As heat-treated wood has an ever-increasing application, the research of its machining is the subject of many studies. This article investigated the technical, technological, material, and tool-related factors that influence the quality of the machined surface (average roughness Ra) and energy consumption during the process of planar milling of heat-treated meranti wood. The experimental measurements were performed on samples that were treated by four methods at temperatures of 160 °C, 180 °C, 200 °C, and 220 °C. One sample was in its natural state. The cutting conditions were as follows: feed rates 6 m × min-1, 10 m × min-1, and 15 m × min-1, cutting speeds of 20 m × s-1, 40 m × s-1, and 60 m × s-1, and tool rake angles of 20°, 25°, and 30°. Experimental measurement of the surface roughness was performed using an LPM – 4 profilometer. Individual measurements of cutting power were performed via a frequency converter. The experiments determined the effects of the individual parameters on surface roughness in the following order: rake angle, heat treatment of the material, feed rate, and cutting speed. The effects of observed parameters on energetic efficiency were in the order: cutting speed, feed rate, rake angle, and heat treatment.

Polyetheretherketones (PEEK) have been widely used as biomaterials for trauma, orthopedics and spinal implants. However, machining of this material poses several challenges such as rough machined surface which can affect the implant functional application. This research attempts to optimize the machining parameter (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) for effectively machining Polyetheretherketones (PEEK) implant material using carbide cutting tools. Apart from optimizing machining parameters, effects of annealing condition on PEEK towards surface qualities are discuss. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) technique was used to evaluate the effects of the parameters and their interaction towards the ability of the optimum conditions. Based on the analysis results, the optimal machining parameter to obtain the smallest surface roughness values were by using spindle speed of 5754 rpm, feed rate of 0.026 mm/tooth and 5.11 mm depth of cut for un-annealed PEEK. As for the annealed PEEK to get the smallest surface roughness values were by using spindle speed of 5865 rpm, feed rate of 0.025 mm/tooth and 2 mm depth of cut.

In this paper we analyze the influence of cutting parameters on the surface quality, surface roughness respectively, processed by turning when heat treated bearing steel, also called hard turning, and processing by turning of bearing steel without heat treatment. We set parameters of the cutting regime influencing the achievement of roughness surfaces which must be within the predetermined requirements if bearing rings exceeding 500 mm in diameter. This analysis will be done by statistical methods using the software Minitab 14.

Surface roughness plays a critical role in evaluating and measuring the surface quality of a machined product. Two workpiece materials have been investigated by experimental approach in order to gain a better understanding of their influence on the obtained surface roughness in the micro-milling processes. The experimental results show that: surface topography is completely different for different materials at the same cutting speed and feed rate; surface roughness increases with an increase of material grain size. Surface roughness decreases to a lowest value, and then increases with an increase of the feed rate. A new surface model to illustrate the influence of material and uncut chip thickness was developed. The model has been experimentally validated and shows more promising results than Weule’s model.

Measuring the energy consumption and evaluating the efficiency of machining processes is necessary for their optimization and for implementation of cleaner production. The final product quality and the machining process of woodworking are of great interest. The properties of thermally modified wood make it more resistant to fungi, moulds, and ligniperdous insects than natural wood, so it is increasingly used in interior and exterior spaces. This study examined the energy demand of the milling of heat-treated oak wood (Quercus petraea) by ThermoWood® technology. The investigated technological parameters were thermal modification temperature (160 °C, 180 °C, 200 °C, and 220 °C), cutting speed (20 m × s-1, 40 m × s-1, and 60 m × s-1), feed rate (6 m × min-1, 10 m × min-1, and 15 m × min-1), and the material of the cutting tool. As the temperature of the thermal modification increased, the cutting power decreased due to a chemical degradation due to heating and reduced wood density. The lowest energy consumption was observed for the milling of wood treated at 220 °C with a cutting speed of 20 m × s-1, and a feed rate of 6 m × min-1.

The present work has been focused on cutting force (Fc) and analysis of machined surface in turning of AA 6061 alloy with uncoated and PVD-TiB2 coated cutting inserts. Turning tests have been conducted on a CNC turning under dry cutting conditions based on Taguchi L18 (21 × 33) array. Kistler 9257A type dynamometer and equipment have been used in measuring the main cutting force (Fc) in turning experiments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been applied to define the effect levels of the turning parameters on Fc and Ra. Moreover, the mathematical models for Fc and Ra have been developed via linear and quadratic regression models. The results indicated that the best performance in terms of Fc and Ra was obtained at an uncoated insert, cutting speed of 350 m/min, feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, and depth of cut of 1 mm. Moreover, the feed rate is the most influential parameter on Ra and Fc, with 64.28% and 54.9%, respectively. The developed mathematical models for cutting force (Fc) and surface roughness (Ra) present reliable results with coefficients of determination (R2) of 96.04% and 92.15%, respectively.

