AISI D3 steel is a new kind of hardened tool steel with excellent wear resistance. This hard material receives wide promotion, investigation, and application in the die manufacturing industries. In the machining of AISI D3 steel, tool wear has a close relationship with the presence of different constituent elements in the workpiece material and cutting conditions. This study reports an improved experimental investigation approach to the analysis of effect of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on cutting forces, surface roughness, tool wear, and chip morphology in high-speed turning of AISI D3 steel using a hybrid TiN-coated Al2O3 + TiCN mixed ceramic insert. The range of each parameter is set at different levels for the analysis purpose. The experimental observations show that the cutting force is predominantly influenced by the feed rate accompanied by the depth of cut. The predominant factor influencing flank wear is the feed rate accompanied by the depth of cut and cutting speed. Feed rate is one of the dominating factors that influences the surface finish characteristics. The characterization of tool wear and chip morphology was performed by a scanning electron microscope supplied with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy pattern. The results demonstrated that the predominant wear mechanism of the multilayered hybrid-coated tool was flank wear, crater wear, adhesion wear, and abrasive wear.

The wear characteristics and life of Al2O3/(W,Ti)C ceramic tool in turning NbCp-reinforced iron-based P/M composites was investigated. Experimental results indicate that cutting parameters have an influence on tool wear, among which cutting speed and depth of cut seem to be more prominent. The maximum flank wear rapidly increases as the increase in cutting speed and depth of cut. While, it increases gradually as the decrease in feed rate. Meanwhile, an empirical model of tool life is established, from which the influence of cutting speed and depth of cut on tool life is far greater than that of feed rate. Also from the empirical model, the preferable range of cutting parameters was obtained.

The present study aims to investigate the wear mechanisms of a TiN-coated mixed ceramic tool prevalent under different machining conditions during hard turning of hot tool die steel. The different wear mechanisms observed are abrasion wear at low cutting speed, low feed rate, and highest work piece hardness; formation of protective layer and built-up edge (BUE) resulting from tribochemical reactions between constituents of tool and work piece material at moderate speed. High temperature accompanied by high cutting speed resulted in the removal of the protective layer and suppressed the BUE formation. Hard carbide particles of work material at a higher feed rate severely gouged the tool flank land. Chipping and brittle fractures were observed at very low and high depth of cut. Adhesion of work piece material followed by plastic deformation and notching was clearly visible at low work piece hardness. The influence of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and work piece hardness on the progressive tool flank wear, and flank wear rate (VBr-μm/km) in the steady wear region was also analysed.

The current research presents an overall performance-based analysis of Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride [[CH3(CH2)5]P(Cl)(CH2)13CH3] ionic fluid mixed with organic coconut oil (OCO) during turning of hardened D2 steel. The application of cutting fluid on the cutting interface was performed through Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) approach keeping an eye on the detrimental consequences of conventional flood cooling. PVD coated (TiN/TiCN/TiN) cermet tool was employed in the current experimental work. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array and TOPSIS are executed to analysis the influences, significance and optimum parameter settings for predefined process parameters. The prime objective of the current work is to analyze the influence of OCO based Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride ionic fluid on flank wear, surface roughness, material removal rate, and chip morphology. Better quality of finish (Ra = 0.2 to 1.82 µm) was found with 1% weight fraction but it is not sufficient to control the wear growth. Abrasion, chipping, groove wear, and catastrophic tool tip breakage are recognized as foremost tool failure mechanisms. The significance of responses have been studied with the help of probability plots, main effect plots, contour plots, and surface plots and the correlation between the input and output parameters have been analyzed using regression model. Feed rate and depth of cut are equally influenced (48.98%) the surface finish while cutting speed attributed the strongest influence (90.1%). The material removal rate is strongly prejudiced by cutting speed (69.39 %) followed by feed rate (28.94%) whereas chip reduction coefficient is strongly influenced through the depth of cut (63.4%) succeeded by feed (28.8%). TOPSIS significantly optimized the responses with 67.1 % gain in closeness coefficient.

This paper details experimental results when turning Ti-6Al-4V using water-miscible vegetable oil-based cutting fluid. The effects of coolant concentration and working conditions on tool flank wear and tool life were evaluated. L27 fractional factorial Taguchi array was employed. Tool wear (VBB) ranged between 28.8 and 110 µm. The study concluded that a combination of VOs based cutting fluid concentration (10%), low cutting speed (58 m/min), feed rate (0.1mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.75mm) is necessary to minimise VBB. Additionally, it is noted that tool wear was significantly affected by cutting speeds. ANOVA results showed that the cutting fluid concentration is statistically insignificant on tool flank wear. A notable increase in tool life (TL) was recorded when a lower cutting speed was used.

