The effects of different machining parameters on surface roughness values of thermally treated pine, beech, and linden woods cut in a computer numerical control (CNC) router machine were examined. Wood specimens were thermally treated at 170, 190, and 210 °C for 2 h. Then, specimens were cut in the radial and tangential directions with three different spindle speeds (12000, 15000, and 18000 rpm) and three different feed rates (3000, 4000, and 6000 mm/min) using two different end mill tools (spiral and straight) on the CNC machine. The end mill type significantly affected the roughness values of the untreated and thermally treated specimens in both directions. Lower roughness values were found in the specimens (especially pine) machined with the straight end mill compared to those machined with the spiral end mill. Roughness generally decreased in the thermally treated specimens. However, thermal treatment temperature did not have a notable effect on roughness. As the spindle speed increased, the roughness values of all specimens decreased. In contrast, as the feed rate increased, the roughness values increased. Therefore, the end mill type, feed rate, and spindle speed were the most influential parameters on the roughness.

This paper examined the effect of machining parameters on surface roughness of medium density fiberboard (MDF) machined using a computer numerical control (CNC) router. The machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and tool diameter were examined for milling. The experiments were conducted at two levels of spindle speeds, four levels of feed rates, two levels of tool diameters, and two levels of axial depths of cut. The surface roughness values of MDF grooved by CNC were measured with stylus-type equipment. Statistical methods were used to determine the effectiveness of the machining parameters on surface roughness. The influence of each milling parameter affecting surface roughness was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significant machining parameters affecting the surface roughness were the feed rate, spindle speed, and tool diameter (p < 0.05). There was no significant influence of axial depth of cut on the surface roughness. The surface roughness decreased with increasing spindle speed and decreasing feed rate. The value of surface roughness increased with the increase of tool diameter.

Abstract In an effort to make microfluidic research more attractive and cost-effective, micromilled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has gained interests as an alternative method to the conventional cleanroom-based micromolds fabrication technologies. The most enabling aspects of micromilling are flexibility on the design changes and the ability to fabricate three-dimensional structures. However, the major drawback of micromilling based micromold fabrication is the presence of burrs and tool marks on the surface after machining. High surface roughness on replicated polymer results in poor bonding strength and optical clarity. The roughness of micromilled surface strongly depends on the machining parameters such as tool size, spindle speed, feed rate, width of cut, and depth of cut. Thus, it is crucial to optimize the machining parameters to obtain a good surface finish. Although the optimal fabrication parameters are used to machine the micromold, the surface roughness of micromilled mold is still relative high compared to the surface of unprocessed PMMA. In this paper, we first optimize the micromilling parameters of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machine to achieve the best possible of surface roughness. We have optimized the machining parameters for a flat endmill with 100 μm, 200 μm, and 400 μm in diameter of spindle speed, feed rate, width of cut, and the depth of cut respectively at 18000 rpm, 20 mm/min, 30 μm, and 20 μm. Then, a method to polish the structured surface of the micromilled mold was developed using the rotary magnetic field. By modifying the CNC program language G-code, we were able to control the polishing path, polishing force and time precisely. Consequently, the burrs and tool marks are completely removed, such that the roughness of the surface is decreased from 350 nm Ra to 30 nm Ra, and 1200 nm Rz to 300 nm Rz while the profile of microstructures is not deteriorated. Finally, we demonstrate our mold fabrication scheme by building a microfluidic immunoassay device with four Quake’s valves and showed the sequential assay process successfully.

Moth Flame Optimization Algorithm

This study emphasizes on optimizing the value of machining parameters that will affect the value of surface roughness for the deep hole drilling process using moth-flame optimization algorithm. All experiments run on the basis of the design of experiment (DoE) which is two level factorial with four center point. Machining parameters involved are spindle speed, feed rate, depth of hole and minimum quantity lubricants (MQL) to obtain the minimum value for surface roughness. Results experiments are needed to go through the next process which is modeling to get objective function which will be inserted into the moth-flame optimization algorithm. The optimization results show that the moth-flame algorithm produced a minimum surface roughness value of 2.41µ compared to the experimental data. The value of machining parameters that lead to minimum value of surface roughness are 900 rpm of spindle speed, 50 mm/min of feed rate, 65 mm of depth of hole and 40 l/hr of MQL. The ANOVA has analysed that spindle speed, feed rate and MQL are significant parameters for surface roughness value with P-value <0.0001, 0.0219 and 0.0008 while depth of hole has P-value of 0.3522 which indicates that the parameter is not significant for surface roughness value. The analysis also shown that the machining parameter that has largest contribution to the surface roughness value is spindle speed with 65.54% while the smallest contribution is from depth of hole with 0.8%. As the conclusion, the application of artificial intelligence is very helpful in the industry for gaining good quality of products.

