Automated stone manufacturing has undergone considerable development in recent years. Thanks to international research dealing with the cutting, sawing and grinding of different natural stones, processing time shortens and tool-life lengthens. However, the process of stone milling has not been extensively examined yet, primarily because of the novelty of this technology. The aim of the research described in this article is to examine how variable cutting speed affects the quality of workpiece edges while milling granite materials. For the research, sample surfaces were formed on five granite slabs with different average grain sizes using five cutting speed values. Afterwards, changes in the average surface roughness and average edge chipping rate were examined. From the research results, it can be concluded that, due to an increase in cutting speed, the average edge chipping rate will decrease until reaching a borderline speed. In the case of a higher cutting speed, the referent tendency cannot be ascertained. A statistical analysis conducted in the scope of this research showed that if a variable cutting speed is applied, then changes in the quality of the sample surface edge can be inferred from the development trends of average surface roughness.

This paper represents a multivariate hybrid approach, combining Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to optimize different correlated responses during Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) process of titanium grade 6. The response parameters selected are the average cutting speed, average Kerf width and average surface roughness (Ra). All of them have been studied in terms of pulse-ON time, pulse-OFF time, wire feed and wire tension. As indicated by Taguchi’s signal-to-noise ratio, the optimum process parameters were achieved for the desired average cutting speed, average Kerf width and average surface roughness, respectively. At last, the optimum combination of process parameters was validated by affirmation test which gave considerably improved various quality characteristics. Confirmation test outcome revealed that multivariate hybrid approach MOORA coupled with PCA was a competent strategy to decide available cutting parameters for a desired response quality for WEDM of titanium grade 6.

In the machining process is very need high precision to get a good result. One of the benchmarks of the quality of the surface of the product workmanship in the machining process is surface roughness. The research was aimed at determining the contribution of the parameters of the machining process conducted on lathes. The research was conducted using lathes with machining process parameters that vary from cutting speed, and depth of nutrition, as well as using fixed parameters of feeding. The experiment was conducted using experimental method with the amount of cutting speed value (Vc) used by St 41 material of 20-25 m/min. The values used in this study were limited to 20, 21, and 22 m/min (Vc) values and cutting depths of 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 mm. Research shows the results of turning (Vc) 20 m / min. best depth using a cutting depth of 0.5 mm with a surface roughness value (Ra) of 2,743 μm, and (Vc) of 21 m/min, the best depth using a depth of 0.5 mm with a surface roughness value (Ra)1,495 μm, and using (Vc) 22 m/min, the best depth uses a depth of 0.8 mm with a surface roughness value (Ra)1,376 μm. the best value of the turning process uses 3 cutting speeds and 3 cutting depths at the turning process using (Vc) 22 m/min with a depth of 0.8 mm with a surface roughness value (Ra)1,376 μm

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are increasingly used in the fields of aviation, automotive and biomedicine due to their unique properties. Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) alloy materials, which are one of the shape memory alloys, are among the most frequently used alloy materials. The shape memory and super elastic effects of NiTi alloys, high ductility and deformation hardening make it difficult to shape burr. An additional problem is the formation of a white layer during machining. In this study, surface milling operations were performed in dry cutting conditions with uncoated cutting tools with different nose radii. The processing parameters were determined based on the experience gained as a result of the preliminary tests. Tungsten carbide cutting tools with different nose radii (0.4mm and 0.8mm) were used for the milling operations. Milling was carried out at three different cutting speeds (20, 35, 50 m/min), feed rates (0.03, 0.07, 0.14 mm/tooth), and a constant axial cutting depth (0.7 mm). As a result of our experimental studies, the best tool life was found to be in 0.8 mm nose radius cutting tools at 20 m/min cutting speed and 0.03 mm/tooth feed rate (0.264 mm). The minimum average surface roughness was found after milling with 0.8 mm nose radius cutting tool at 20 m/min cutting speed and 0.03 mm/tooth feed rate (0.346 μm). It has been determined that increasing the cutting tool nose radius reduces both the flank wear over the cutting tool and the average surface roughness.

To know the impact of processing parameters of PA6G under different humidity conditions is important as it is vulnerable to humidity up to 7 %. This study investigated the effect of cutting parameters to surface roughness quality in wet and dry conditions. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling is also developed with the obtained results from the experiments. Humidity condition, tool type, cutting speed, cutting rate, and depth of cutting parameters were used as input and average surface roughness value were used as output of the ANN model. Testing results showed that ANN can be used for prediction of average surface roughness.