High speed machining has many advantages in reducing time to the market by increasing the material removal rate. However, final surface quality is one of the main challenges for manufacturers in high speed machining due to the increasing of flank wear rate. In high speed machining, the cutting zone is under high pressure associated with high temperature that lead to increasing of the flank wear rate in which affect the final quality of the machined surface. Therefore, one of the main concerns to the manufacturer is to predict the flank wear to estimate and predict the surface roughness as one of the main outputs of the machining processes. The aim of this study is to determine experimentally the optimum cutting parameters: depth of cut, cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) that maintaining low flank wear (Vb). Taguchi method has been applied in this experiment. The Taguchi method has been universally used in engineering analysis.  JMP statistical analysis software is used to analyse statically the development of flank wear rate during high speed milling of hardened steel AISI D2 to 60 HRD. The experiment was conducted in the following boundaries: cutting speed 200-400 m/min, feed rate of 0.01-0.05 mm/tooth and depth of cut of 0.1-0.2 mm. Analysis of variance ANOVA was conducted as one of important tool for statistical analysis. The result showed that cutting speed is the most influential input factors with 70.04% contribution on flank wear.

The present research attempts to develop a hybrid coolant by mixing alumina nanoparticles with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) into ethylene glycol-water (60:40) and investigate the viability of formulated hybrid nanocoolant (CNC-Al2O3-EG-Water) towards enhancing the machining behavior. The two-step method has been adapted to develop the hybrid nanocoolant at various volume concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 0.9%). Results indicated a significant enhancement in thermal properties and tribological behaviour of the developed hybrid coolant. The thermal conductivity improved by 20-25% compared to the metal working fluid (MWF) with thermal conductivity of 0.55 W/m℃. Besides, a reduction in wear and friction coefficient was observed with the escalation in the nanoparticle concentration. The machining performance of the developed hybrid coolant was evaluated using Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) in the turning of mild steel. A regression model was developed to assess the deviations in the tool flank wear and surface roughness in terms of feed, cutting speed, depth of the cut, and nanoparticle concentration using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The mathematical modeling shows that cutting speed has the most significant impact on surface roughness and tool wear, followed by feed rate. The depth of cut does not affect surface roughness or tool wear. Surface roughness achieved 24% reduction, 39% enhancement in tool length of cut, and 33.33% improvement in tool life span. From this, the surface roughness was primarily affected by spindle cutting speed, feed rate, and then cutting depth while utilising either conventional water or composite nanofluid as a coolant. The developed hybrid coolant manifestly improved the machining behaviour.

In this work, the analysis of the cutting speed and feed rate influence on tool wear and cutting forces in Ti6Al4V alloy dry machining is presented. The study has been focused on the machining in a transient state. The tool wear mechanisms, tool wear intensity and cutting forces evolution have been analyzed as a function of the cutting parameters. Experimental results show that the main cutting force amplitude exhibits a general trend to increase with both cutting parameters. Crater wear was more evident at high cutting speeds, whereas flank wear was present on the whole interval of the cutting parameters analyzed. Furthermore, the cutting speed shows a slightly higher influence on crater wear and the feed rate shows a higher influence on flank wear. Finally, several experimental parametric models have been obtained. These models allow predicting the evolution of crater and flank tool wear, as well as the cutting forces, as a function of the cutting parameters. Additionally, a model that allows monitoring the tool wear on the machining transient state as a function of the main cutting force amplitude has been developed.

With increasing quantities of applications of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), the machinablity of these materials has become important for investigation. This paper presents an investigation of surface roughness and tool wear in dry machining of aluminium LM6-TiC composite using uncoated carbide tool. The experiments carried out consisted of different cutting models based on combination of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut as the parameters of cutting process. The cutting models designed based on the Design of Experiment Response Surface Methodology. The objective of this research is finding the optimum cutting parameters based on workpiece surface roughness and cutting tool wear. The results indicated that the optimum workpiece surface roughness was found at high cutting speed of 250 m min-1 with various feed rate within range of 0.05 to 0.2 mm rev-1, and depth of cut within range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm. Turning operation at high cutting speed of 250 m min-1 produced faster tool wear as compared to low cutting speed of 175 m min-1 and 100 m min-1. The wear minimum (VB = 42 μm ) was found at cutting speed of 100 m min-1, feet rate of 0.2 mm rev-1, and depth of cut of 1.0 mm until the length of cut reached 4050 mm. Based on the results of the workpiece surface roughness and the tool flank wear, recommended that turning of LM6 aluminium with 2 wt % TiC composite using uncoated carbide tool should be carried out at cutting speed higher than 175 m min-1 but at feed rate of less than 0.05 mm rev-1 and depth of cut less than 1.0 mm.

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
