Circular Saws

An analysis was conducted of the effects of cutting conditions in the cross-cutting of wood using circular saws. Gradual wear of the saw blade cutting wedges impacted the entire cutting process. Two different types of circular saw blades were used. One blade type featured sintered carbide tips and 54 saw blade teeth, whereas the other had high-speed steel with 56 teeth; both saw-blades were 600 mm in diameter with a rake angle of 20°. The two wood species were spruce (Picea abies) and beech (Fagus sylvatica). During sawing, the timber was fed at a velocity of vf = 6 and 12 m·min-1. The cutting speed (vc) was set at 60 m·s-1, 70 m·s-1 and 80 m·s-1. The saw blades were coated with three types of PVD coatings. The least energy intensive saw blade was a sintered carbide-free saw blade with a coating (AlTiN) at a displacement speed of 12 m·min-1 and cutting speed of 60 m·s-1 with a power of 1310,63 W. Any change of a saw blade considerably affected torque for all the wood species, so a particular type of saw blade will always have an impact on torque. Other parameters distinctively and individually influenced the process of wood sawing.

Increasing of cutting speed and thus increasing labour productivity is observed as a current trend in engineering production. This effort results to development of new cutting materials which are more capable to resist increased requirements on machined surface as well as operating life of the instrument. Nowadays, the most widely used materials used for cutting instruments are sintered carbides which are alloyed by other metals. The goal of this paper is to analyse change in quality of machined surface depending on the change of cutting conditions. For cutting operation, there were used a milling cutter high-speed steel 90 (HSS) and removable sintered-carbide tips with different radius. Steel 12 050 hardened for 17 HRC was used as a machined material. Firstly, hardness of machined as well as machining materials was analysed. Further, metallographic analysis and measurement of microhardness of the individual structure phases was processed. Cutting conditions of both instruments were selected depending on the machined material. Surface roughness indicates the quality of machined surface.

Distribution Of Stress

As cutting tool penetrates into workpiece, stress waves is induced and propagates in the workpiece. This paper aims to propose a two-dimensional discrete element method to analyze the stress waves effects during high speed milling. The dependence of the stress waves propagation characteristics on rake angle and cutting speed was studied. The simulation results show that the energy distribution of stress waves is more concentrated near the tool tip as the rake angle or the cutting speed increases. In addition, the density of initial cracks in the workpiece near the cutting tool increases when the cutting speed is higher. The high speed milling experiments indicate that the chip size decreases as the cutting speed increases, which is just qualitatively consistent with the simulation.

The current work presents the development of cost model for tooling during high speed hard turning of AISI 4340 hardened steel using regression analysis. A set of experimental data using ceramic cutting tools, composed approximately of Al2O3 (70%) and TiC (30%) on AISI 4340 heat treated to a hardness of 60 HRC was obtained in the following design boundary: cutting speeds (175-325 m/min), feed rate (0.075-0.125 m/rev), negative rake angle (0 to -12) and depth of cut of (0.1-0.15) mm. The output data is used to develop a new model in predicting the tooling cost using in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and rake angle. Box Behnken Design was used in developing the model. Predictive regression model was found to be capable of good predictions the tooling cost within the boundary design.

Composite Reinforcement

Thinner saw blades cannot resist large lateral cutting forces due to their lower stiffness. In this paper we propose a composite reinforcement method to improve the mechanical properties of circular saw blades. We analyze and simulate the stress and strain fields of our proposed reinforced circular saws by Finite element method. Our analytical results contain not only influences of reinforcing parameters but also loading conditions on the lateral stiffness and the natural frequency of composite saw blades. Here the reinforcing parameters include: 1) the reinforcement location on circular saw blades, 2) the volume fraction of the reinforcements, 3) the number of the reinforcements; and loading conditions include: 1) the cutting force, 2) the rotational speed. Our composite reinforcement model and simulation results can contribute to a better design of circular saw blades.