Cutting parameters and material properties have important effects on the quality of milled surface, which can be characterized by fractal dimension and surface roughness. The relationships between two surface parameters (surface roughness and fractal dimension) and material hardness, elongation, spindle speed and feed rate were investigated, respectively, in this study. Four carbon steels, that is, AISI 1020, Gr 50, 1045 and 1566, were milled with five spindle speeds and four feed rates on a computer numerical control machine. The surface topographies were measured with a three-dimensional profiler. The surface profiles were obtained by re-sampling the data points on the surface topography in the measurement direction. The surface roughness and fractal dimension were calculated from the two-dimensional profiles, where the fractal dimension was obtained by the root-mean-square method. The results showed that for specific spindle speed and feed rate, the roughness of the milled surface decreased with the workpiece hardness, whereas the elongation and fractal dimension increased with the hardness. Based on the material hardness and elongation, spindle speed and feed rate, empirical formulae were established to quantitatively estimate the surface roughness and fractal dimension. Moreover, the spindle speed and feed rate can be easily calculated from the empirical formulae to achieve a surface with the desired surface roughness and fractal dimension. The empirical formulae have been demonstrated with the experiments and were shown to be applicable in estimating the surface roughness and fractal dimension for all carbon steels in end milling. The results are instructive for the fractal dimension estimation of the machined surfaces of carbon steel, which has not been previously studied.

Cutting fluid plays an important role in machining processes to achieve dimensional accuracy in reducing tool wear and improving the tool life. Conventional flood cooling method in machining processes is not cost effective and consumption of huge amount of cutting fluids is not healthy and environmental friendly. In micromachining, flood cooling is not recommended to avoid possible damage of the microstructures. Therefore, one of the alternatives to overcome the environmental issues to use minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) in machining process. MQL is eco-friendly and has economical advantage on manufacturing cost. However, there observed lack of study on MQL in improving machined surface roughness in micromilling. Study of the effects of MQL on surface roughness should be carried out because surface roughness is one of the important issues in micromachined parts such as microfluidic channels. This paper investigates and compares surface roughness with the presence of MQL and dry cutting in micromilling of aluminium alloy 1100 using DT-110 milling machine. The relationship among depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed on surface roughness is also analyzed. All three machining parameters identified as significant for surface roughness with dry cutting which are depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed. For surface roughness with MQL, it is found that spindle speed did not give much influence on surface roughness. The presence of MQL provides a better surface roughness by decreasing the friction between tool and workpiece.

Recently, researchers and engineers have been interested in the development of hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs) for the applications of automotive and aerospace industries owing to their superior properties due to the usage a wide range of material combinations in its manufacturing. The present study focuses on the machining of magnesium based hybrid composites reinforced with CNT (1vol.%) and SiC (2vol.%).The influence of machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, drill diameter and point angle on burr formation and surface roughness on drilling the composites were investigated using Taguchi method. The drilling parameters were optimized by using ANOVA experimental design and also find out the percentage of contribution of each factor. Based on the results, the most influential factor for the burr thickness was spindle speed and point angle. While spindle speed and feed rate were the influencing factors for surface roughness. The analysis revealed that burr height, burr thickness, and surface roughness decreases significantly with an increase in spindle speed.

Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been suggested due to intense interest from automobile, marine, aerospace and other structural applications owing to their balanced mechanical, physical and chemical properties. MMCs are manufactured in order to meet present demand such as low material density, high mechanical strength and higher wear resistance of the component. Generally,MMCs tend to form rougher surface during machining because of the abrasive nature of hard ceramic particles present in them. Stir casting technique was used for fabrication of this composite which ensures better homogeneity.Furthermore, an attempt has been made in this paper to examine the results on the surface roughness of Al-6082/SiC metal matrix composites (containing 0%, 5% and 10% SiC particles).Focus was spent on parametric optimization of these composites in order to achieve cost-effective machining limits. The machining parameter studies have been carried out through the design of experiments (DoE) under minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) condition and effect of machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface roughness was investigated to analyze the influence of reinforcement on surface roughness. In addition, analysis of variance was studied to obtain percentage contribution of machining parameters involved. Also, the surface morphology of the machined surface was studied through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Distribution of SiC in aluminum alloy is fairly uniform with few clusters. Results of the experiments revealed that most significant turning parameter for surface roughness was spindle speed followed by feed rate and depth of cut. Furthermore, an optimal setting parameter for getting lower surface roughness was presented in confirmation table.

Surface quality is among the predominant criterion in measuring machining process performance, including milling. It is extremely dependent on the process variable, such as cutting parameters and cutting tool conditions. The main intention of this research work is to study the effect of the milling machining parameters, including depth of cut, spindle speed, feed rate as well as machining pattern to the final surface area roughness of the fabricated dimple structure. The concave profile of the dimple is machined at the right angle to a flat Al6061 specimen using a ball end mill attached to a 3-axis CNC milling machine, and the surface area of the concave profile is measured using 3D measuring laser microscope. It is observed that surface area roughness reacts with the spindle speed and feed rate with different tool sizes. Based on the result gained, the work has successfully characterised the influence of studied milling parameters on the dimple surface area roughness, where within the range of the studied parameter, the surface area roughness varies only less than 2.2 μm. The research work will be continued further on the incline milling technique and micro size ball end mill.
