AbstractNowadays, finishing operation in hardened steel parts which have wide industrial applications is done by hard turning. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts, which are expensive, are used for hard turning. The cheaper coated carbide tool is seen as a substitute for CBN inserts in the hardness range (45–55 HRC). However, tool wear in a coated carbide tool during hard turning is a significant factor that influences the tolerance of machined surface. An online tool wear estimation system is essential for maintaining the surface quality and minimizing the manufacturing cost. In this investigation, the cutting tool wear estimation using artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed. AISI4140 steel hardened to 47 HRC is used as a work piece and a coated carbide tool is the cutting tool. Experimentation is based on full factorial design (FFD) as per design of experiments. The variations in cutting forces and vibrations are measured during the experimentation. Based on the process parameters and measured parameters an ANN-based tool wear estimator is developed. The wear outputs from the ANN model are then tested. It was observed that as the model using ANN provided quite satisfactory results, and that it can be used for online tool wear estimation.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate wear mechanisms of a multi-layered TiAlN/AlCrN-coated carbide tool during the milling of AISI 4340 steel under cryogenic machining. Design/methodology/approach The wear progression was measured using a toolmaker microscope and an optical microscope. Later, a field emission scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis were used to investigate the wear mechanisms in detail. Findings A comprehensive analysis revealed that the main causes of tool wear mechanisms were abrasion and adhesion wear on the flank face. Originality/value The investigations presented in this paper may be used by the machining industry to prolong the tool life at higher cutting speed by the application of liquid nitrogen.

Composite machining is one of the hot researches currently, and optimal cutting parameters are particularly important to get ideal surface and reduce processing cost of workpiece. By comparison, the present paper selects the surface root mean square deviation Sq as the three-dimensional evaluation parameter of surface roughness to reflect the special appearance after cutting accurately. The single-factor experiment and orthogonal experiment were conducted to study the machining defects emerged and effect of parameters on surface roughness when side milling CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) with diamond coated carbide tool. The mapping relationship between cutting parameters and surface roughness was established based on the experiment results. Then, the cutting parameters were optimized by using genetic algorithm with two conflicting objectives: material removal rate and surface roughness. The experiment results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective, and can provide references for the actual processing of CFRP.