The benefit of pre-sintered machining is to avoid machining difficulty of sintered parts especially hardenable PM steels. Pre-sintering treatments of green PM part at temperatures lower than the normal sintering temperature of 1120 °C result in green strength improvement high enough for machining. In this study, the influences of various pre-sintering temperatures and several machining conditions on machined surface quality of pre-sintered PM samples were investigated. The pre-sintered samples were machined by a turning process using a carbide cutting insert with varied cutting speeds at a fixed feed rate and depth of cut without cutting lubricant. Chromium alloyed PM steel (Astaloy® CrM) powder samples with (0.5 wt. %C) and without graphite (0 wt. % C) additions mixed with 1 wt. % of zinc stearate were prepared as green parts by cold compaction in a cylindrical die with diameter of 30 mm. Green density was about 7.00 g/cm3 and height of each sample was controlled by hydraulic pressure and powder weight of 80 g/sample. The green samples were treated by pre-sintering treatment before machining testing. Surface quality of each machined sample was evaluated by average surface roughness and surface texture by SEM analysis and the appearance of outlet edge breakout. The experimental results revealed that the pre-sintered samples with graphite addition showed better surface quality in terms of surface roughness and surface texture and small outlet edge breakout appearance. Moreover, at high pre-sintering temperatures of 900 and 1,000°C, the samples showed similar average surface roughness under the same turning conditions. The obtained surface textures were better than those of the samples pre-sintered at 700 and 800°C. The outlet edge breakout could not be found in the graphite-added samples pre-sintering at 1,000°C.

In this study, the effects of experimental parameters on average surface roughness and material removal rate (MRR) were experimentally investigated by machining of AISI 304 stainless steel plates by magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) method. In the study in which three different abrasive types were used (Al2O3, B4C, SiC), the abrasive grain size was changed in two different levels (50 and 80[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m), while the machining time was changed in three different levels (30, 45, 60[Formula: see text]min). Surface roughness values of finished surfaces were measured by using three-dimensional (3D) optical surface profilometer and surface topographies were created. MRRs were measured with the help of precision scales. The abrasive particles’ condition before and after the MAF process was examined and compared using a scanning electron microscope. As a result of the study, the surface roughness values of plates were reduced from 0.106[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m to 0.028[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. It was determined that the best parameters in terms of average surface roughness were 60[Formula: see text]min machining time with 50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m B4C abrasives, while the best result in terms of MRR was taken in 30[Formula: see text]min with 50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m SiC abrasives.

This study investigated the cutting characteristics of electrodeposited diamond core drill when used to drill a CFRP under wet condition. The effects of different tool shapes, grain sizes and feed rates were examined. A normal core drill, an eccentric with slits core drill (E.S.), and an eccentric with slits and chamfers core drill (E.S.C.) were used. The normal core drill had the shape of a hollow cylinder. The E.S. core drill had the inner cylinder shifted from the center of this tool and slits in the bottom of this tool. The E.S.C. core drill had chamfers on the periphery of this tool. The normal core drill caused severe workpiece core jamming even at 1st hole drilling, and its electro-deposited area was covered entirely by adhered chips. In the case of the E.S. core drill and E.S.C. core drill, the workpiece core did not jam and the thrust force was smaller than that of the normal core drill. The effect of chamfers was little. The E.S.C. core drill with #200 caused smaller surface roughness than that with #100. However, the thrust force was two times larger, and the delamination was observed at the exit point of the hole. In the lower feed rate per revolution the better surface roughness and the lower thrust force were obtained irrespective of the tool shape while the cutting speed showed little effect.

Abstract The research on automated stone machining processes was very significant in the last two decades. Sawing, cutting and grinding of different stones like granite, marble, limestone became cheaper and more productive because of the results of researches. When searching through international specialised literature in the topic of stone machining with machine centres, theoretical summaries or researches can hardly be found. The aim of the researchers writing this article is — as a pioneer in Hungary, but also among the first internationally — to examine the optimization and technological problems in the area of stone milling processes. The researchers have developed a complex research system with the collaboration of two departments of University of Technology and Economics and an industrial stone machining firm, Woldem Ltd. to solve the problems. This paper summarizes the parts of this system. General steps and results of research processes are demonstrated by reference experiments. Face milling operations were made on a granite block with five different cutting speeds and then the researchers measured slip safety and average surface roughness values in case of different samples. Finally, upcoming tasks of the research team are summarized.

The purpose of this research is to develop the models to predict the average surface roughness and the surface roughness during the in-process grinding by monitoring the cutting force ratio. The proposed models are developed based on the experimentally obtained results by employing the exponential function with four factors, which are the spindle speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, and the cutting force ratio. The experimentally obtained results showed that the dimensionless cutting force ratio is usable to predict the surface roughness during the grinding process, which can be calculated and obtained by taking the ratio of the corresponding time records of the cutting force Fy in the spindle speed direction to that of the cutting force Fz in the radial wheel direction. The multiple regression analysis is utilized to calculate the regression coefficients with the use of the least square method at 95% confident level. The experimentally obtained models have been verified by the new cutting tests. It is proved that the developed surface roughness models can be used to predict the in-process surface roughness with the high accuracy of 93.9% for the average surface roughness and 92.8% for the surface roughness.
