Torus cutters are increasingly used in machining high-hardness materials because of high processing efficiency. However, due to the large hardness variation in assembled hardened steel workpiece, the tool wear occurs easily in machining process. This severely affects the machined surface quality. Here, we conduct a research on the tool wear and the machined surface quality in milling assembled hardened steel mold with a torus cutter. The experimental results show the abrasive wear mechanism dominates the initial tool wear stage of the torus cutter. As the tool wear intensifies, the adhesive wear gradually occurs due to the effect of alternating stress and impact load. Thus, the mixing effect of the abrasive and adhesive wears further accelerates tool wear, resulting in occurrence of obvious crater wear band on the rake face and coating tearing area on the flank face. Finally, the cutter is damaged by the fatigue wear mechanism, reducing seriously the cutting performance. With increase of flank wear, moreover, there are increasingly obvious differences in both the surface morphology and the cutting force at the two sides of the joint seam of the assembled hardened steel parts, including larger height difference at the two sides of the joint seam and sudden change of cutting force, as a result, leading to decreasing cutting stability and deteriorating seriously machined surface quality.

Machined Surface Quality

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is typically hard to process, because it is easy for it to generate processing damage such as burrs, tears, delamination, and so on in the machining process. Consequently, this restricts its wide spread application. This paper conducted a comparative experiment on the cutting performance of the two different-structure milling cutters, with a helical staggered edge and a rhombic edge, in milling carbon fiber composites; analyzed the wear morphologies of the two cutting tools; and thus acquired the effect of the tool structure on the machined surface quality and cutting force. The results indicated that in the whole cutting, the rhombic milling cutter with a segmented cutting edge showed better wear resistance and a more stable machined surface quality. It was not until a large area of coating shedding occurred, along with chip clogging, that the surface quality decreased significantly. At the stage of coating wear, the helical staggered milling cutter with an alternately arranged continuous cutting edge showed better machined surface quality, but when the coating fell off, its machined surface quality began to reveal damage such as groove, tear, and fiber pullout. Meanwhile, burrs occurred at the edge and the cutting force obviously increased. By contrast, for the rhombic milling cutter, both the surface roughness and cutting force increased relatively slowly.

The machinability of nickel-based superalloy GH4169 is very poor, the traditional machining of GH4169 using the cutting fluids with the active additives causes environmental and health problems, which is out of the request of the sustainable development strategy. In this paper a new green cutting technology with overheated water vapor as coolants and lubricants was proposed to achieve the aim of green cutting and high productivity. Cutting experiments and tool wear tests using carbide tool YG6 under dry cutting, emulsion and water vapor were performed. The cutting force, cutting temperature, machined surface quality and tool life were investigated; the curve of flank tool wear and relation between tool life and cutting velocity was carried out. The results of experiments indicated that during water vapor condition, the cutting force and cutting temperature was reduced, the machined surface roughness was improved, and the tool life was longed, respectively, and the higher velocity was taken during the some tool wear condition compared to dry cutting. The research results show that green cutting was achieved associated with overheated water vapor cooling and lubricating, at he same time the machined surface quality and production efficiency was increased.

The single point diamond turning process has been used extensively for direct optical surface fabrication. However, the diamond machined surfaces have characteristic periodic tool marks, which contribute to reduced optical performance such as scattering and distortion. In this paper, studies of the characteristics of diamond machined surface and scattering from the diamond machined surfaces are presented. Four different parameters, the first order optical diffraction, the zero order reflection, the surface roughness, and the residual tool mark depth, are used as indicators for the machined surface quality. Four sets of tests are presented showing the relationship between machined surface quality and machining conditions such as spindle speed, feedrate, and machining process. Finally, an empirical model is given based on the measurements.

In electrical discharge machining (EDM), the machined surface quality can be affected by the excessive temperature generation during the machining process. To achieve a longer life of the finished part, the machined surface quality plays a key role in maintaining its overall integrity. Surface roughness is an important quality evaluation of a material’s surface that has considerable influence on mechanical performance of the material. Herein, a sintered cermet tooltip with 75% copper and 25% titanium carbide was used as tool electrode for processing H13 steel. The experiments have been performed to investigate the effects of EDM parameters on the machined surface roughness. The findings show that, as the pulse current, pulse length, and pulse interval are increased, the surface roughness tends to rise. The most significant determinant for surface roughness was found to be pulse current. A semi-empirical surface roughness model was created using the characteristics of the EDM technique. Buckingham’s theorem was used to develop a semi-empirical surface roughness prediction model. The semi-empirical model’s predictions were in good agreement with the experimental studies, and the built empirical model based on physical features of the cermet tooltip was tested using dimensional analysis.

