Single-grain grinding test plays an important part in studying the high speed grinding mechanism of materials. In this paper, a new experimental system for high speed grinding test with single diamond grain is presented. The differences of surface topography and chip morphology of Inconel 718 machined by single diamond grain and single CBN grain were evaluated. The grinding forces and corresponding maximum undeformed chip thickness were measured under different grinding speeds. The chips, characterized by crack and segment band feature like the cutting segmented chips, were collected to study the high speed grinding mechanism of nickel-based superalloy. The results show that the grinding speed has an important effect on the forces and chip formation, partly due to the temperature variation. As the speed increases, the groove surface becomes smoother.

Tool coatings can improve the machinability performance of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys. Therefore, in the current work, high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was carried out to determine the performance of various coated cutting tools. Five types of coated carbide inserts – monolayer TiCN, AlTiN, TiAlN and two layers TiCN + TiN and AlTiN + TiN, which were deposited by physical vapour deposition – were employed in the experiments. Tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness and chip morphology were evaluated and compared for different coated tools. To understand the tool wear modes and mechanisms, detailed scanning electron microscope analysis combined with energy dispersive X-ray of the worn inserts were conducted. Abrasion, adhesion, chipping and mechanical crack on flank face and coating delamination, adhesion and crater wear on rake face were observed during high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. In terms of tool wear, the lowest value was obtained with TiCN-coated insert. It was also found that at the beginning of the machining pass TiAlN-coated insert and at the end of machining TiCN-coated insert gave the lowest cutting force and surface roughness values. No change in chip morphology was observed with different coated inserts.

This study was carried out to investigate how the high-speed milling of Inconel 718 using ball nose end mill could enhance the productivity and quality of the finish parts. The experimental work was carried out through Response Surface Methodology via Box-Behnken design. The effect of prominent milling parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut (DOC), and width of cut (WOC) were studied to evaluate their effects on tool life, surface roughness and cutting force. In this study, the cutting speed, feed rate, DOC, and WOC were in the range of 100 - 140 m/min, 0.1 - 0.2 mm/tooth, 0.5 - 1.0 mm and 0.2 - 1.8 mm, respectively. In order to reduce the effect of heat generated during the high speed milling operation, minimum quantity lubrication of 50 ml/hr was used. The effect of input factors on the responds was identified by mean of ANOVA. The response of tool life, surface roughness and cutting force together with calculated material removal rate were then simultaneously optimized and further described by perturbation graph. Interaction between WOC with other factors was found to be the most dominating factor of all responds. The optimum cutting parameter which obtained the longest tool life of 60 mins, minimum surface roughness of 0.262 μm and resultant force of 221 N was at cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.15 mm/tooth, DOC 0.5 m and WOC 0.66 mm.

This paper analyzed the serrated chip formation process and mechanism in high-speed milling of nickel-based superalloy GH706. Firstly, analyzed two theories of serrated chip formation: cyclical fracture theory and adiabatic shear theory. Secondly, used the simulation of chip formation in high-speed milling of GH706 process, and concluded that the two major theories have achieved dialectical unity when machining for such difficult machining materials. Finally experiments for serrated chip, when cutting speed exceeded 200/min, serrated chips became more obvious. Research has shown that for nickel-based superalloy, adiabatic shear instability of the unstable thermoplastic in the first deformation zoon become the leader of formation of serrated chip, followed as the speed increases, fracture aggravate the degree of serrated chip.

This paper makes an experiment in high-speed milling of Inconel 718. Cutting tests were performed using round and ceramic tools, at feeds from 0.06 to 0.14 mm/tooth, Axial Depth of Cut from0.5 to 1.5mm,and cutting speeds ranging from 500 to 1037 m/min. The behaviour of the cutting forces during machining was then measure. The results show that cutting force increases first and then decreases with the increase of feed per tooth, the tool chipping and groove wear were found with the increase of axial cutting depth, and cutting force is increased; the increase in cutting force with the cutting speed increases, when the cutting speed reaches a critical speed, the cutting force as the cutting speed increases began to decline.

Wood-plastic composites have attracted extensive attention throughout the world because of their advantages. However, the manufacturing mechanism of the wood-plastic composites, i.e., high-speed milling technology, is not perfect and needs further study. The effects of the cutting parameters, i.e., the spindle speed, feed rate, axial milling depth, and radial milling depth, on the surface roughness and chip morphology were studied; the surface roughness values, Ra and Rz of high-speed milling wood-plastic composites samples were measured via high precision surface roughness measuring instrument, and their regression equations were calculated. The chips produced via a high-speed milling process were collected and studied. The results showed that the surface roughness of the wood-plastic composites increases with an increase in the axial depth, feed rate, or radial depth, but decreases with an increase in the spindle speed. In addition, the axial milling depth, feed rate, and spindle speed had a significant effect on the morphology of the chips. However, the effect of the radial milling depth on the morphology of the chips was not obvious. The results can provide a scientific basis for the optimization of high-speed milling processing of wood-plastic composites.
