Milling is the surface machining process by removing material from the raw stock using revolving cutters. This process accounts for a major stake in most of the Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) industries. This paper discusses optimizing process parameters for machining the AA 2014 T 651 using a vertical milling machine with coated cutting tools. The process parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut, and type of the cutting tool with all its levels are identified from the previous literature study and several trial experiments. The Taguchi L9 Orthogonal Array (OA) is used for the experimental order with the chosen input parameters. The commonly used cutting tools in the machining industry, such as High-Speed Steel (HSS) and its coated tools, are considered in this study. These tools are coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN) and Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technique. The output responses such as cutting forces along the three-axis are measured using a milling tool dynamometer for the corresponding input factors. The input process parameters are optimized by considering the output responses such as MRR, machining torque, and thrust force. Grey Taguchi-based Response Surface Methodology (GTRSM) is used for multiobjective multiresponse optimization problems to find the optimum input process parameter combination for the desired response. Polynomial regression equations are generated to understand the mathematical relation between the input factor and output responses as well as Grey Relational Grade (GRG) values. The optimum process parameter combination from the desirability analysis is the HSS tool coated with TiAlN at a cutting speed of 270 rpm and a depth of cut value of 0.2 mm.

In the present investigation, a continuous wave fiber laser with maximum power of 400 W was used to cut a glass fiber reinforced plastic sheet of 4.56 mm thickness using Nitrogen as assisting gas. The influence processing parameters such as laser irradiance, gas pressure, and cutting speed on the cut surface quality were investigated by using response surface methodology. The different responses of laser cut surface such as upper kerf width, taper percentage along the cut depth, and heat-affected zone on the top surface were measured to analyze the influence of input process parameters on the responses. A statistical analysis on the obtained results was conducted and found that the optimum values of different input process parameters were laser irradiance: 8.28 × 105 watt/cm2, cutting speed: 600 mm/min and assisting gas pressure: 7.84 bar. The corresponding values of responses were upper kerf width: 177.4 µm, taper 0.73%, and heat-affected zone on top surface: 109.23 µm. The confirmation experiments were conducted with the obtained optimum parameter setting and observed that the predicted values and experimental values for upper kerf width, taper percentage and top surface heat-affected zone were within the error limits of 2.52%, 1.84%, and 0.45%, respectively. Furthermore, damages like loose fibers, interlayer fractures, evaporation of matrix material and fiber breakages were observed.

This paper presents an investigation into the minimum quantity lubrication mode with nano fluid during turning of alloy steel AISI 4340 work piece material with the objective of experimental model in order to predict surface roughness and cutting force and analyze effect of process parameters on machinability. Full factorial design matrix was used for experimental plan. According to design of experiment surface roughness and cutting force were measured. The relationship between the response variables and the process parameters is determined through the response surface methodology, using a quadratic regression model. Results show how much surface roughness is mainly influenced by feed rate and cutting speed. The depth of cut exhibits maximum influence on cutting force components as compared to the feed rate and cutting speed. The values predicted from the model and experimental values are very close to each other.

Titanium alloy is having a widespread application in the field of aerospace, marine and automobile industries. However, its machining is still a challenging task for the manufacturing industries due to the chemical reactivity and poor thermal conductivity properties. In this study, machining of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) was carried out with WM25CT cutting inserts. The effects of cutting speed, feed and depth of cut on cutting force, surface roughness, chip-reduction coefficient and flank wear of the cutting tool were analyzed. The response surface methodology (RSM) approach with central composite design and face centered was used to carry out the experimentation. The second order quadratic equations were developed and compared with the experimented data sets. From the analysis of the chip morphology, it was observed that side flow of chips and gap between the lamella of the chips varied with respect to the change in the process parameters. The type of chip produced also varied according to the variation of the process parameters. Severe nose damage was observed at cutting speed 160 m/min, feed 0.14 mm/rev, depth of cut 0.75 mm. Due to this snarled ribbon type of chips were produced in place of occurrence of the serration in the chips.

The objective of the present work was to investigate the effects of the various machining (turning) process parameters on the machining quality and to obtain the optimal sets of process parameters so that the quality of machined parts can be optimized. The working ranges and levels of the machining process (turning) parameters are found using three factors. Cutting speed (Vc - m/min), feed rate (f – mm/rev) and depth of cut (d - mm). The Design-Expert software has been used to investigate the effects of the Machining process parameters and subsequently to predict sets of optimal parameters for optimum quality characteristics. The response surface methodology (RSM) in conjunction with second order central composite rotatable design has been used to develop the empirical models for response characteristics. Desirability functions have been used for simultaneous optimization of performance measures. Also, the ANOVA technique and utility function have been used for response optimization. Confirmation experiments are further conducted to validate the results.

