcracks formation giving the material surface a better resistance to cracking than at high pulse duration.

Surface roughness and taper angle of an abrasive waterjet machined surface of 7075 Aluminum metal matrix composite were deliberately studied. Response surface methodology design of experiments and analysis of variance were used to design the experiments and to identify the effect of process parameters on surface roughness and taper angle. The jet traverse speed and jet pressure were the most significant process parameters which influence the surface roughness and taper angle, respectively. Increasing the pressure and jet traverse speed results in increasing the surface roughness and taper angle. At the same time, decreasing the standoff distance and jet traverse speed possibly enhances both the responses. The optimal process parameters of 1[Formula: see text]mm as standoff distance, 192[Formula: see text]MPa as water pressure and 30[Formula: see text]mm[Formula: see text]min[Formula: see text] as jet traverse speed were identified to obtain the minimum value of surface roughness and taper angle. Based on the optimal parameters, the confirmation test was conducted. The mathematical equation was obtained from the experimental data using regression analysis; it was observed that the error was less than 5% of the experimentally measured values.

Semi bonded abrasive lapping is an effective ultra-precision lapping method. It can obtain good surface quality of workpiece in short time. This paper focused on the differences of processing features by comparing semi bonded abrasive lapping and loose abrasive lapping in several groups processing parameters. The results showed that the surface roughness of workpiece in semi bonded abrasive lapping was far superior to that of loose abrasive lapping in same processing parameters. And the MRR (material removal rate) of semi bonded abrasive lapping was slightly lower than that of loose abrasive lapping. For these features of semi bonded abrasive, a new processing flow would also be proposed in this paper.

In this paper, plain aluminum was chosen as matrix alloy and graphene reinforced aluminum alloy composites was successfully prepared via powder metallurgy approach. Micro-milling experiments were conducted to explore the effect of varying graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) content (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% by weight) on the machinability of composites and their machining results were compared with that of plain aluminum. Chip morphology, milling force, and machined surface morphology were used as the machinability measures. Experiment results showed that when the content of GNFs is less than 1.5%, the grain refinement of GNFs plays a major role. The hardness and density of the composites are increased. When the content of GNFs is more than 1.5%, the agglomeration phenomenon is obvious, which reduces the hardness and density of the composites. Micro-milling results show that the milling force is the highest when the GNFs content is 1%, and curling degree of chips increased as FPT increase for a certain content of graphene of composites. Furthermore, when the content of GNFs in composites is more than 1%, the surface roughness of milling grooves is greatly improved, which may be related to the lubrication of graphene and the formation of continuous chips.

Ultraviolet Curable

Ultraviolet-curable resin was introduced as a bonding agent into the fabrication process of precision abrasive machining tools in this study, aiming to deliver a rapid, flexible, economical, and environment-friendly additive manufacturing process to replace the hot press and sintering process with thermal-curable resin. A laboratory manufacturing process was established to develop an ultraviolet-curable resin bond diamond lapping plate, the machining performance of which on the ceramic workpiece was examined through a series of comparative experiments with slurry-based iron plate lapping. The machined surface roughness and weight loss of the workpieces were periodically recorded to evaluate the surface finish quality and the material removal rate. The promising results in terms of a 12% improvement in surface roughness and 25% reduction in material removal rate were obtained from the ultraviolet-curable resin plate-involved lapping process. A summarized hypothesis was drawn to describe the dynamically-balanced state of the hybrid precision abrasive machining process integrated both the two-body and three-body abrasion mode.