Abstract The current state of surface roughness focuses on the 2D roughness. However, there are shortcomings in evaluating surface quality of particle reinforced metal matrix composites using 2D roughness due to the fact that the measuring direction has a vital impact on the 2D roughness value. It is therefore of great importance and significance to develop a proper criterion for measuring and evaluating the surface roughness of cutting particle reinforced metal matrix composites. In this paper, an experimental investigation was performed on the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness in cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The 2D roughness Ra, 3D roughness Sa and Sq were comparatively studied for evaluating the machined surface quality of in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The influence of cutting parameters on the surface roughness was also analyzed. The big difference between roughness Ra measured along cutting and feed directions showed the great impact of measuring direction. Besides, surface defects such as pits, grooves, protuberances and voids were observed, which would influence 2D roughness value greatly, indicating that 3D roughness was more suitable for evaluating surface quality of cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The cutting depth and feed rate were found to have the highest influence on 3D roughness while the effect of cutting speed was minimal. With increasing feed rate, cutting depth or width, the 3D roughness increased accordingly. But it decreased as cutting speed increased.

Abstract The zirconia toughened alumina enhanced with titania and chromia (ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3) ceramic cutting tool is a new cutting tool that possesses good hardness and fracture toughness. However, the performance of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool continues to remain unknown and therefore requires further study. In this research, the wearing of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool and the surface roughness of the machined surface of stainless steel 316L was investigated. The experiments were conducted where the cutting speeds range between 314 to 455 m/min, a feed rate from 0.1 to 0.15 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.2 mm. A CNC lathe machine was utilised to conduct the turning operation for the experiment. Additionally, analysis of the flank wear and crater wear was undertaken using an optical microscope, while the chipping area was observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface roughness of the machined surface was measured via portable surface roughness. The lowest value of flank wear, crater wear and surface roughness obtained are 0.044 mm, 0.45 mm2, and 0.50 µm, respectively at the highest cutting speed of 455 m/min and the highest feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev. The chipping area became smaller with the increase of feed rate from 0.10 to 0.15 mm/rev and larger when the feed rate decrease. This was due to the reduced vibrations at the higher spindle speed resulting in a more stable cutting operation, thereby reducing the value of tool wear, surface roughness, and the chipping area.

After the processing of a clock dial, the precision dimension and uniform distribution of the tool-trace pattern on the dial surface have a connection with luster image and attractiveness, which in turn would have an impact on the additional values and prices for a clock. Through a systematic investigation among the lathe structure, process parameter and cutting-tool geometry in advance, the total results indicated that the rigidity of the lathe structure and the precision of the slider movements are excellent and they had only a little effect on the surface-related quality for a dial face turning. Hence, the combination of process parameter and cutting-tool angle becomes more essential. End face turning simulation and experiment of a copper alloy were thus conducted in this paper, and the chip formation process and machined surface-related quality are investigated, respectively. The effects of cutting tool geometry and process parameter on the results of chip formation, surface rough, tool-trace pattern and luster uniformity are investigated, and these results are also compared with each other. The results show that when larger clearance and rake angles used in conjunction with a lower feed rate, no matter how much cutting speed was enhanced, the surface-related quality of a dial surface is not good. However, when these two larger angles used combined with a larger feed rate, the quality of a dial surface would slightly be improved. By using smaller clearance and rake angles along with the higher feed rate and cutting speed would obtain a better surface-related quality with uniform luster and attractiveness.

This work investigated the influences of cutting speed and feed rate on surface roughness in hard turning of AISI 4140 chromium molybdenum steel bar using mixed ceramic inserts Al2O3+TiC under dry condition for automotive industry applications. Turning experiments were conducted by varying cutting speed ranging from 150 to 220 m/min and feed rate ranging from 0.06 to 1 mm/rev. General factorial design was used to analyze the data set of surface roughness and determine statistically significant process factors based on analysis of variance results. The results showed that average surface roughness was significantly affected by feed rate and interaction between cutting speed and feed rate at the level of significance of 0.05. An optimal operating condition for hard turning of AISI 4140 with the ceramic cutting tool that produced a minimum machined surface roughness was obtained at cutting speed of 220 m/min and 0.06 mm/rev.

The use of magnesium alloys in construction of different components of the mechanical systems (such: cars, aerospace vehicles, medical equipment etc.) is very efficient not only because it leads to reduction of the systems weight but also because it leads to reduction or elimination of the environment polluting and to reduction of the energy consumption. Generally, the main factors that influence the quality of the machined surfaces are as follows: cutting parameters, material properties, geometry of the tools, cooling liquids and lubricants, physical and mechanical properties of the subsurface layers etc. Among the above mentioned factors, cutting parameters are the factors that strongly influence the quality of the machined surfaces. The present paper analysis the results of the experimental investigation performed to determine the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth) on the surface quality machined by turning the AZ61 magnesium alloy. The main characteristics of the machined surface quality analyzed in experimental investigation were the surface roughness and hardness. The main conclusions resulted from the results analysis were as follows: the decrease of the feed rate led to surface roughness decrease and hardness increase; the increase of the cutting speed also led to an improved surface quality.
