In industry, hardened steels are used in manufacturing of the products such as machine parts and components. In this context, surface quality and vibration play a significant role for control of cutting parameters and cutting conditions in turning process of hardened steel materials. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of machinability on surface quality (Ra and Rz) and vibration in hard turning of conventional heat treated (CHT) and tempered (T) AISI 4140 (42CrMo4) steel samples using ceramic cutting tools under dry environment. They were selected as cutting parameters; four different cutting speeds (120, 160, 200, and 240 m/min), three different feed rates (0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mm/rev), and depth of cut (0.2 mm). To make the turning process more efficient and to measure the occurring vibrations, the data were obtained online from the ceramic cutting tool by accelerometers in three axes (x-Ch1, y-Ch2, and z-Ch3 directions). In addition, test results of hardness, tensile, microstructure images, Ra - Rz values, and chip thickness values of the experiment samples were analyzed and compared. With the microstructure obtained after the tempering process applied to the T sample, it was seen that it is more machinable and affects the surface quality - vibration positively. The results showed that the most important cutting parameter affecting vibration and surface quality was found to be the feed rate. The lowest Ra value was found as 0.144 μm at 200 m/min of cutting speed and 0.05 mm/rev of feed rate in the T sample. The lowest vibration amplitude value (Ch3) was measured as 0.0023 gRMS (Root Mean Square) at 120 m/min of cutting speed and 0.05 mm/rev of feed rate. According to the Ra and Rz values found in the literature studies, better surface qualities were obtained in the present study.

The effects of different cutting parameters, insert nose radius, cutting speed and feed rates on the surface quality of the stainless steel to be use in medical application. Stainless steel AISI 316 had been machined with three different nose radiuses (0.4 mm 0.8 mm, and 1.2mm), three different cutting speeds (100, 130, 170 m/min) and feed rates (0.1, 0.125, 0.16 mm/rev) while depth of cut keep constant at (0.4 mm). It is seen that the insert nose radius, feed rates, and cutting speed have different effect on the surface roughness. The minimum average surface roughness (0.225µm) has been measured using the nose radius insert (1.2 mm) at lowest feed rate (0.1 mm/rev). The highest surface roughness (1.838µm) has been measured with nose radius insert (0.4 mm) at highest feed rate (0.16 mm/rev). The analysis of ANOVA showed the cutting speed is not dominant in processing for the fine surface finish compared with feed rate and nose radius. Conclusion, surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius.

The current work presents the development of cost model for tooling during high speed hard turning of AISI 4340 hardened steel using regression analysis. A set of experimental data using ceramic cutting tools, composed approximately of Al2O3 (70%) and TiC (30%) on AISI 4340 heat treated to a hardness of 60 HRC was obtained in the following design boundary: cutting speeds (175-325 m/min), feed rate (0.075-0.125 m/rev), negative rake angle (0 to -12) and depth of cut of (0.1-0.15) mm. The output data is used to develop a new model in predicting the tooling cost using in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and rake angle. Box Behnken Design was used in developing the model. Predictive regression model was found to be capable of good predictions the tooling cost within the boundary design.

Micro-turning is a micro-mechanical cutting method used to produce small diameter cylindrical parts. Since the diameter of the part is usually small, it may be a little difficult to improve the surface quality by a second operation, such as grinding. Therefore, it is important to obtain the good surface finish in micro turning process using the ideal cutting parameters. Here, the multi-objective optimization of micro-turning process parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were performed by response surface method (RSM). Two important machining indices, such as surface roughness and material removal rate, were simultaneously optimized in the micro-turning of a Ti6Al4V alloy. Further, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was done on the cutting tools. The overall results depict that the feed rate is the prominent factor that significantly affects the responses in micro-turning operation. Moreover, the SEM results confirmed that abrasion and crater wear mechanism were observed during the micro-turning of a Ti6Al4V alloy.

AbstractEffect of cryogenic hard turning parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut) on surface roughness (Ra) and micro-hardness (µH) that constitute surface integrity (SI) of the machined surface of alloy steel AISI 52100 is investigated. Multilayer hard surface coated (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3/TiN) insert on CNC lathe is used for turning under different cutting parameters settings. RSM based Central composite design (CCD) of experiment is used to collect data for Ra and µH. Validity of assumptions related to the collected data is checked through several diagnostic tests. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine main and interaction effects. Relationship between the variables is established using quadratic regression model. Both Ra and µH are influenced principally by the cutting speed and the feed rate. Model equations are found to predict accurate values of Ra and µH. Finally, desirability function approach for multiple response optimization is used to produce optimum SI.

