In this study, experiments of high-speed face milling of A6061 aluminum alloy with a carbide insert milling cutter under dry cutting conditions were conducted. The contact length between tool and chip, the workpiece vibration amplitude, and the arithmetic average surface roughness were measured under varying cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut). The characteristics of chip morphology were observed using scanning electron microscope. Experimental results showed that the increasing cutting speed reduced the tool–chip contact length, the workpiece vibration, and the surface roughness. The tool–chip contact length, the workpiece vibration, and the surface roughness were all increased with increasing cutting depth and feed rate. The results of chip morphology showed that the chips with serrated form were generated under high-speed cutting conditions. Moreover, scratch lines, plastic deformation cavities, and local molten chip material were observed on the slide chip surface.

High Speed Milling

In this study, the influence of cutting parameters and machining time on the tool wear and surface roughness was investigated in high-speed milling process of Al6061 using face carbide inserts. Taguchi experimental matrix (L9) was chosen to design and conduct the experimental research with three input parameters (feed rate, cutting speed, and axial depth of cut). Tool wear (VB) and surface roughness (Ra) after different machining strokes (after 10, 30, and 50 machining strokes) were selected as the output parameters. In almost cases of high-speed face milling process, the most significant factor that influenced on the tool wear was cutting speed (84.94 % after 10 machining strokes, 52.13 % after 30 machining strokes, and 68.58 % after 50 machining strokes), and the most significant factors that influenced on the surface roughness were depth of cut and feed rate (70.54 % after 10 machining strokes, 43.28 % after 30 machining strokes, and 30.97 % after 50 machining strokes for depth of cut. And 22.01 % after 10 machining strokes, 44.39 % after 30 machining strokes, and 66.58 % after 50 machining strokes for feed rate). Linear regression was the most suitable regression of VB and Ra with the determination coefficients (R2) from 88.00 % to 91.99 % for VB, and from 90.24 % to 96.84 % for Ra. These regression models were successfully verified by comparison between predicted and measured results of VB and Ra. Besides, the relationship of VB, Ra, and different machining strokes was also investigated and evaluated. Tool wear, surface roughness models, and their relationship that were found in this study can be used to improve the surface quality and reduce the tool wear in the high-speed face milling of aluminum alloy Al6061

Abstract High speed cutting (HSC) technology has the characteristics of high material removal rates and high machining precision. In order to study the relationships between chip morphology and machining surface characteristic in high speed cutting of superalloy Inconel718. High-speed orthogonal cutting experiment are carried out by used a high speed cutting device based on split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The specimen surfaces and collected chips were then detected with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and three-dimensional surface profile measuring instrument. The results show that within the experimental parameters (cutting speed from 8–16m/s, depth of cut 0.1–0.5mm), the obtained chips are sawtooth chips and periodic micro-ripple appear on the machined surface. With the cutting speed increases, machining surface roughness is decreases from 1.4 to 0.99μm, and the amplitude of periodic ripples also decreases. With the cutting depth increases, the machining surface roughness increases from 0.96 to 5.12μm and surface topography becomes worse. With the increase of cutting speed and depth of cut, the chips are transform from continues sawtooth to sawtooth fragment. By comparing the frequency of surface ripples and sawtooth chips, it is found that they are highly consistent.

Work-hardening of machined surface plays an important role in the evaluation of surface quality and performance of wear resistance in the process of machining components. In this study work-hardening of machined surface during milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy is investigated using micro-hardness experiments under different cutting conditions. Moreover, the wear resistance of machined surface including wear quantity and friction coefficient are obtained and studied by means of high speed ring-block friction-wear tester. The work-hardening and wear resistance are particularly sensitive to cutting speed. Friction coefficient has marked drop trends and the tendency of wear quantity is ascend in first and descend at last as work-hardening increases. The comparison of wear resistance under different cutting conditions shows that the wear resistance of machined surface can be directly affected by work-hardening and machined surface obtained by high speed milling with higher micro-hardness have more superior in wear resistance performance.

Resistance Performance

The wear-resistance performance of machined surface is an important factor in the evaluation of surface quality and precision in aerospace manufacturing industry. By using high-speed Ring-Block friction and wear machine (MRH-3), the influence of cutting parameters in milling aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 on wear-resistance of machined surface including friction coefficient and wear quantity are experimentally investigated.

The results show that the influence of cutting parameters on wear-resistance was also positively correlated with surface roughness and work-hardening of machined surface. The high work-hardening and surface quality had the promoting effecting on wear-resistance. The experiment and analysis results show that the machined surface by high speed cutting and lower feed rate has more superior in surface quality and wear-resistance performance comparing with conventional cutting speed.

This paper presented the experimental results about investigation of the influence of the cutting conditions on the surface roughness when hole turning the SCM400 steel. Three cutting paramesters that have mentioned in this study included cutting speed, axial feed rate, and cutting depth. The experimental design was chosen following the orthogonal matrix and added the center experiment points. The analyzed results show that the axial feed rate has the greatest degree of impact on the surface roughness. And, the second and third factors have negligible effect on the surface roughness that are cutting speed and cutting depth, respectively. These results will guide the determination of the cutting conditions in order to machining the part surface with roughness that was ensured the setting requirement. Finally, the directions for further research were also mentioned in this paper.

The Relationship

In this paper, an experimental study on the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness was conducted when milling X12M steel. The cutting tool used in this study is a face milling cutter. The material that is used to make the insert is the hard alloy T15K6. The cutting parameters covered in this study include the cutting speed, the feed rate and depth of cut. The experiments are performed in the form of a rotating center composite design. The analysis shows that for both Ra and Rz: (1) the feed rate has the greatest influence on the surface roughness while the depth of cut, the cutting speed has a negligible effect on the surface roughness. (2) only the interaction between the feed rate and the depth of the cut has a significant effect on both Ra and Rz while the interaction between the cutting speed and the feed rate, the interaction between the cutting speed and the depth of cut have a negligible effect on surface roughness. A regression equation showing the relationship between Ra, Rz, and cutting parameters has also been built in this study.

Purpose This paper aims to deal with the influence of cutting parameters on drill thrust force, delamination and surface roughness in the drilling of laminated jute/carbon hybrid composites. Design/methodology/approach The hybrid composites were fabricated with four layers of fabrics, which are arranged in different sequences using the hand-layup technique. Drilling experiments involved drilling of 6 mm diameter holes on the prepared composite plates using high-speed steel and solid carbide drill materials. Analysis of variance was used to find the influence, percentage contribution and significance of drilling parameters on drilling-induced damages. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was also conducted to understand the fracture behavior and surface morphology of the drilled holes. Findings The experimental study reveals that the most significant effect was the feed rate influenced the drill thrust force and the drill speed influenced both delamination factor and surface roughness of hybrid fiber-reinforced composites. From observations, the suggested combination for drilling jute/carbon hybrid composites is carbide drill, spindle speed of 1,750 rpm and feed of 0.03 mm/rev. Originality/value The new lightweight and low-cost hybrid composites were developed by hybridizing jute with carbon fabrics in the epoxy matrix with interplay arrangements. The influence of cutting speed and feed rate on delamination damage and surface roughness in the drilling of hybrid composites have been experimentally evaluated.
