ABSTRACTThe main purpose of coatings is to increase the lifetime of cutting tools, to perform continuous and economical material removal process, reducing the frequency of sharpening or replacement of the tool, which contributes to increase quality of product. Therefore, hafnium nitride (HfN) single layer coatings were deposited on High-speed steel by Magnetron Sputtering physical vapour deposition (PVD). The machining on AISI 1020 steel samples were carried out in a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, using coated and uncoated tools, the temperature of the different components were measured (steel bar and tool), due to continuous temperature measurement help to predict tool wear and the quality of finished piece [1] . In order to evaluate wear resistance and performance, not only temperature data were compared, the tool wear morphological analysis for flank wear was carried using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and work pieces roughness were checked through their surfaces in an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). In most of the parameters evaluated differences between the tools were identified, and results reveals that on HfN coating, occurs less wear, due the proportionality between the energy transfer and the tool deterioration, also the coating improves surface finish of the machined part; all of them are reflected in changes on process temperatures. The use of single layer HfN coating on cutting tools could increase their lifetime, improve the quality of the work piece, and even reduce process time and cost.

Tool wear of a cutting tool has a significant impact on the tool life and surface quality of the finished product. Tool wear is influenced by many factors such as cutting parameters, tool geometry, coating type, work piece material, chatter, and cutting condition. In the present work, the design of experiments (DOE) technique has been used for four factors at five levels to conduct experiments. Tool wear is taken as the response variable measured during end milling, while helix angle, spindle speed, feed and depth of cut are taken as the input parameters. The material and tool selected for this study are AISI 304 stainless steel and uncoated solid carbide end mill cutter respectively. The tool wear was measured using tool maker's microscope. The experimental values are used in six sigma software for finding the coefficients to develop the regression model. The direct and interaction effect of the machining parameter with tool wear were analyzed using contour graphs, which helped to select process parameters for reducing tool wear and also ensure quality of milling.

The cutting tool is the only element in a machine tool that requires frequent changes due to failure. Drill bit wear can cause catastrophic failure that can result in considerable damage to the work piece and the machine tool. Hence, there is an imperative need to keep a watch on the condition of the cutting tools during the machining process. Over the years, a wide variety of on-line or off-line techniques have been investigated for monitoring abnormal cutting tools. A variety of signals such as tool-tip temperature, forces, power, thrust, torque, vibrations, shock pulse, Acoustic Emission (AE) etc., have been used for monitoring tool failure by on-line technique. The detection and monitoring of AE is commonly used to predict tool failure. Present work involves estimation tool flank wear in drilling based on AE parameters viz., RMS, energy, signal strength, count and frequency by empirical methods of analysis like Multiple Regression Analysis and Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH). The experimental work consisted of drilling S.G Cast iron using high-speed steel drill bit and measuring AE parameters from the workpiece using AE measuring system for different cutting conditions. Machining was stopped at regular intervals of time and tool flank wear was measured by Toolmakers microscope. The experimental data were subjected to simpler methods of analysis to obtain a clear insight of the signals involved. The study of AE-time plots showed a similarity with three phases of tool wear, which implies that the measured AE parameters can be related to tool wear. Multiple Regression Analysis and Drilling is a major material removal process in manufacturing. Infact, the drills have been used widely in industry since the industrial revolution. It was estimated that 40% of all the metal removal operations in the aerospace industry is by drilling. Similar to the other cutting tools, after a certain limit, drill wear can cause catastrophic failure that can result in considerable damage to the work piece even to the machine tool [1]. GMDH methods were successful in estimating flank wear based on measured AE parameters. By Multiple Regression Analysis better estimation was obtained at lower cutting conditions. Three criterion functions of GMDH viz., Regularity, Unbiased and Combined were used for estimation with 50%, 62.5% and 75% of data in the training set. Estimation was done upto Level-4. The results of GMDH estimation showed that regularity criterion functions correlates well for the set of input variables compared with unbiased and combined criteria and least error of estimation was found when 75% of data was used in the training set. The optimum level of estimation increased with the increase in the percentage of data in the training set. Comparison of the performance of Multiple Regression Analysis and GMDH indicated that estimation by regularity criterion of GMDH had an edge over Multiple Regression Analysis.

