Titanium is difficult-to-cut materials due to its poor machinability and thermal conductivity when machining at high cutting speed. To overcome this machining titanium alloy problem, this study in interaction between machining structural system and the cutting process are very important. One of the main problems in the cutting process is chatter vibration. Due to chatter problem, the mechanism to suppress chatter named, process damping is a useful method can be manipulated to improve the limited productivity of titanium machining at low speed machining in milling process. In the present study, experiment are conducted to evaluate and study the process damping mechanism in milling using different types of variable tools geometries. These tools are variable he-lix/uniform pitch, variable pitch/uniform helix and variable helix and pitch and uniform helix/pitch. The result showed that the variable helix and pitch tools is very significantly improve process damping performance in machining titanium alloy compare to traditional of regular tools and other irregular tools.

This paper is related to the air jet assisted machining method for a titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V ELI. The air jet assisted machining method is a new machining method, in which jet of the compressed air is applied to a tool tip together with flood coolant for reducing tool wear and also for extending tool life. In this experimental study, the new method was used in high-speed end milling for confirming the effect on tool life extension. Also, the optimal position of the jet nozzle was found. It was spotted that the new method is highly effective in reducing tool wear even at a high cutting speed. It is particularly noticeable that flank wear near the corner land, which is often severely damaged, was considerably reduced by the method. It turned out that the cutting forces and the degree of surface roughness observed through this method were almost the same as those through an ordinary method with flood coolant alone.

Si3N4/TiN nanocomposite tool and Si3N4/Ti(C7N3) nanocomposite tool were prepared. The cutting performance and wear mechanism of Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool was investigated by comparison with a commercial sialon ceramic tool in machining of 45 steel. Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool exhibits the better wear resistance than sialon at the relatively high cutting speed. The increased cutting performance of Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool is ascribed to the higher mechanical properties. Nano-particles can refine the matrix grains and improve the bonding strength among the matrix grains of Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool materials. It contributes to an improved wear resistance of the cutting tools during machining.

As a typical high strength material, titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr- 2Mo-0.1Si (TA19) is used to manufacturing the compressor power-brake of aircraft engine and the aircraft skin. All the machining experiments were carried out on a CNC-milling center under the stable conditions of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The performance and wear mechanisms of coated- and uncoated carbide tools have been investigated in this paper to evaluate the machinability of TA19 in face milling. The three tools used were PVD-TiN+TiAlN, CVD-TiN+Al2O3+TiCN and uncoated carbide inserts. The results indicated that PVD coating had the best performance than other tool materials in milling titanium alloy TA19, and the cutting force and the wear value were the smallest than that for CVD-coated and uncoated tools. The failure types of PVD-, CVD- and uncoated inserts were the crater wear and micro tipping; the crater wear and tipping; tipping. Abrasive wear and adherent wear were the predominant mechanism of PVD-TiN+TiAlN carbide insert in face milling TA19 alloy. For CVD- and uncoated carbide, adherent wear was predominant.

In this paper, a mechanical microscribing process is described that combines AFM probe-based microscribing with a five-axis microscale machine tool motion platform in order to achieve high scribing speeds, a large working volume, and the capability of cutting curvilinear patterns of grooves. An experiment is described that demonstrates groove formation, groove shape, and tool wear when long grooves are formed using multiple tool passes. A second more systematic experiment is described in which short-distance single-pass cutting tests were used to explore the effects of cutting speed, nominal tool load, and AFM probe mounting angle on groove geometry, tool wear, effective rake angle, and chip formation. Lastly, an experiment is described in which a long curvilinear groove is cut. It is shown that the most well-formed grooves were cut and acceptable tool wear was achieved, when using a high cutting speed, high nominal tool load, and low probe mounting angle. The capability of cutting grooves as long at 82 mm but with depths of only a few hundred nanometers, using a single tool pass at cutting speeds as high at 25 mm/min is demonstrated.

Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V has poor machinability, which leads to high unit cutting force and cutting temperature, rapid tool failure. In this study, the effect of the cutting speed, feed rate and cooling condition on cutting force and cutting temperature is critically analysed by turning experiment. At the same time, the relationship is established among tool wear, cutting force and cutting temperature. This investigation has shown that cutting speed is the decisive factor which increasing cutting force and cutting temperature. In the process of turning, tool wear results in high amounts of heat and mechanical stress, which leads to serious tool wear. The Minimal Quantity Lubrication reduces the frictional condition at the chip-tool, decreases cutting force and cutting temperature, and delays the tool failure.

The aim of this study were to evaluate the performance of PVD (TiAlN+TiN) and CVD (TiCN+Al2O3+TiN) coated inserts in end milling of EN–31 hardened die steel of 43±1 HRC during dry and MQL (Minimum quantity lubrication) machining. The experiments were conducted at a fixed feed rate, depth of cut and varying cutting speed to measure the effect of cutting speed on cutting force and tool wear of CVD and PVD-coated inserts. The performance of CVD and PVD-coated inserts under dry and MQL condition by measuring the tool wear and cutting force were compared. During cutting operation, it was noticed that PVD inserts provide less cutting force and tool wear as compared to the CVD inserts under both dry as well as the MQL condition because PVD inserts have a thin insert coating and CVD inserts have a thick insert coating, but PVD inserts experience catastrophic failure during cutting operation whereas CVD inserts have a capability for continuous machining under different machining. Tool wear has measured by SEM analysis. The result shows that MQL machining provides the optimum results as compared to the dry condition. MQL machining has the ability to work under high cutting speed. As the cutting speed increases the performance of dry machining was decreased, but in MQL machining, the performance of the inserts was increased with increases of cutting speed. MQL machining generates less cutting force on the cutting zone and reduces the tool wear which further increase the tool life.

There are lots of titanium alloy parts which have large-scale micro-structures in astronautic structure and medical implants, so the micro milling becomes one of the effective processing methods in getting the surface micro-structure. Because the titanium alloy has high caking property in processing, it needs a research on the cutting heat and force in order to get better machining precision and surface quality. According to the finite element theory in elastic and plasticity, the influence of cutting speed to the cutting heat and force is got by finite element simulation analysis to the titanium material TC4 in cutting process. It can get the simulation results of cutting heat and force in the micro milling processing by finite element analysis, and then compared, the basic influence which the cutting speed to the cutting heat and force is got. The correctness of the result is checked through cutting experiments.

In this study, surface roughness and burr were investigated in drilling of pure and carbon black reinforced high-density polyethylene at three cutting speeds and feeds with three drill point angles. The measurement results of surface roughness of drilled holes were evaluated by Taguchi and analysis of variance statistical methods to specify the optimal drilling parameters and the effects of selected drilling parameters. According to the results, lower surface roughness and fewer burrs were obtained in drilling at high cutting speed and low feed with drill tools having small point angle and it was specified that the carbon black reinforcement reduced the surface roughness. Additionally, the optimal drilling parameters were determined as drill point angle of 80°, feed of 0.1 mm/rev and cutting speed of 120 m/min and the most effective parameter was found as drill point angle and the least effective parameter was found as feed.