Trochoidal Milling

Surface quality has always been an important goal in the manufacturing industry, as it is not only related to the achievement of appropriate geometrical tolerances but also plays an important role in the tribological behavior of the surface as well as its resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Usually, in order to achieve sufficiently high surface quality, process parameters, such as cutting speed and feed, are regulated or special types of cutting tools are used. In the present work, an alternative strategy for slot milling is adopted, namely, trochoidal milling, which employs a more complex trajectory for the cutting tool. Two series of experiments were initially conducted with traditional and trochoidal milling under various feed and cutting speed values in order to evaluate the capabilities of trochoidal milling. The findings showed a clear difference between the two milling strategies, and it was shown that the trochoidal milling strategy is able to provide superior surface quality when the appropriate process parameters are also chosen. Finally, the effect of the depth of cut, coolant and trochoidal stepover on surface roughness during trochoidal milling was also investigated, and it was found that lower depths of cut, the use of coolant and low values of trochoidal stepover can lead to a considerable decrease in surface roughness.

Inferior Surface

Chatter is detrimental to turning operations and leads to inferior surface topography, reduced productivity, dimensional accuracy, and shortened tool life. Avoidance of chatter has mostly been through reliance on heuristics such as: limiting material removal rates or selecting low spindle speeds and shallow depth of cuts. But, modern industries demand increased output and not steady operational limits. Various research efforts have therefore focused on developing mathematical models for chatter formation. However, as yet there is no existent model that meets all experimental verification. This research employed a novel technique based on the synergy of statistical modeling and experimental investigations in order to develop an effective empirical mathematical model for chatter amplitude and to subsequently find optimal machining conditions. Ti-6Al-4V, Titanium alloy, was used as the work-piece due to its increased popularity in applications related to aerospace, automotive, nuclear, medical, marine etc. A sequence of 15 experimental runs was conducted based on a small Central Composite Design (CCD) model in Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The primary (independent) parameters were: cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut. The tool overhang was kept constant at 70 mm. An engine lathe (Harrison M390) was employed for turning purposes. The data acquisition system comprised a vibration sensor (accelerometer) and a signal conditioning unit. The resultant vibrations were analyzed using the DASYLab 5.6 software. The best model was found to be quadratic which had a confidence level of 95% (ANOVA) and insignificant Lack of Fit (LOF) in Fit and Summary analyses. Desirability Function (DF) approach predicted minimum vibration amplitude of 0.0276 Volts and overlay plots identified two preferred machining regimes for optimal vibration amplitude.

In this study, the response surface methodology was used to optimize the process parameters of constant speed horizontal spindle surface grinding. The experiments were conducted based on the design expert software. The surface roughness characteristics were investigated in AISI 1080 steel plates using A60V5V grinding wheels. The optimum parameters for minimum surface roughness were found using Design Expert software. The parameters for a particular surface roughness value can also be determined using the results of this experiment. This results shows that feed has a greater effect on surface roughness and feed has medium effect on surface roughness. While dressing depth of cut has a very minimal effect on surface roughness.

Surface roughness is an important surface integrity parameter for difficult to cut alloys such as Titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V). In the present work, initially a mathematical model is developed for predicting surface roughness for turning operation using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Later, a recently developed advanced optimization algorithm named as Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) is used for further parameter optimization of the equation developed using RSM. The design of experiments was performed using central composite design (CCD). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated the significant and non-significant parameters as well as validity of predicted model. RSM describes the effect of main and mixed (interaction) variables on the surface roughness of titanium alloys. RSM analysis over experimental results showed that surface roughness decreased as cutting speed increased whereas it increased with increase in feed rate. Depth of cut had no effect on surface roughness. By comparing the predicted and measured values of surface roughness the maximum error was found to be 7.447 %. It indicates that the developed model can be effectively used to predict the surface roughness. Further optimization of the roughness equation was carried out by TLBO method. It gave minimum surface roughness as 0.3120 μm at the cutting speed of 1704 RPM (171.217 m/min), feed rate of 55.6 mm/min (.033 mm/rev) and depth of cut of 0.7 mm. These results were confirmed by confirmation experiment and were better than that of RSM.