Metal cutting process (cutting process) is to cut metal to get the shape and size and quality of the planned cutting surface. The metal cutting process is carried out with special tools, according to the type of cutting process. So the tools for one process cannot be used in another process, even for similar processes, the tools cannot be exchanged if the cutting plans are not the same. Lathe process is a machining process to produce cylindrical machine parts which are carried out using a Lathe. Its basic form can be defined as the machining process of the outer surface of cylindrical or flat lathe objects. Polyvinyl Chloride, commonly abbreviated as PVC, is the third-order thermoplastic polymer in terms of total usage in the world, after Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP). Worldwide, more than 50% of PVC produced is used in construction. PVC is produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomers (CH2 = CHCl). Because 57% of its mass is chlorine, PVC is the polymer that uses the lowest petroleum feedstock among other polymers. This research follows up the selection of configuration of the lathe machining process using plastic work pieces. In this study, Maximat V13 lathe and PVC type plastic were used. The variation of machining processes are spindle rotation (320, 540, and 900 rpm), feeding speed (0.07, 0.14, and 0.28), the use of tool types (carbide and HSS) and cooling (without cooling, coolant, and oil). So, with this research, it is expected that the optimal parameters in determining the configuration of the lathe machining process on a PVC work piece to produce a good turning surface can be achieved

Abstract The cutting forces that are generated during metal cutting influence the work piece precision, tool wear, the nature of the machined surface, and heat generation. These cutting forces can be measured analytically however; precise outcomes may not be expected due to its included stresses, parameters of cutting, and the perplexing tool geometry. Henceforth the exploratory estimation of cutting forces is fundamental. For this reason, a milling dynamometer of three-segment is structured, created, and tried to gauge the three cutting forces which are produced during the operation of milling strain gauges can be utilized to quantify dynamic and static cutting forces through milling dynamometer. During the process of metal cutting, a dynamometer that is based on strain gauge is fit for estimating three-force segments. The dynamometer was designed based on the octagonal ring principle. The octagonal rings orientation and location of strain gauges have resolved to expand affectability and to limit cross-affectability.

The machining of metals presents a unique tribological situation in which atomically clean, metallic surfaces are cleaved from the interior of the workpiece and maintained in a condition of nearly 100 percent real area of contact with the tool surface during sliding. The conditions of high pressure, high temperature, and essentially uncontaminated contact during sliding create a highly ideal tribological system for analysis. As compared to conventional sliding wear, the analysis of which is complicated by multiple passes of the counterface materials and various forms of contamination and surface reaction, the predictive modeling of tool wear has achieved somewhat greater, if still modest, success. Current models of cutting tool wear are assessed with regard to their usefulness in developing quantitative analytical methods for designing new tool materials and for selecting optimum tool materials under variations in cutting conditions. Approaches which predict the relative wear resistances of potential tool materials from the physical and chemical properties of the tool-work-piece system, without recourse to calibration tests for each system, are emphasized.

Purpose: To present a technology for hardfacing of metal-cutting tools by arc welding in vacuum. Design/methodology/approach: The experiments were carried out using an installation for arc welding in vacuum. Objects of research were metal cutting tools (lathe knives), made of high-speed steel HS6-5-2 on a base metal of structural steel C45. The structure, hardness and wear resistance after hardfacing and after a triple tempering at 560°C have been determined. The heat resistance of the obtained instruments has been examined. Findings: The microstructural analysis showed that the structure of the built-up layer consisted of martensite, retained austenite and carbides. This was confirmed by the values of measured hardness after welding which were about 63-64 HRC. The triple tempering led to an increase in hardness by 3-4 HRC. It was found that the built-up layers (cutting edges of tools) retain their hardness (HRC=63-65) up to a temperature of 615-620°C, which shows that the heat resistance of the build-up layers was similar to that of the hardened and tempered tools of the same steel. The built-up work-pieces (excluding heat treated) and the reference knife showed the same cutting qualities at cutting speeds in the range of 55 to 120 m/min. It has been found that triple tempering after hardfacing led to increased wear resistance and consequently the durability of the tool also increased due to the higher hardness. Practical implications: The practical application is related to the production of metalcutting tools. Originality/value: The proposed technological method allows to produce defects free built-up layers. The cutting properties of the built-up in vacuum layers are comparable to or better than those of new tools made of steel HS 6-5-2.
