In this paper, a finite element method was used to dynamically simulate the process of the edge defects formation during orthogonal cutting SiCp/Al composites. The influence of the cutting speed, cutting depth and rake angle of the PCD insert on the size of the edge defects have been investigated by using scanning electron. According to the simulated results, it can be provided that the cutting layer material has an effect on transfer stress and hinder the chip formation in the critical transition stage, and the critical transition point and distance are defined in this stage. The negative shear phenomenon is found when the chip transit to the edge defects in the flexure deformation stage, so the process of the chip formation is the basis of the edge defects formation. In addition, the relationship between the nucleation and propagation direction of the crack and the variation of the edge defect shape on the workpiece was investigated by theory, and it found that the negative shear angle formation is the primary cause of the edge defect formation. A mixed mode crack is found in the crack propagation stage. The sizes of edge defects were measured by the experiment and simulation, and the edge defect size decrease with the increasing of tool rake angle, while increase with increasing cutting depth and cutting speed.

This paper investigated the machinability of a stone–plastic composite (SPC) via orthogonal cutting with diamond cutters. The objective was to determine the effect of cutting depth on its machinability, including cutting forces, heat, chip formation, and cutting quality. Increased cutting depth promoted an increase in both frictional and normal forces, and also had a strong influence on the change in normal force. The cutting temperatures of chips and tool edges showed an increasing trend as cutting depth increased. However, the cutting heat was primarily absorbed by chips, with the balance accumulating in the cutting edge. During chip formation, the highest von Mises strain was mainly found in SPC ahead of the cutting edge, and the SPC to be removed partially passed its elastic limit, eventually forming chips with different shapes. Furthermore, the average surface roughness and the mean peak-to-valley height of machined surfaces all positively correlated to an increase in cutting depth. Finally, with an increase in cutting depth, the chip shape changed from tubular, to ribbon, to arc, to segmental, and finally, to helical chips. This evolution in chip shape reduced the fluctuation in cutting force, improving cutting stability and cutting quality.

The necessity of understanding the influence of cutting variables in orthogonal cutting of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is vital because of their significant influences to the quality of manufactured parts. In this present research work the influences of different cutting depths to the cutting and thrust forces have been analyzed and a comparison between an equivalent homogeneous material (EHM) macro-model and experimental results have been made. The reasons of the beginning high cutting and thrust forces have been studied and explained. The post analysis of the experimental machined surfaces has been done to analyze the generated surface roughness and fiber-matrix interface crack generation. Five different cutting depths and four individual fiber orientations have been tested both numerically and experimentally. Significant influence of cutting depths to the cutting force has been found and the surface quality of newly generated machined part is discovered as a function of cutting depth and fiber orientation.

Orthogonal cutting experiments of Fe-36Ni invar alloy are performed. The change of chip morphology with cutting conditions are investigated through metallurgical observation, and the critical cutting speed of adiabatic shear for Fe-36Ni invar alloy at different cutting depths and rake angles are given. In addition, the characteristic of chip deformation before the occurrence of adiabatic shear is also analyzed. The results show that the critical cutting speed decreases with the increase of cutting depth and hardness, but increases with the increase of rake angle. The deformation coefficient tends to a constant value with the increase of cutting speed.

Abstract This paper presents the results of the study of processes occurring in the cutting zone during the processing of polymer composite materials. The research included determining the effects of orthogonal cutting conditions, such as the cutting depth t and cutting rate v, on the tangential component Pz of the cutting force, the length lc of chips, as well as the vibration acceleration W, to clarify the results previously submitted to the scientific community and obtain new data. The study included 12 experiments for different cutting conditions with the cutting depth t varying in the range of 0.1—0.4 mm and the cutting rate — in the range of 6.7—30.2 m/min. The experimental results allowed to determine a range of cutting rates that lead to a low level of elastic deformations of reinforcing fibers. Based on the dynamics of increasing cutting forces in various cutting conditions, tool cutting edge wear, type and length of chips, as well as the vibration acceleration dynamics, we have found that reinforcing composite material fibers accumulate on the tool cutting edge, while elastic fracture of these fibers causes defect formation on the processed surface. The analysis allows giving recommendations on the need for research in the field of abrasive machining with rigid grinding wheels due to the highest hardness of the cutting tool surface, increased machining speed and the possibility of self-sharpening during tool wear.

Orthogonal cutting experiments of Fe-36Ni invar alloy are performed to investigate the influence of cutting conditons on adiabtic shear, which occurs in the process of chip formation of many materials. It is found that the cutting speed, cutting depth and rake angle all have influence on adiabatic shear and there is a critical cutting speed at which the adiabatic shear appears. By metallurgical observation, the critical cutting speed under different cutting depth and rake angles are given. A model based on linear pertubation analysis is used to predict the adiabatic shear critical ctting conditions of Fe-36Ni invar alloy. The comparison of prediction results and that of expriments shows that this prediction model is available.

In the cutting procedure, the cutting depth influences cutting forces, chip breaking, chip shaping, and the distribution status of residual stress. The two-dimension heat-mechanic coupling orthogonal cutting model is established with the FEM analysis software by use of the Lagrange quality point coordinate system description method in this paper. This paper simulates a typical work-piece chip breaking process with different cutting depth, which gets the cutting forces curves and the total status of residual stress distribution and the status.

Due to the superior mechanical and thermal properties of SiCp/Al composites, their poor machinability has been the main deterrent to their substitution for metal parts. Machining of SiCp/Al composites has been considerably difficult because the extremely abrasive nature of SiC reinforcements causes rapid tool wear. In this paper, an experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of the cutting speed, cutting depth and tool rake angle on cutting force during orthogonal machining of SiCp/Al composites. The results indicate that the cutting depth is one of the main cutting parameters that affect the cutting force, while the cutting speed and tool rake angle have no significant effects on the cutting force.

Abstract A unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate is a composite material made up of strong parallel carbon fibres incorporated in a polymer matrix such as epoxy to provide high stiffness and strength in the fibre direction of the laminate. Unfortunately, the interlaminar or intralaminar plane of this material has a low resistance to damages as the fracture toughness of a unidirectional CFRP laminate is related to the energy dissipation during the orthogonal cutting. The aim of this study is on cutting a unidirectional CFRP along the longitudinal or transverse directions, characterizing orthogonal cutting forces and the related fracture energy. Orthogonal cutting is performed using braised carbide tools for a range of cutting depth of 10-100 ³m with a rake angle of 30° to quantify the cutting forces and to observe the fracture mechanisms. The fibre orientations have a significant impact on surface bouncing-back. For some fibre orientations, the energy balance model is applicable, deducting the reasonable value of fracture toughness due to high normal force (F t). Fibre subsurface damage and cutting forces during cutting are found to be strongly influenced by the cutting depth. The input energy of cutting is released in form of new surface energy, fibre breakage, high bending energy, and chip fracture energy.

The pore spaces in sandstones are the result of the original depositional fabric and the degree of post-depositional alteration that the rock has experienced. The largest pore volumes are present in coarse-grained, well-sorted materials with high sphericity. The chief mechanisms which alter the shape and size of the pores are precipitation of cementing agents and the dissolution of soluble components. Each process may operate alone or in combination with the other, or there may be several generations of cementation and solution.The scanning electron microscope has ‘been used in this study to reveal the morphology of the pore spaces in a variety of moderate porosity, orthoquartzites.