Increase Tool Life

Threading holes using tapping tools is a widely used machining operation in the industry. This manufacturing process involves a great tool immersion in the part, which involves both friction and cutting. This makes the use of coatings critical to improving tool life. Four coatings are used based on Physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology—TiN, TiCN, TiAlN and TiAlN+WC/C are compared to uncoated tool performance. The effect of various coatings on the life of M12 × 1.5 tapping tools during threading of through holes 20 mm deep, in GG25 casting plates, dry and applying cutting speed of 50 m/min. The end-of-life criterion has been established based on a cutting torque of 16 N-m. Taking the uncoated tap as a basis for comparison, it is observed that coatings based on PVD technologies increase tool life doubling in the most advantageous case with the TiAlN coating. PVD type coatings provide better protection to wear at cylindrical area of the tool, where the thread profile is finished, than uncoated taps. The teeth located in the cone-cylinder transition zone of the taps suffer the most wear regardless of the coating. However, taps coated with TiAlN+WC/C wear level values is lowest of all the coatings tested, which indicates a strong reinforcement in these teeth.

The cutting vibration is one of the main factors to affect precision machining. In this paper, the influence of tool rake angle on cutting vibration is studied at different cutting speed in turning operation, and corresponding theoretical analysis is made. The experiment results show that: the amplitude of machining vibration gradually decreases with tool rake angle increasing; while rake angle o g <0°, the biggest amplitude occurs at V=50~70m/min; While o g ≥0°, it is at V=160~180m/min. Moreover, theory and experiment foundation is presented on avoiding the biggest amplitude range so as to guarantee quality of precision machining at high speed.

Cutting Speeds

Machining is a popular and versatile manufacturing process that is widely used in today’s industry when producing metallic parts; however, limited tool life can make this an expensive and time consuming fabrication technique. Consequently, methods that decrease the rate of tool wear and, thus, increase tool longevity are a vital component when improving the efficiency of machining processes. To this end, cryogenically treating cutting tools (especially high-speed steel tooling) is becoming more commonplace since research has shown that the treated tooling exhibits significantly higher wear resistance. At this point, however, the effect of cryogenic treatments on ceramic tooling has not been established. Considering this, the research herein presents a feasibility study on the effectiveness of using cryogenic treatments to enhance the wear resistance of WG-300 whisker-reinforced ceramic cutting inserts. To begin, the effect of the cryogenic treatment on the insert’s hardness is examined. Subsequently, tool wear tests are conducted at various cutting speeds. Through this study, it is shown that cryogenically treating the ceramic inserts decreases the rate of tool wear at each of the cutting speeds that were tested. However, the degree of wear resistance introduced by cryogenically treating the inserts proved to be highly dependent on the cutting speed, with slower speeds exhibiting greater improvements. Thus, based on this initial study, the cryogenic treatment of ceramic tooling appears to produce beneficial results, potentially increasing the overall efficiency of machining processes.

Work-hardening of machined surface plays an important role in the evaluation of surface quality and performance of wear resistance in the process of machining components. In this study work-hardening of machined surface during milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy is investigated using micro-hardness experiments under different cutting conditions. Moreover, the wear resistance of machined surface including wear quantity and friction coefficient are obtained and studied by means of high speed ring-block friction-wear tester. The work-hardening and wear resistance are particularly sensitive to cutting speed. Friction coefficient has marked drop trends and the tendency of wear quantity is ascend in first and descend at last as work-hardening increases. The comparison of wear resistance under different cutting conditions shows that the wear resistance of machined surface can be directly affected by work-hardening and machined surface obtained by high speed milling with higher micro-hardness have more superior in wear resistance performance.

Serrated Chip Formation

The development of chip morphology, critical cutting condition of adiabatic shear during serrated chip formation and cutting forces were observed and measured by high speed turning experiment for 30CrNi3MoV hardened steel. Results show that the cutting speed and rake angle are leading factors to influence chip morphology and cutting forces. With the increase of cutting speed, the continuous band chip transforms into serrated chip at a certain critical value. As the rake angle is changed from positive to negative, the critical cutting speed of adiabatic shear significantly decreases, the cutting forces abruptly reduces when the serrated chip forms. The results from predicting critical cutting speed using the critical cutting condition criterion of adiabatic shear in metal cutting process show that the leading reason of serrated chip formation is that the adiabatic shear fracture repeatedly occurs in the primary shear zone.