Abstract In this study a pulsed magnetic treatment was attempted to improve the cutting performance of the TiAlSiN coated WC-12wt%Co cemented carbide end mills and the effects of the strength of the pulsed magnetic field on the cutting forces, the cutting vibrations, the tool wear, the machined surface roughness and mechanical properties were investigated. It is found that the cutting performances of the coated tools are successfully improved with a relatively lower cutting force and less wear area. The average resultant cutting force Fxyave decrease by 14.53% in the last machining process when the optimum processing parameters of 0.5T magnetic field is used, accompanying a maximum decrease of 46.8% in the cutting vibration. The maximum reductions of 57.65% and 25.4% in the flank wear and the average surface roughness of the workpiece are obtained respectively after the treatment. Both the hardness and toughness of the cemented carbides are slightly improved with the imposition of the field. The improvements in the cutting performance of the tool are attributed to the enhanced adhesion strength between the coating and matrix, which is caused by the increased compressive residual stress induced by the PMT.

Abstract Titanium alloy materials, with excellent chemical and physical properties, are widely applied to the manufacture of key components in the aerospace industry. Nevertheless, its hard-to-machine characteristic causes various problems in the machining process, such as severe tool wear, difficulty to ensure good surface quality, etc. To achieve high efficiency and quality of machining titanium alloy materials, this paper conducted an experimental research on the high-speed milling of TC11 titanium alloy with self-propelled rotary milling cutters. In the work, the wear mechanism of self-propelled rotary milling cutters was explored, the influence of milling velocity was analyzed on the cutting process, and the variation laws were obtained of milling forces, chip morphology and machined surface quality with the milling length. The results showed that in the early and middle stages of milling, the insert coating peeled off evenly under the joint action of abrasive and adhesive wear mechanisms. As the milling length increased, the dense notches occurred on the cutting edge of the cutter, the wear mechanism converted gradually into fatigue wear, and furthermore coating started peeling off the cutting edge with the occurrence of thermal fatigue cracks on the insert. As the milling length was further extended, the milling forces tended to intensify, the chip deformation worsened, and the obvious cracks occurred at the bottom of chips. Moreover, the rise in milling velocity reduced the tool wear resistance, increased obviously the milling forces and the surface roughness.

Abstract Micromilling (MM) is favored by the field of high-precision micro parts. However, the high plasticity of Inconel718 often poses a threat to MM, such as pits, humps and gullies, which affect the surface quality. In this study, the influence of ultrasonic vibration assisted micromilling (UVAMM) on surface quality is comprehensively analyzed by using the machining process of workpiece vibration, combined with cutting force, tool wear, surface morphology and corrosion resistance. The results show that, on the one hand, small amplitude plays a significant role in reducing cutting force and inhibiting tool wear. On the other hand, smaller speed, smaller feed rate and moderate amplitude will produce better surface morphology, which is a uniform and regular fish scale surface with lower surface roughness and fewer surface defects. Furthermore, the application of ultrasonic vibration also significantly improves the surface corrosion resistance of Inconel718. It is worth noting that the surface corrosion resistance does not completely depend on the surface roughness, but also has a close correlation with the surface morphology.

Cutting force is an important signal in machining process and has been widely used for tool condition monitoring. Monitoring the condition of the cutting tool in the machining process is very important to maintain the machined surface quality and consequently reduce inspection costs and increase productivity. This paper utilizes I-kaz-based analysis of cutting force signal to monitor the status of tool wear. The cutting force signals are measured by two channels of strain gauge that were mounted on the surface of tool holder. Experiments were carried out by turning hardened carbon steel and cutting force signals were analyzed using I-kazTM technique by integrating two component of signals (I-kaz 2D, Z2), I-kaz of cutting force (Z of Fy), and I-kaz of feed force (Z of Fx). The results show that I-kaz of feed force can be effectively used to monitor tool wear progression during turning operation.