The turning process has various factors, which affecting machinability and should be investigated. These are surface roughness, tool life, power consumption, cutting temperature, machining force components, tool wear, and chip thickness ratio. These factors made the process nonlinear and complicated. This work aims to build neural network models to correlate the cutting parameters, namely cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate, to the machining force and chip thickness ratio. The turning process was performed on high strength aluminum alloy 7075-T6. Three radial basis neural networks are constructed for cutting force, passive force, and feed force. In addition, a radial basis network is constructed to model the chip thickness ratio. The inputs to all networks are cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate. All networks performances (outputs) for all machining force components (cutting force, passive force and feed force) showed perfect match with the experimental data and the calculated correlation coefficients were equal to one. The built network for the chip thickness ratio is giving correlation coefficient equal one too, when its output compared with the experimental results. These networks (models) are used to optimize the cutting parameters that produce the lowest machining force and chip thickness ratio. The models showed that the optimum machining force was (240.46 N) which can be produced when the cutting speed (683 m/min), depth of cut (3.18 mm) and feed rate (0.27 mm/rev). The proposed network for the chip thickness ratio showed that the minimum chip thickness is (1.21), which is at cutting speed (683 m/min), depth of cut (3.18 mm) and feed rate (0.17 mm/rev).

Manufacturers around the globe persistently looking for the cheapest and quality manufactured machined components to compete in the market. Good surface quality is desired for the proper functioning of the produced parts. The surface quality is influenced by cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut and many other parameters. In the present study attempt has been made to evaluate the performance of ceramic inserts during hard turning of EN-31 steel. The analysis of variance is applied to study the effect of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on Flank wear and surface roughness. Model is found to be statically significant using regression model, while feed and depth of cut are the factor affecting Flank wear and feed is dominating factors for surface roughness. The analysis of variance was used to analyze the input parameters and there interactions during machining. The developed model predicted response factor at 95% confidence level.

This article reports an experimental assessment of surface quality generated in the precision turning of AISI 4340 steel alloy using conventional round and wiper nose inserts for different cutting conditions. A three-factor (each at 4 levels) full factorial design of experiment was followed for feed rate, cutting speed, and depth of cut, with resulting machined surface quality characterized by resulting average roughness (Ra). The results show that, for the provided range of cutting conditions, lower surface roughness values were obtained using wiper inserts compared with conventional inserts, indicating a superior performance. When including the type of insert as a qualitative factor, ANOVA revealed that the type of insert was most important in determining surface roughness and material removal rate, with feed rate as the second most significant, followed by the interaction of feed rate and type of insert. It was found that using wiper inserts allowed simultaneous increases in feed rate, cutting speed, and depth of cut, while providing better surface quality of lower Ra, compared to the global minimum value that could be achieved using the conventional insert. These findings show that wiper inserts produce better surface quality and a material removal rate up to ten times higher than that obtained with conventional inserts. This clearly indicates the tremendous advantages of high surface quality and productivity that wiper inserts can offer when compared with the conventional round nose type in precision hard turning of AISI 4340 alloy steel.

This study evaluates the surface roughness and current values using cutting parameters in the turning of AISI H11 being hot work tool steel under dry machining conditions. The selected design factors are the depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed. A design of experiments was used to carry out this research. The obtained results were analyzed to determine the effects of input parameters on the resultant surface roughness, current using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The experimental results showed that increasing feed rate increased the surface roughness, and current values. The most effective cutting parameter on all the output parameters was found to be the feed rate on the surface roughness. Also, the motor current values were influenced by the 38,48% depth of cut, 23,98% cutting speed, 25,52% feed rate, respectively.

AbstractThe cutting parameters such as the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, etc. are expected to affect the two constituents of surface integrity (SI), i.e., surface roughness and micro-hardness. An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of the CNC hard turning parameters on the surface roughness average (Ra) and the micro-hardness (μh) of AISI 52100 hard steel under dry cutting conditions. Nine experimental runs based on an orthogonal array of the Taguchi method were performed and grey relational analysis method was subsequently applied to determine an optimal cutting parameter setting. The feed rate was found to be the most influential factor for both the Ra and the μh. Further, the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the cutting speed is the most significant controlled factor for affecting the SI in the turning operation according to the weighted sum grade of the surface roughness average and micro-hardness.
